Goodwood 2026: Discover some of the festival's new features.

Every year, the Goodwood Festival of Speed becomes one of the biggest stages in the automotive industry. Much more than a gathering for car enthusiasts, the British event brings together manufacturers from around the world, who use the occasion to unveil new models, hypercars, concept cars and racing machines.

The 2026 edition once again lived up to that reputation. From machines producing more than 2,000 hp to ultra-exclusive limited editions and prototypes previewing the future of motoring, here are some of the biggest highlights showcased on Goodwood's famous Hillclimb.

McLaren 788HS

Alongside the W1, McLaren also unveiled the new 788HS, a special edition limited to just 200 units.

Based on the 750S, it features a 788 hp twin-turbo V8, 800 Nm of torque, accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in around 2.8 seconds, and reaches a top speed of 330 km/h.

Weight reduction, revised suspension, new aerodynamic components and a titanium exhaust system were all developed to deliver a driving experience even closer to that of a racing car.

Bentley Supersports by Mulliner

Bentley used Goodwood to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Supersports name, one of the most significant designations in the brand's history.

The exclusive Supersports by Mulliner features a bespoke paint finish, unique Mulliner styling details and a production run limited to 500 individually numbered examples.

Powered by 657 hp and 800 Nm of torque, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, combining luxury, exclusivity and outstanding performance in a very special commemorative edition.

Pagani Huayra 70th Derecho

Pagani brought one of its most exclusive creations to Goodwood.

The Huayra Codalunga Speedster "70th Derecho" is a one-off, created specifically to celebrate the 70th birthday of a Pagani client.

Powered by an 864 hp AMG twin-turbo V12 producing 1,100 Nm of torque, it is paired with a rare seven-speed gated manual gearbox and reaches a top speed of 350 km/h.

Inspired by 1960s racing cars, it combines an elegant long-tail body with an exceptional level of handcrafted personalization.

Apollo EVO "Caribbean Dragon"

The Apollo EVO "Caribbean Dragon" is another one-of-a-kind model showcased during the festival.

Built for a private client, it stands out thanks to its bespoke paintwork inspired by Asian culture, extensive carbon-fibre components and an aerodynamic package designed to maximize performance.

The hypercar produces 800 hp, accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in around 2.7 seconds and reaches a top speed of 335 km/h.

Bugatti Bolide

Originally designed exclusively for track use, the Bugatti Bolide appeared at Goodwood in a road-legal configuration.

The hypercar retains its iconic 1,600 hp quad-turbocharged W16 engine and virtually all of the extreme aerodynamics of the original model, requiring only the modifications necessary to meet road-legal regulations while remaining capable of speeds exceeding 450 km/h.

Hennessey Venom F5-M

Hennessey chose Goodwood to publicly debut the new Venom F5-M, powered by a 2,031 hp twin-turbo V8 and paired with a rare six-speed manual gearbox, making it, according to the company, the world's most powerful manual-transmission hypercar.

Audi Nuvolari

Another model showcased at the festival was the new Audi Nuvolari, a hybrid supercar powered by a twin-turbo V8 and three electric motors, delivering a combined 1,001 hp.

The model pays tribute to legendary racing driver Tazio Nuvolari and represents a new generation of flagship performance cars from the German manufacturer.

The Goodwood Festival of Speed continues to establish itself as one of the world's most important automotive events. Every year, manufacturers use this stage to unveil new technologies, exclusive hypercars and vehicles that preview the future of the automotive industry, making the festival a must-see event for every car enthusiast.
