Look at that goofy thing, the Aston Marin Cygnet V8. Of all the silly and hare-brained ideas, this has to be one of the silliest and most hare-brained. It’s hilarious to look at outside, hilarious to think about and, as it turns out, also hilarious to drive.
The Porsche 911 Speedster Concept, which we saw in June, was a lovely 70th birthday present Porsche gave itself to honor the design of the Porsche 356 Speedsters. The photos were awesome to look at on their own, but this deeper dive video was also extremely necessary.
Remember when we told you about how Singer, the gloriously OCD re-makers of Porsche 911s into incredible works of automotive art, teamed up with Williams to design an all-new 500 horsepower, naturally-aspirated air-cooled flat-six engine? Sure you do. Now you should just sit back and listen to it as it flings around…
Brabham’s return to the track is, categorically, A Good Thing. It returns a legendary marque to where it belongs, and it means there’s another uncompromisingly rapid car in the world. The BT62, Brabham’s 700 horsepower track-only megacar, will set you back $morethanyoucanafford and is basically a racing car. But…
With some fanfare, Siemens announced earlier this month that it’d be attacking the Goodwood Hillclimb with an autonomous 1965 Ford Mustang. It went poorly. We finally have some explanations as to why.
Terry Grant, a stunt driver who’s more than a little familiar with the Goodwood Festival of Speed, had already crashed out once this year trying to do the Hillclimb on two wheels. But then, later that day, he tried again.
Last year at Goodwood, British rallycross driver Pat Doran ate it in a Ford RS200. This year Pat Doran’s son Liam suffered a similar misfortune, also in an RS200, though this time the trouble was less eating it than getting pantsed.
The lightweight McLaren Senna supercar made a run up the Goodwood hill this weekend with Bruno Senna at the wheel. The nephew of Formula One’s perhaps most iconic driver, former F1 driver in his own right, and 2017 FIA WEC LMP2 world champion, the 34-year-old Senna is also a McLaren factory development driver and…
Like a getaway scene in an old school Brit bank heist film, Grant Williams drives his 1959 Jaguar Mk1 sedan racer at full tilt and only half in control. It’s well known that drifting and sliding is rarely the fastest way to negotiate a circuit, but at Goodwood you’re rewarded for being memorable. If Grant had simply…
Aston Martin stuffed a V8 engine into its cute little Cygnet city car as a one-off commission project for a person who has a better imagination and bigger wallet than any of us, and it’s like a wasp in car form—miniature in size but terrifying enough to send full-grown adults running in the opposite direction.
The Honda Mean Mower V2 is powered by a 189-horsepower engine out of a CBR1000RR Fireblade. It can top 150 mph. It can cut grass. And here it is at the Goodwood Festival of Speed hooning up a British aristocrat’s driveway like a bat out of hell.
The car from Roborace, an upcoming autonomous, electric series, successfully ran the Goodwood Festival of Speed hillclimb without ramming nearby objects. The same cannot be said for the autonomous 1965 Ford Mustang that attempted Goodwood, perhaps scientifically proving that Mustangs will be Mustangs.
While the exact source of Mad Mike Whiddett’s rage remains unclear, we now have definitive proof that his hood wants no part of it.
Siemens worked out a way for autonomous car to suck even more fun out of driving by developing a self-driving system that could be fitted to classic cars, like the 1965 Ford Mustang it ran at the Goodwood Hillclimb today. It’s too bad for them that the system sucked.
I don’t know what kind of world you live in. Probably a garbage one. But in the world that Vincent Foucart inhabits, it makes sense to make a triple-rotary swapped mid-engine Peugeot 205 for your rally car campaigns.
The new Toyota Supra made its “world debut” on Thursday at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, once again reminding us that we still don’t know a lot about the car and that Toyota likes it that way. We haven’t even seen it, really.
The 2018 Goodwood Festival of Speed, that wondrous celebration of all things motoring, officially sets off today, and you can watch it live from our friendly Facebook page.
You may not remember the rumors that Aston Martin was going to shove a V12 into its infamous Cygnet city car, but you’re never going to forget that they went ahead and shoved a naturally aspirated V8 in there instead despite the car being dead for over five years.
After a decade-and-a-half of waiting and years of taunting and teasing, we’re finally going to see the production version of the new Toyota Supra next week at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
The dog bone-looking thing you see above is the self-driving race car from Roborace, the world’s first driverless racing series. It is bringing the Robocar to the 2018 Goodwood Festival of Speed to attempt the first-ever fully autonomous hillclimb.
