The annual Sussex-based motor show is back with a BMW M-themed central sculpture
The Goodwood Festival of Speed returns this year and we’re expecting the event to be as jam-packed as ever, with a plethora of reveals and debuts on the cards.
The event, which runs from Thursday 23 June to Sunday 26 June, will give us a first look at some of 2022’s most exciting cars and showcase the huge diversity of today’s car parc.
Here’s our guide to the festival’s biggest unveilings.
We’ve still not officially seen the long-awaited, estate-bodied BMW M3 Touring, but the German car maker has confirmed that the car will make an appearance at this year’s Festival of Speed as part of the 50th anniversary of its M performance division. It will feature the same turbocharged six-cylinder petrol engine as the M3 saloon which boasts 473bhp – or 503bhp in top-flight Competition form – and will therefore be one of the most potent and fastest estate cars in the world.
The M3 Touring isn’t the only highly anticipated performance model expected from the German brand. The limited-run BMW M4 CSL will also take to the German firm’s stand, showing off its stripped-back mechanicals and pumped-up powertrain. With 542bhp and 479lb ft, it’s the most powerful BMW M3 or M4 model ever built, and arrives exactly 50 years after the legendary 3.0 CSL was launched.
Fisker Ocean
Following a public debut in Barcelona back in February, the electric Fisker Ocean SUV will rival the Audi Q4 E-tron and BMW iX3 when it goes on sale from the end of 2023. Fisker claims a range of up to 350 miles with a 0-62mph sprint of 3.6sec in its most powerful guise.
BMW M4 CSL
Touted as a Formula 1 car for the road, the 1049bhp Mercedes-AMG One is propelled by a turbocharged 1.6-litre grand prix engine mated to four electric motors. It’s the firm’s fastest ever production car with a top speed of 219mph, overtaking the 214mph Mercedes CLK GTR from 24 years ago. Could we see it on display in West Sussex?
Porsche Cayman GT4 E-Performance
Another phonemically powerful electric racer, the Porsche Cayman GT4 E-Performance produces a staggering 1072bhp from four electric motors. It’s based on the chassis of a Porsche Cayman GT4 RS, with other parts sourced from the Porsche 911 RSR GTE.
Ford Ranger Raptor
The new Ford Ranger Raptor has received a huge power boost, with the 2.0-litre turbocharged diesel engine in the previous model being replaced by a powerful 3.0-litre petrol V6. Power now stands at 284bhp and 362lb ft, while it has also received an extensive redesign heavily influenced by the US-only Ford F-150 Raptor.
Porsche 911 Sport Classic
The Porsche 911 Classic is the latest revival into the firm’s heritage design collection, with retro design cues which pay homage to one of the company’s most famous and history models – the 1972 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7. Its appearance at Goodwood will be an international public premiere.
Mercedes-AMG One
Touted as a Formula 1 car for the road, the 1049bhp Mercedes-AMG One is propelled by a turbocharged 1.6-litre grand prix engine mated to four electric motors. It’s the firm’s fastest ever production car with a top speed of 219mph, overtaking the 214mph Mercedes CLK GTR from 24 years ago. Could we see it on display in West Sussex?
