Goodwood line-up

-

Aston Martin will be taking the Goodwood Festival of Speed by storm in 2018, with eight cars confirmed to take on the world-renowned hillclimb.

Aston Martin’s new flagship Super GT, the DBS Superlegge­ra, the Rapide AMR and the V12 Vantage V600 will all appear as well as all three members of the DB11 family, with the V8 and the Volante joined by the latest, range-topping DB11 AMR in the Supercar Paddock.

Sitting alongside them will be the striking new Vantage with its 510PS, twinturbo V8. All of the current production car range will also be in action from Thursday to Sunday, tackling the Birdless Grove as they climb through the final turns of the hillclimb.

In addition to Aston Martin’s renowned sportscar range, Aston Martin Racing will also be bringing its latest Vantage GTE to the Goodwood hill, fresh from the 2018 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Finally, the wildest model the company has ever produced, the Aston Martin Vulcan AMR Pro, will be taking part in the timed runs up the hill, driven by Aston Martin Racing veteran Darren Turner.
