Makes A-F at the 2011 Goodwood Festival of Speed
Alfa Romeo
After taking centre stage at last year’s event with its centenary celebrations, Alfa Romeo is back with a bang. This year will see the British debut of the stunning 4C concept shown in Geneva. Also on display will be hot Cloverleaf versions of the MiTo and Giulietta, as well as five cars from Alfa’s museum collection.
Aston Martin
Form an orderly queue – VIP guests will be offered passenger rides up the hill in the multi-million-pound One-77 and the new V12-powered Virage. Also wowing the crowds will be the V12 Zagato race car, driven by Aston’s design director, Marek Reichman.
Audi
The brand will be offering passenger rides up the hill in R8 V10 Coupés as part of the Moving Motor Show, and will have a range of new models and concepts on its stand. These include the R8 GT Spyder and Quattro concept. Also on show will be the Le Mans 24 Hours-winning R18 TDI, R10 TDI and Quattro S1 Group B rally car.
Bentley
Storming up the hill will be Bentley’s two newest models – the Continental GT, and its most powerful car ever, the 631bhp Continental Supersports Convertible ISR. The latter is a special edition to commemorate breaking the world ice speed record in February – and we’ll be clinging on when we tackle the hillclimb in it on Friday.
BMW
An icon is reborn on BMW’s stand this year as the M5 saloon makes its UK debut. Showgoers won’t be able to see it in action just yet, but with the Z4 GT3 racer and M3 GTS blasting up the hill, there should be plenty to see. Joining the M5 on the BMW pavilion will be Vernon Kay, Jake Humphrey and Murray Walker, who will all be available to sign autographs.
Chevrolet
The Camaro convertible and coupé muscle cars will be heading up the hillclimb, while Chevrolet’s new Aveo city car, and the hatch variant of the Cruze, will make their UK debuts on the brand’s stand.
Citroen
The French firm is set to inject some style into the Festival of Speed with the UK debut of its DS4. Whistling up the hillclimb will be the all-electric Survolt racer, while the DS3 R3 rally car roars into action on the forest rally stage. The DS3 Racing is also available for test drives during the Moving Motor Show on Thursday.
Ferrari
No celebration of fast cars would be complete without Ferrari. The four-door, four-seat FF will be on show for the first time in the UK, while the 458 Italia and 2009 F1 car will also be blasting around.
Fiat
Tuning arm Abarth is to display a range of models in the Moving Motor Show, including the 500 and 500C Abarth. The tuned Punto Evo will also be on the stand, alongside a display of all the upgrades offered by Abarth.
Ford
This year, Ford celebrates 100 years in Britain, and to mark the occasion it will be showcasing some of the most famous models from its history, including the Model T. Test drives of the all-new Focus are available as part of the Moving Motor Show.
