Serving as a pre-event to the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the Moving Motor Show offers attendees the chance to get up close and personal with some of the latest and greatest new cars before they’re unveiled to the wider public.
Car Keys was on hand at this year’s Moving Motor Show, and as a result we put together this quick gallery of some of the coolest cars on display at the festival this weekend.
Alpine Vision Concept
Renault’s iconic sports car marque is due to make a return very soon, and the first look at what to expect from the newly-reborn Alpine is this: The Alpine Vision concept.
The production car’s final appearance and specs have yet to be confirmed, but Alpine has confirmed that the car will be powered by a four-cylinder turbo engine and will hit 0-62mph in under 4.5 seconds.
Volkswagen Golf GTi Clubsport S
Fresh from smashing the Nurburgring lap record for a front wheel drive car, this Golf GTi Clubsport S is officially the most powerful Golf GTi ever made and limited to only 400 models worldwide.
Modifications over the standard GTi are extensive, with the back seats removed to save weight and an ECU remap to bring maximum power up to 306bhp, meaning a 5.8 second 0-62mph time and a 165mph top speed.
Ford GT #67
One of four new GT racing cars that Ford took to this year’s Le Mans 24 Hours, #67 was piloted by a team which included British racing driver Marino Franchitti.
This year’s race was understandably significant for Ford, marking the 50th anniversary of the original GT40’s victory at Le Mans in 1966, but with the new GT Ford has reasserted its position at the top of GTE-class European endurance racing.
Chevrolet Camaro ZL-1
The meanest version of the new sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro yet, the ZL-1 proves that the muscle car is still alive and kicking with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 that snorts out a massive 640bhp.
Exact performance figures have yet to be released, but it’s generally believed that the ZL-1 will be able to plough its way from 0-62mph in under four seconds, with a top speed in excess of 165mph.
Shelby Super Snake
Speaking of mean muscle cars, the Shelby Super Snake is currently the most powerful production version of the new sixth-gen Mustang, a 750bhp that’s faster than a Lamborghini Aventador.
All that extra power comes courtesy of a Whipple supercharger and a Borla exhaust system, and the Super Snake can hit 62mph in a fraction over four seconds before powering on to a 186mph top speed.
Lamborghini Miura
Widely considered to be the world’s first true supercar, the gorgeous Bertone-designed Lamborghini Miura was introduced in 1966 and was the first production car to feature a mid-mounted engine.
Making it radically different in appearance and in handling to any road car that had come before, its 370bhp V12 engine could take it all the way to a then-radical 170mph, provided you were brave enough.
Ford Focus RS RX
First teased at the end of the latest Gymkhana 8 video, the Ford Focus RS RX is a specially-engineered version of the new Focus RS made for rallycross driver and YouTube hero Ken Block.
With an eyeball-searing paintjob courtesy of artist Felipe Pantone, the RS RX also features aggressive aero scoops and vents, while its 2.0-litre engine makes upwards of 600bhp and can take the car from 0-62mph in less than two seconds.
Nissan R33 Skyline GT-R Nismo 400R
Anybody who’s played the original Gran Turismo will instantly recognise this car, which was arguably the pinnacle of the R33 generation Nissan Skyline and one of the rarest special edition cars ever.
Engineered and built by Nissan’s motorsports division, the 400R made as much as 500bhp and could hit 62mph in just four seconds. Originally 100 were planned, but only 44 actually made it to production.
McLaren 650S GT3
The latest track-focused racer from McLaren GT, the 650S GT3 is based on the 650S supercar and has been designed specifically for optimum performance in GT3 racing series around the world.
Successor to the highly acclaimed 12C GT3, its 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 produces around 500bhp and the carbon fibre-intensive racing 650S is powerful enough to hit 62mph from a standstill in just three seconds.
Ferrari F12tdf
An ultra lightweight, hardcore version of the F12 Berlinetta, the F12tdf is perhaps the rawest modern Ferrari and also one of the quickest cars ever to leave the prancing horse’s stable.
Maximum output from the car’s 6.3-litre V12 clocks in at 769bhp, and it can accelerate as quickly as the million pound-plus LaFerrari hypercar, covering the 0-62mph sprint in just 2.9 seconds with a top speed north of 211mph.
Milltek Mustang GT
If you thought the standard Mustang GT was powerful enough, just wait until you see what British performance part manufacturer Milltek can do with it.
The company’s packages for the ‘Stang includes a supercharger kit and a big-bore exhaust which can raise the output to as much as 750bhp, rivalling the output of the Shelby Super Snake. And just look at that induction hose!
BMW Roy Lichenstein 320i CSL
BMW’s famous Art Car project was first introduced by French racing driver Hervé Poulain, who wanted to combine the worlds of art and automobiles by inviting artists to use cars as their canvasses.
The 1977 320i Turbo painted by iconic pop artist Roy Lichenstein was the third in the Art Car series, with the last official Art Car an M3 GTS designed by American artist Jeff Koons.
Bugatti Chiron
Saving potentially the best for last, the new Bugatti Chiron is the long-awaited follow-up to the legendary Veyron and inherits the Veyron’s title of the world’s most powerful, fastest and most exclusive supercar.
Capable of producing an absolutely monstrous 1,500 horsepower from its quad-turbocharged 8.0-litre W16 engine, its limited top speed of 261mph puts it head and shoulders above hypercar rivals like the LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and Porsche 918.
