We had been watching for some time the juiciest news that will make its debut in the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2023 that we wanted to select a top car for you. From the supercars on duty to the most powerful and innovative electric vehicles, this is the list of the most anticipated cars that will be seen at the festival.
Bentley Batur
In the year that Bentley says goodbye to the W12 engine, the Bentley Batur arrives with its future and unique 18 units to conquer Goodwood. Remember that the Batur will be the last in the saga with this engine and that the precious units are manufactured by hand by the Bentley-Mulliner duo.
bmw 5 series
Recently presented and with a sales target of 2024, the popular BMW series will be present at Goodwood. It may be the most common of all the vehicles that we will see at the festival, but a 5 Series is always a reason to look and admire. He BMW 5 Series 2024 It is the sixth generation of the brand’s large sedan, one of its most representative models that has been on the market since 1972. It will arrive with very important innovations and even with an electric variant: the BMW i5. It has a starting price of 60,050 euros and is already accepting reservations.
Ferrari KC23
This has to be on the list yes or yes. Recently announced, the Ferrari KC23 that starts from the Ferrari 488 GT3 is ready for its most radical and extreme version to roll around Goodwood. The Cavallino One-off project has been one of the most anticipated and photographed models, not only because of its lines capable of adapting to the terrain, but also because it is the last of the most exclusive models that join the list of unique Ferrari units.
Kia EV9
Last June we were able to meet the new Kia SUV, a 100% electric with a very ambitious road ahead. In the contact test we could see its more cubist aesthetic, almost all-terrain classic; we could see its technological and spacious interior and of course, its engine. Initially the Kia EV9 arrives in Spain with a single version. With all-wheel drive, with two motors, one per axle, each with 192 CV to have up to 384 hp total combined power and no less than 600 Nm of torque, which reaches 700 Nm if the Boost function is activated.
Eccentric Devil
The prototype resto-mod based on the original Diablo from the 90s also stood out above the rest at the Festival. The concept, which is the sum of the ideas of the Borromeodesilva design firm, a large team of engineers and the occasional brand such as Pirelli, Brembo, Marantz, Capristo and Alcantara, takes us back in time in a tribute to the 90s but It suddenly moves into the future with the new design of its bodywork and interiors.
Obviously, the original modified 5.7-liter V12 engine with 550 hp at 7,000 rpm and maximum torque of 600 Nm at 6,5000 rpm will also give a lot to talk about among the attendees.
Caterham Project V
Caterham’s idea of radicalism will not be lacking at Goodwood. The Project V, that 100% conceptual SUV coupe that we have seen recently will also do its thing with its 272 hp rear engine. Let’s remember the 1,190 kg of weight and its autonomy of 400 km. The design of the Project V is in the hands of Italdesign and in the first reports we were struck by its 2+1 cabin surrounded by a high degree of technology and driving aids.
McLaren Solus GT
It is true that we also saw the 750 S with its twin-turbo V8 engine, but we will see more looks at the Solus GT. As if it had come off the TV screen when playing Gran Turismo, the 840 hp V10 engine and its 618 Nm of torque signed a moment at Goodwood.
Renault R5 Turbo 3E
Not everything was going to be super sports cars and sedans, right? Possibly the most anticipated electric of the festival and of our hearts. The Renault R5 Turbo 3E is the follow-up to the 1980s R5 Turbo and R5 Turbo 2 production models, built on a tubular chassis with FIA-approved roll bars. However, as the letter “E” in the name indicates, this one is completely electric. While the diamond firm’s engineers could have made it incredibly powerful, they chose to opt for more modest 380bhp and 700Nm figures thanks to a set of motors that mount, as you might guess, to each of the rear wheels.
Alpine A110 R and A290β
Bonus track for Alpine that will have two stellar moments. The first with the R version of its A110 and the second with the conceptual A290 Beta hot hatchback. In both cases, very limited and very striking units that will seal the passage of the French brand through the festival of speed.
