After two decades, the Goodwood Festival of Speed hillclimb record has fallen. It did so not to a thunderous combustion engine, but the near-silent whirring of an all-electric, purpose-built machine.

Porsche has given its 911 RSR a thorough remodel to prepare it for a WEC title defense next year. The German marque showed off its new GTE contender at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend, and one of the chief updates involves a new, more powerful heart.

De Tomaso returned at the Goodwood Festival of Speed earlier this week with this, the P72. The limited-run supercar pays homage to an obscure part of the brand’s history, going old-school in a surprising way: with three pedals.

Ford has sharpened up its GT supercar and unveiled a new track-focused variant at the 2019 Goodwood Festival of Speed. The new GT “Mk II” is the result of development between Ford Performance and Multimatic, who developed the Le Mans-winning GTE race car.

It’s not often that an automotive brand racks up the big 1-0-0, and you’d expect them to make a bit of a fuss about it. Bentley, which has a pretty spectacular history aside, is quite rightly taking every opportunity as it builds up to the big day next month.

As one Ford GT says goodbye — the racer that just wrapped up its program at Le Mans — another Ford GT looks set to say hello. And it’ll do so close to where the first GT40 was built, at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in Britain.

Over half a year after it initially revealed the new Shelby GT500, Ford has finally confirmed the all-important numbers for its pumped-up pony car. How’s 760hp and 625lbft sound?

Fans of high-revving naturally-aspirated engines, rejoice. The Porsche Cayman GT4 is returning to the road, eschewing the rest of the line’s turbo flat-fours — and it’s bringing an open-top Spyder with it.

Aston Martin has become the first manufacturer to reveal its Le Mans “hypercar”, under the new rules for 2020-2021.

After around two years on the market, the reborn Alpine A110 now has a new, higher-performing model. Meet the new A110S.

Car enthusiasts like to stand out from the crowd. Nobody buys a shouty sports car to blend in — one only has to look at the garish colors you can choose for your 911 GT3 RS to see the evidence of that.

Bentley has taken the wraps off its latest W12-powered limo, the from-the-ground-up redesigned Flying Spur.

Mercedes-AMG isn’t quite ready to reveal its ultra-hot A45 hatch, or its coupe-style sibling the CLA45, just yet, but it has unveiled its engine.

Although it’s no longer the fastest, quickest or most powerful car in the world, for many the McLaren F1 is still the best.

When Volkswagen sent the ID R electric racer up Pikes Peak and dismantled the all-time record, it seemed like it’d be a one-off. After all, Volkswagen had built the car with the specific aim of beating the electric record for the climb.

Cadillac took the wraps off two new cars late last night. The CT4-V and CT5-V both represent the next step for the V performance series — and it’s an unexpected one.
