This year’s motor show at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK will feature the first appearance of at least 25 of the world’s most exciting new cars.
The list of cars making UK, European or world debuts at the Goodwood Moving Motor Show includes the McLaren 570S Sprint, Porsche 911 R, Ferrari 488 Spider and Tesla Model X.
The Festival of Speed will take place from June 23 to 26, against the spectacular backdrop of Goodwood House in West Sussex.
Thirteen of the world’s largest car manufacturers will appear at the Moving Motor Show, which kicks off the festival on June 23.
Alongside this year’s Honoured Marque, BMW, confirmed manufacturers for the motor show are Aston Martin, Ford, Dacia, Ferrari, Honda, Lexus, Maserati, Subaru, Abarth, Porsche, Renault Sport, Mazda and Toyota.
BMW will feature on two stands at the event, celebrating its centenary showcasing the rich heritage of its M Sport line of vehicles, as well as looking to future technologies with the story of its i8. The German marque will also open this year’s Festival of Speed, with event founder Lord March driving a classic BMW 507 up the Goodwood hillclimb in the first run of the weekend.
The Moving Motor Show gives motor manufacturers a platform on which to showcase their very latest models and, in some cases, providing an opportunity for visitors to get behind the wheel themselves and tackle a specially-constructed course around the Festival of Speed grounds.
