Goodwood Festival of Speed

The Goodwood Festival of Speed is primarily about old cars thrashing up a country house's driveway.

But that hasn't deterred some of the world's most exclusive car makers from hijacking the event to launch their latest machinery.

At this year's Festival of Speed, which takes place on June 22-24, we'll see the 342mph Acabion GTBO for the first time in the UK.

Alongside the missile-styled Acabion will be the Bristol Fighter, which is the most powerful current production car thanks to its 1,012bhp 8.0-litre V10 engine.

We can also look forward to the launch of the Maserati Gran Turismo, Mercedes McLaren SLR Roadster and Caparo T1 putting in appearances.

British motorsport fans will also be treated to seeing all four current Brit Formula One drivers in the same place, at the same time, which is not always the case during F1 races.

The quartet is complete with the announcement that Lewis Hamilton will be at Goodwood alongside David Coulthard, Jenson Button and Anthony Davidson.
