Every Performance Car Debuting At Goodwood Festival Of Speed 2026—The Full List
Goodwood Festival of Speed 2026 is live this week, and the Duke of Richmond’s driveway is packed with some of the most significant performance debuts of the year. From a gated manual hypercar pushing past 2,000 horsepower to a V10 hypercar making its first dynamic appearance with Adrian Newey at the wheel, the hill is delivering exactly what performance enthusiasts come here for.
The event has become the calendar’s most concentrated single-week reveal window for halo trims, sports cars, and low-volume exotics—and 2026 is no exception. Here’s every confirmed performance debut happening at Goodwood right now, organized by what matters most.
The Headliners: Manual Hypercars And A V10 Making Noise
The Hennessey Venom F5-M is making its production debut at Goodwood, and it arrives with a claim no other car on the hill can match: it’s the world’s most powerful manual hypercar, with a gated shifter and more than 2,000 horsepower on tap. That combination—a proper three-pedal setup in a car with this kind of output—is genuinely rare, and Goodwood is where it’s being shown in production form for the first time.
Also turning heads is the Red Bull RB17, the V10-powered hypercar that Adrian Newey designed before leaving the F1 team. Newey and other drivers are taking it up the hill this week—the first time the RB17 has been driven publicly. For anyone who has followed Newey’s career across decades of championship-winning F1 machinery, watching him pilot his own road-going creation at Goodwood carries real weight.
Hypercar Power: The Zenvo Aurora Tur Reveals Its Final Form
Zenvo is using Goodwood to show the production specification of the Aurora Tur, and the powertrain is the story. It’s driven by a 6.6-liter quad-turbocharged V12—a configuration that puts it in contention for the most powerful V12 hypercar in production. The Aurora Tur has been teased for some time, but Goodwood marks the first time the car’s final production form has been shown publicly. For the hypercar segment, a quad-turbo V12 in a confirmed production vehicle is a significant moment.
Sports Cars: The Automobili Mignatta Rina Coupe Brings Back The Manual
On the smaller, more niche end of the spectrum, Italian manufacturer Automobili Mignatta is debuting the Rina Coupe at Goodwood — a closed-roof version of the roofless Rina roadster that already exists, paired with a six-speed manual transmission. It’s the kind of car Ferrari won’t build: a focused, lightweight Italian sports car with a proper stick shift. The coupe body is new, and the manual gearbox makes it the more complete driver’s package of the two Rina variants. For enthusiasts who have been watching the small Italian sports car scene, this is one of the more interesting reveals of the week.
Electric Power: 1,500-Horsepower Supercars Join The Hill
Goodwood 2026 is also hosting a wave of high-output electric supercars, with at least one confirmed debut producing 1,500 horsepower. The event has increasingly become a proving ground for electric performance machinery—the hill run format suits instant-torque powertrains, and manufacturers are using the platform to demonstrate real-world performance rather than just static displays. Specific model names and full specs for the EV debuts were still being confirmed as of this writing; check the sources below for the latest updates as the week progresses.
Gordon Murray Automotive Arrives In Force
Gordon Murray Automotive is bringing its full hypercar lineup to Goodwood, with all four GMA models powered by high-revving naturally aspirated V12 engines built by Cosworth. The GMA presence at this year’s event is significant in scale—four cars, all sharing the same NA V12 philosophy, representing one of the last committed holdouts against forced induction in the hypercar segment. For anyone who values the sound and character of a free-breathing twelve-cylinder at full chat, the GMA contingent on the hill is worth paying attention to.
What Else Is On The Hill This Week
Beyond the headline acts, Goodwood 2026 is also seeing a notable push from Chinese manufacturers. BYD, MG, and Chery are all represented in the festival lineup—a sign of how quickly Chinese performance and sports car entries have moved from trade-show curiosities to Goodwood-level debuts. Hybrid race cars and new concepts are also part of the mix, rounding out what is shaping up as one of the broadest single-week performance reveal slates in the event’s recent history. The full confirmed list continues to grow as the week unfolds; Motor1’s live catalog is the most complete running record of every debut as it happens.
Goodwood 2026 is mid-run and still delivering. Whether it’s the Venom F5-M’s gated manual, Newey’s V10 RB17 finally in motion, or the Zenvo’s quad-turbo V12 in production trim, this week’s hill is a genuine showcase for what performance cars look like in 2026—combustion, electric, and everything in between.
