The 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed was unique because the organizers canceled the event on Saturday due to the extremely rainy weather. This gave the racers less opportunity to prepare for the Supercar Shootout on the hill climb. Nothing beat the McMurtry Speirling’s record-setting time from last year, but this year’s competition was incredibly close.
This year’s fastest vehicles include many race cars, including modern and classic examples, the one-off Subaru GL Family Huckster, and a couple of modern supercars. No matter what flavor of high-performance machines you like, there’s something here to enjoy.

The McLaren Solus GT did not beat Speirling’s record of 39.08 seconds from last year. However, it surpassed the time of the Porsche 718 GT4 ePerformance, which was 45.50 seconds in 2022.
Last year, four electric vehicles were among the top ten fastest cars in the Supercar Shootout: the Speirling, 718 GT4 ePerformance, Ford SuperVan, and First Corner FC1X. The Rimac Nevera was the only electric vehicle to make the list in 2023. Rimac is even celebrating its time of 49.32 seconds as the best ever for a production-spec EV.
