The Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard is the stage for countless reveals and dynamic debuts of the very latest cars. From established names to those fresh to the automotive scene, you can see plethora of new models in the metal for yourself over at the First Glance Paddock.

Jaguar’s Type 01 is one such car making its highly anticipated debut at Goodwood. The prototype that has caused quite a stir will be on display and in action up the Hill, as has the much-awaited Renault Turbo 3E, a reimagining of the spirit of the Turbo and Turbo 2 that were icons of the 1980s.

Familiar names including Porsche, Bentley and Honda have each brought multiple new cars with them to be tested on the Hill, from the Porsche Taycan and Cayenne Electric to the Bentley Flying Spur and Honda Prelude HRC Concept and Super N. Electric power is a dominant theme in the First Glance Paddock this year.
