Audi Showcases Motorsport Legacy at Goodwood Festival of Speed 2023

Audi is set to commemorate its esteemed motorsport history at the renowned Goodwood Festival of Speed 2023. The highlight of the event will be the UK debut of the unique, all-electric Audi S1 e-tron quattro Hoonitron, driven by Le Mans legend, Tom Kristensen. As a tribute to the 100th year of Le Mans, Audi will also feature three iconic LMP cars: the R8, R10 TDI, and R18 e-tron quattro.

The Audi S1 e-tron quattro Hoonitron is a modern reinterpretation of the 1980s Audi Sport quattro S1, paying homage to the late motorsport legend Ken Block. This electric race car boasts a carbon fiber chassis and two motor-generator units that deliver an impressive total torque of 4,425 lb-ft, enabling high-speed drifts filled with adrenaline.

The Audi RS Q e-tron marks Audi’s ambitious entry into the challenging Dakar Rally, featuring an electric drivetrain and a motor-generator unit for on-the-go energy recharging. Furthermore, Audi’s significant Le Mans milestones will be celebrated with the R8, which achieved a historic hat-trick from 2000 to 2002; the R10 TDI, the first diesel-powered car to clinch overall victories from 2006 to 2008; and the R18 e-tron quattro, the pioneering diesel-hybrid that led Audi to a momentous 1-2-3 finish in 2012.

Lastly, Audi’s rally roots will be showcased with the legendary Audi Quattro Gr. 4 Rally Portugal, a game-changer in international rally sport, and the 200 quattro Rally Safari, which marked Audi’s triumphant exit from the world of rallying. This extraordinary lineup underscores Audi’s rich and diverse motorsport legacy, bringing the excitement of the track to the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2023.

Mazda CX-80: Spy Photos Show SUV Testing In Europe Before Launch

The upcoming Mazda CX-80 was recently spied testing in Europe, where it is set to be released later this year. The vehicle was heavily camouflaged, making it difficult to discern specific details about this three-row crossover. However, it seems to bear a resemblance to other models in Mazda’s lineup.

The CX-80 is essentially a three-row variant of the Mazda CX-60, sharing the same rear-wheel drive-based platform. Although it is challenging to determine with certainty, the CX-80 appears to have a slightly longer wheelbase and a larger window between the C and D pillars compared to the CX-60. Its side profile resembles the Mazda CX-70, featuring the familiar front-end styling found in other Mazda SUVs. Interestingly, from a distance, the camouflage creates an illusion reminiscent of the Rolls Royce Spectre.
