McLaren W1
Fresh from a 1-2 finish at the British Grand Prix, McLaren is going to be celebrating its racing and road cars at Goodwood. The big attraction will be the new W1 hypercar, which will make its public debut alongside its forefathers: the legendary F1 and the almighty P1. It features a 1,258bhp hybrid V8 powertrain and Formula One-inspired aerodynamics, and just 399 examples will be made – but they’re all sold, so you can leave your cheque book at home.
Lanzante 95-59
Designed by Paul Howse (the man behind the McLaren P1), the 95-59 is a three-seat, 700bhp supercar set to wow the crowd at Goodwood. The name is derived from motorsport royalty, as Lanzante Motorsport won Le Mans in 1995 with the McLaren F1 GTR number 59 car.
MG Cyberster Black
MG went big at Goodwood last year with its new HS and Cyber GTS concept and we can expect more of the same this year. From previous teaser images we’ve seen the Cyberster Black will come with an all-black exterior, black cabin and black wheels – although we’ll have to wait to see if anything more substantial has changed for the all-electric roadster.
MG Cyber X concept
Shown for the first time at the Shanghai Motor Show back in April, the square-jawed MG Cyber X concept looks like a Land Rover Defender rival in the making. We’ve no clue if it’s any good off road or will ever reach production, but it has got pop-up headlights and some other interesting design details.
MG IM6 and IM5
MG will debut two mysterious, brand-new electric cars at Goodwood, which we’re pretty sure are the MG IM6 SUV and IM5 saloon that the brand recently launched in Australia. The pair will sit above the existing, value-focused EVs in MG’s line-up, and feature much more advanced technology to take on rivals from Tesla and BYD.
Porsche 963 RSP
There are some passion projects that really stand out and the 963 RSP is exactly that. Inspired by the one-off, road-legal version of the two-time Le Mans-winning Porsche 917 50 years ago, the 963 RSP will be a spectacular part of this year’s Festival of Speed. A mesmerising example of a race car for the road, the 963 RSP is almost identical to Porsche’s World Endurance Championship car, with a race-tuned, hybridised twin-turbocharged V8 with 671bhp and a rev limit of 8,000rpm.
Renault R5 Turbo 3E
Renault brought the R5 Turbo 3E concept to Goodwood two years ago and put on a wild, smoke-filled run up the hill. Now there’s a production version, heavily inspired by the original Renault 5 Turbo from the eighties. Even with a £135,000 price tag, it’s selling quickly – although with that crazy styling, 533bhp, rear-wheel drive and carbon-fibre body, it’s easy to see why.
