GOODWOOD GATHERS NEW CARS GALORE AT BRITAIN 'S LARGEST ‘MOVING MOTOR SHOW,' THE 2009 FESTIVAL OF SPEEDA bumper crop of new car debuts scheduled for the Goodwood Festival of Speed (3-5 July)
In just two weeks time Britain 's largest annual ‘moving motor show' opens its doors to 145,000+ visitors as the Festival of Speed gets underway (3-5 July). 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 this year is no exception with a number of significant new models making their UK or European debuts.
The Sunday Times Supercar Run is unique in providing a dynamic environment in which the public can view new models for the first time. Unlike a conventional motor show, the Supercar Run affords a fantastic 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 awesome Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren SLR Stirling Moss , Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M, Pagani Zonda R and the wild 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 sensational 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 stunning 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. These cars will be located in the FoS-TECH pavilion, in association with BP Ultimate. This year FoS-TECH becomes a ‘live' paddock for green-focused concept cars. 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 .
Away from the Supercar Run, over a dozen other new vehicles will be making their UK public debut, including the new Mazda 3, Mercedes-Benz E-Class saloon and coupe, E 63 AMG, production Ford Focus RS, Alpina B7, Vauxhall Insignia VXR, Audi A1 concept, TT RS and S5 Cabriolet and the British debut of the Infiniti brand, with the very first RHD product Infiniti in action; a G37 Convertible .
