The 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed is under way (9-12 July), and it's an absolute bumper year for one of the highlights in the motoring calendar.
Some of the world’s most anticipated new cars have descended on West Sussex, offering a first chance to see them up close – and in action.
Among the highlights are the Toyota GR GT, the Alpine A110 Future – a test mule giving an initial glimpse at the sports car’s electric reinvention – and Gordon Murray's dramatic S1 LM, along with plenty of others.
Read on for our guide to all the highlights and new cars at this year’s Festival of Speed.
Alpine A110 Future
This is your first glimpse at the next-generation Alpine A110, which is making the landmark switch to electric power. Although it wears similar bodywork to the outgoing petrol A110, it's underpinned by the new EV’s platform, hinting at big changes. Just check out those wide wheel arches.

Audi Nuvolari
Audi's new flagship is a limited-run 987bhp hybrid supercar – and its striking design will influence the brand's less extreme models to come. It's powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 and three electric motors, and it features active aerodynamics. Just 499 will be built.

Auto Union Lucca
We’ll forgive you any confusion over this car’s inclusion among all the new metal here, but it is technically brand new. This is Audi Tradition’s faithful recreation of a racer built by Auto Union, its precursor. Back in 1935, it was the world’s fastest road car, managing 203mph on a section of the Italian Autostrada near the city of Lucca. Sure, it’s not quite the 301mph done by the Campbell-Railton Blue Bird in September 1935, but that was on the Bonneville salt flats, not a road. This is your chance to witness a slice of V16-powered history.
Bentley Flying Spur facelift
Bentley’s luxury limousine has a fresh face, moving away from the long-established quad-headlight design in favour of two lights. The high-performance S variant returns, powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 and a single electric motor for 671bhp.

Bentley Supersports
The manifestation of Bentley’s push to create what CEO Frank-Steffen Walliser calls “more extreme” cars, the Supersports is a dramatically modified version of the Continental GT. It's the first rear-driven Continental of the modern era, and it ditches the hybrid hardware found in other GTs in favour of an unassisted twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8. It puts out 657bhp and, at just under 2000kg, is the lightest Bentley since 1940.
