Mercedes at 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed – includes SLS AMG Black Series debut

In case you hadn’t noticed, it’s the Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend and car makers are out in force with their fastest supercars and classics. Mercedes always offer a decent show at Goodwood and this year is no different, with the UK dynamic debut for the Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series, which will be strutting its stuff all weekend up the hillclimb.

At the other end of the performance range, the Mercedes A45 AMG is also in action showing the crowds just what 360bhp in a compact hatch can do with its runs up the hillclimb.

But it’s not just modern performance stuff on offer, with plenty of classic Mercedes in action too, like  300 SLR ‘Uhlenhaut Coupé’, driven by journalist Andrew Frankel, as well as the 1910 Benz 21/80 ‘Prinz Heinrich’ and the W 154 Silver Arrow.

Mercedes’ stand has all the latest Mercedes cars on show, including the CLA 45 AMG, the C 63 AMG 307 Edition, the new S-Class and even the SLS AMG Electric Drive.

As the weekend rolls on both Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg will take to the hillclimb in a modern F1 car.

If you’re at Goodwood – have fun. If you’re not, we empathise – some of us have been left behind to hold the fort.
