13 Killer Supercars from the 2015 Goodwood Festival of Speed - Automobile
Goodwood welcomes roughly 150,000 spectators who spread out like locusts over the grounds of host Lord March’s Goodwood estate during the weekend. And just about every car in attendance, from the flame-spitting Fiat “Beast of Turin” from 1910 to the Ferrari LaFerrari FXX K , from the all-new Mazda MX-5 to Ken Block’s 845-hp Hoonicorn , along with Formula 1 cars, jet-powered motorcycles,... Some of them crash, and a couple, including a privately owned Mazda 787B series Le Mans car and a Lamborghini Huracan GT3 took huge hits. This year’s title sponsor was Mazda, and it brought along several of its all-time great race cars, including the famed No. 55 Mazda 787B that was victorious at the 1991 24 Hours of Le Mans, among others. The sculpture centerpiece was a massive, 120-ton steel, 130-foot-tall masterpiece by Goodwood resident artist Gerry Judah that featured a 787 and the Mazda Vision Gran Turismo fiberglass model topping the winding sculpture off. While we get to see supercars of all types at various auto shows and other events, this year it seemed every car shown over the past year or two came to Goodwood, with most corralled in the Supercar Paddock.
