In today's fast-paced world, it’s perfectly understandable why some are finding static car shows a bit on the bland side. While the Goodwood Festival of Speed is not an auto show in the traditional sense of meaning, it is a great place to see classic and modern cars being driven up the famous hill.
With the event's popularity growing over the years, some automakers are choosing to unveil new products here. 2023 is no exception as we'll be witnessing some premieres. The event takes place over the course of four days, kicking off on July 13 and ending on July 16.
