Goodwood Festival of Speed (2012) preview

The 2012 Goodwood Festival of Speed runs from Thursday 28 June - Sunday 1 July, as Lord March once again throws open the gates of Goodwood House to 150,000 petrolheads. Read on for CAR Magazine's preview of the 2012 Festival of Speed. It's set to be the largest-yet display and demonstration of classic and modern racing cars, world-class drivers, and exotic supercars.

Check out the 1,360-hp heart of the Koenigsegg One:1

The wild Koenigsegg One:1 showed up on our radars late last year before it appeared at the Geneva motor show in March. The latest piece of machinery from company founder--and Michael-Chiklis lookalike--Christian von Koenigsegg delivers one horsepower per kilogram, hence the name. That means 1,360 hp and 737 lb-ft of torque with a 3,000-pound curb weight.

Smart for-us

The latest addition to the Smart conceptual range is the for-us pickup, which follows on from the forspeed convertibe of Geneva, and the forvision hatchback that was unveiled Frankfurt, delivering another twist on the iconic city car platform. Despite the increase of size to 3547mm in length, traditional Smart iconography such as the tridon safety cell, three-spoke wheels and product-like execution – such as the inner lamp graphics – retain the brand identity. Squarer lamp and grille graphics and knobbly rocker surfacing add a twist of robustness.
