Goodwood Top Ten

Goodwood will also see a UK debut of the hottest Vauxhall Insignia yet – the beefy VXR version! Beneath the agressive bodywork lies a 321bhp 2.8-litre turbocharged V6, which drives all four wheels. Zero to 60mph takes 5.8 seconds – just four tenths down on the 328bhp supercharged Audi S4 – while the top speed is limited to 155mph. It's available in saloon, hatch and estate trim.

It's the mightiest Zonda ever with a 750bhp 6.0-litre V12 engine and six-speed paddle-shift sequential race transmission. Zero to 62mph takes just 2.7 seconds from 0-62mph, while the top speed is 220mph. Customers can have their Zonda R calibrated to a range of power outputs they desire via the latest generation onboard software too!

Honouring Stirling Moss' famous Mille Miglia-winning 300 SLR, this last-of-the-line incarnation of the McLaren-Mercedes supercar has no windscreen or roof and a retro-inspired carbon body. Power comes from the same 641bhp supercharged V8 as the outgoing SLR and SLR Roadster. Only 75 will be made, each costing £591,000.

With an uprated 4.3-litre V8 engine producing a staggering 510bhp at 8,500rpm, the open-top Scuderia 16M Spider can hit a top speed of almost 200mph and sprint from 0-62mph in only 3.7 seconds. It's fitted with a six-speed F1 inspired sequential manual gearbox and e-diff traction control system. Only 499 examples will be made.

Morgan's new Aero Super Sports is a limited-edition roadster that packs a 400bhp BMW-sourced 4.8-litre V8 and a six-speed manual transmission. It gets a two-panel removable roof, giving owners the choice of a hardtop or a full convertible. Expect a price tag of around £130,000.

Following a star turn at last year's event, the Veyron is back at Goodwood – this time in drop-top Grand Sport trim. Thanks to a neat removable roof, it'll certainly offer lucky buyers a wind-in-the-hair experience. Power comes from the same 987bhp 8.0-litre W16 engine as the coupe so expect a 240mph-plus top speed. Other new details include incredible LED lights at the front.

You'll be able to get your best look yet at Audi's MINI rival at Goodwood – the German firm will have its A1 concept car at the event, which is based on the latest VW Polo. The concept gets a hybrid, four-wheel-drive powertrain thanks to a turbocharged 150bhp 1.4-litre petrol engine and a 41bhp electric motor which drives the rear wheels. Sales will start in 2010. 

It's the four-door 911 – and you'll be able to see it in the flesh at this year's Festival of Speed. Porsche will be showing off the Panamera S at the event which is powered by a 405bhp 4.8-litre V8 engine. At 17cm longer than a Cayenne it should offer lots of legroom! Other highlghts to look out for include the huge pop-up rear wing and hugely luxurious cabin.

It's been a long time coming – but the wraps will finally be lifted on Lexus' hypercar this year. And to give us a taste of what to expect, Toyota's luxury arm will be bringing this race version to Goodwood, which is powered by a 550bhp 4.8-litre V10. Boasting a top speed in excess of  218mph, it's one fast car. Just 500 cars will be built, with flagship versions costing £190,000.

The pinnacle of the Vantage range, the mighty V12 has the same 6.0-litre unit as the DBS. With   510bhp and 570Nm of torque it can do 0-60mph in 4.2 seconds and hit a top speed of 190mph. Plus, it sounds spectacular. But that's not it – carbon ceramic brakes and stiffened sports suspension make this one of the best Aston Martins ever.
