Record Supercar Debuts For Goodwood

2011 Festival of Speed will play host to more supercar debutantes than ever before



Goodwood has revealed a record number of UK dynamic debuts for its Supercar Run at this year's festival of speed on 1-3 July.

Among the British premiers will be the Ferrari FF, the Lamborghini Aventador, Marussia B1 and Hulme CanAm Spyder. Other confirmed attendees include the Jaguar XKR-S, Pagani Huayra, GTA Spano,Hennessy Venom GT, Koenigsegg Agera R, the six-wheeled Covini C6, and the production version of the McLaren MP4-12C.


Outside of the supercar arena, Goodwood will also host the (dynamic) world debut of the Honda CR-Z Mugen, Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari and Porsche Panamera Turbo S.

And if that doesn't wet your whistle, don't forget that the Festival of Speed is also a first-class chance to get up close and personal with the greatest cars and drivers from all walks of motorsport, both past and present.

Not going to make it this year as I'll be at the Henley Regatta. Looks a good line-up!

Has someone dug up Fangio?

FOS has been on my "to do" list since I first heard of it.

As far as the line up, the Can-Am Spyder doesn't really count as a supercar. It actually doesn't even count as a car- it's a sport bike with two front wheels. Are they new in the UK? Been on the roads here for a couple of years; look like great fun!

The Hulme CanAm Spyder is not the same as the Can-Am Spyder you are thinking of. the one you are thinking of is made by Bombardier and is available in the UK although not readily as they are still very rare.

The Hulme CanAm Spyder is something totally different
