Infiniti Essence

Infiniti, the luxury car make from Japan, will be showcasing the Infiniti Essence at the 2009 Goodwood Festival of Speed. The Essence was created to celebrate the 20 year history of Infiniti as a creator of luxury high performance cars. This dramatic design is a 600PS petrol/electric hybrid coupe with rear wheel drive and offers a dramatic design, technology and outstanding performance.

Infiniti G37

The Essence will be joined by the new V6 powered G37 Convertible in right hand drive form, the first example ever produced. The G37 comes in two guises with both featuring a metal three piece folding roof. The G37 looks as good with top up as it does down and comes in two models.

Insignia VXR

Vauxhall are showcasing their new 325 horsepower Insignia VXR at the Goodwood Festival of Speed which runs from the 3rd to the 5th July. This new car from Vauxhall will demonstrate its exceptional Adaptive 4×4 chassis, twice a day on Goodwood’s notoriously tricky hillclimb course.

VXR8 Bathurst S

Vauxhall will also be showing a number of other supercars including the supercharged, rear wheel drive 6.2-litre VXR8 Bathurst S Edition, which will be their most powerful production car ever.  Joining this will also be the radical SRV which was first shown at the 1970 Earls Court Motor Show. This SRV had an aerofoil, electric self-levelling suspension and a “manometer” to measure air pressure on the car’s hull and demonstrated how forward thinking Vauxhall was at the time.
