CHICHESTER, ENGLAND • The Goodwood Festival of Speed has firmly established itself as the best place to see legendary racing cars and bikes in action, but the latest exotic cars from around the globe are also in attendance to thrill the crowd with their sleek presence.
The Sunday Times Supercar Run is unique in providing an environment in which the public can not only view new models for the first time but also to see them in action on the Goodwood hillclimb.
This year, dozens of cars — some with price tags of more than $1-million — participated in the Run. Supercars making their U.K. debuts included the new targa-top Bugatti Veyron Gran Sport, the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Stirling Moss, the Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M, the Pagani Zonda R and the Tramontana from Spain.
Other Goodwood debutants included the Porsche Panamera S, the Audi R8 V10, the Morgan Aero SuperSports, Aston Martin's V12 Vantage, the Lotus Evora, the Lexus LF-A and Nissan’s GT-R Spec V and 370Z.
