A BUMPER crop of new car debuts are scheduled for the Goodwood Festival of Speed (3-5 July). It’s not long now until Britain's largest annual 'moving motor show' opens its doors to 145,000-plus visitors Goodwood has firmly established itself as the best place to see the latest motoring marvels and best supercars in action from around the globe, and event organisers are claiming that this year is no exception, with a number of significant new models making their UK or European debuts.
The Sunday Times Supercar Run provides a dynamic environment in which the public can view new models for the first time. Unlike a conventional motor show, the Supercar Run affords an opportunity not only to exhibit a new supercar, but also to show it in action on the Goodwood hillclimb.
This year 50 cars will participate in the Run, the majority of which have never been seen publically in action before.
Supercars set to make their UK debuts will include the targa-top Bugatti Veyron Gran Sport, the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren SLR Stirling Moss, Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M, Pagani Zonda R and the Tramontana from Spain.
Other Goodwood debutants include the Porsche Panamera S, Audi R8 V10, Morgan Aero SuperSports, Aston Martin V12 Vantage, Lotus Evora, Lexus LF-A and Nissan's new GT-R Spec V and 370Z.
A number of concept cars will be seen in action for the first time, including the GTbyCitroen, as well as the striking Bertone Mantide.
Giugiaro's latest hybrid concept sports car, the Ital Design Frazer Nash Namir, the Infiniti Essence and the unusual Rinspeed Projekt iChange will also be driven up the Goodwood hill as part of a class of low emission vehicles, new to this year's Festival.
Also represented with their latest supercar models will be manufacturers such as Alfa Romeo, Ariel, Bentley, BMW, Caparo, Jaguar, Koenigsegg, Lamborghini, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, Pagani, RUF and Spyker.
