This year's Goodwood Festival of Speed theme is ‘Horseless to Hybrid’, celebrating 130 years of technological progress. The central sculpture even carries an electric car for the first time, as MG celebrates its centenary with the new Cyberster.
Highlights of the event so far include oh-so sensible Polestar building a track car concept, an energy drink company showcasing a hypercar and China's oldest car maker announcing that it is coming to the UK.

Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale
Alfa Romeo's final combustion supercar is the head-turning 33 Stradale, so named because only 33 examples will ever be built.
It's offered with a choice of either electric or combustion powertrains, the latter being an updated version of the 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 from the Giulia Quadrifoglio.

Alfa Romeo Junior
Alfa Romeo's first mainstream EV is the Junior (née Milano), a small crossover that's promised to be the best driver's car in its class.
Entry-level Juniors put out 154bhp, while the top-rung Junior Veloce is boosted to 278bhp. There's also a 1.2-litre petrol-electric option with 134bhp.

Alpine A290
In true hot hatch tradition, the Renault 5-based Alpine A290 borrows the powerplant from its bigger sibling, the Renault Mégane E-Tech. With 215bhp and a series of chassis tweaks, it aims to prove that EVs can be fun to drive.

Alpine Alpenglow Hy4
This rakish supercar could be one of the more important projects in Alpine’s history. It’s powered by a fairly conventional turbocharged four-cylinder engine with one key difference – it burns hydrogen, rather than petrol. Company executives have hinted that it could make production.

Aston Martin Valiant

Are we suggesting cars should be smaller?, yeah, that right, a silly suggestion,cars are bigger because life has moved on , we do more,we need vehicles that can be family or utility, we're going EV which means transport is bigger heavier, 21st Century design might not suit some of us,so just buy something older,can't see many wanting a 1970's five series,just wouldn't cut it now for instance,I guess you like what you like.
Can't wait to miss the Goodwood Festival of BMW.
Wow, look how dainty that '91 5 series is next to the bloated and ugly current version.
My thoughts exactly.
