A legend in its own - relatively short - lifetime, this car was the first example built of the Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR Roadster, an even more exclusive, limited edition, open-topped variant of the already super-exclusive CLK GTR Coupé with which Mercedes-Benz had re-entered international sports car racing in 1997. At the time of its introduction the CLK GTR Roadster was the world's most expensive "production" car with a price tag of $1.5 million, a figure exceeded only recently by the Ferrari FXX. The 1998 Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR Roadster sold for £1,513,500 (US$2,381,512)

Aston Martin’s Vulcan was first seen in public at this year’s Geneva Motor Show, so the Festival of Speed represented the “dynamic” debut for the limited edition, track-only, carbon-fiber monocoque supercar. There aren’t too many numbers associated with this car that aren’t eye-watering. The 7.0-liter V12 produces more than 800 hp, it can run to 60 mph under the magic three second mark, tops 200 mph and because there will only be 24 made and sold, the exclusivity comes at a price because the development costs can be spread over fewer cars. That price is expected to be in the vicinity of £1.5 million ($2.3 million). This pic was taken at the Goodwood press conference for the new Aston Martin Vulcan.

Ford demonstrated the performance of the all-new Focus RS to the public for the first time at the 2015 Goodwood Festival of Speed, where World Rallycross star Ken Block tackled the hillclimb at the wheel of a prototype car. The Focus RS is the first Ford RS model equipped with selectable Drive Modes (including a Drift Mode that allows controlled oversteer drifts) and launch control. The 2.3-litre all-aluminium four-cylinder EcoBoost borrowed from the Ford Mustang has been significantly upgraded for the Focus RS to deliver 10 per cent more power with 350 PS maximum output.

You never know what's going to turn up at Bonham's Goodwood auction with a remarkable provenance and this year's sale saw Richard Hamilton's 1973 2.4-liter Porsche 911S coupé cross the block. Owned for more than 30 years by "father of pop art", the 911S sold for £393,500 (US$620,000). Hamilton thought that the car's shapely curves were a "perfect" design, so he purchased it new in 1973, and kept it for three decades.

Silver DB5 Aston Martins have always been popular thanks to James Bond, emphasized by the fact the 007 film car set an Aston Martin record at auction when it sold for £2,912,000 ($4,595,998). Externally identical, this just-restored DB5 sold at Goodwood for £539,100 ($848,281).

Another car with an interesting provenance to sell at Goodwood was Rolling Stone Bill Wyman's 1971 Citroën Maserati SM which sold for almost double its estimate at £61,980 ($97,526). Bill Wyman took delivery of the car in June, 1971 at his house in the Alpes Maritimes, France. "The minute I saw the SM, I thought, this is it!" Wyman recalled. "It looked so beautiful. They showed me that amazing engine and the double headlights, and I thought, incredible! I fell in love with it." Between 1971 and 1982 Wyman was living in the South of France and frequently drove the SM from his new home in Vence to Paris where the Rolling Stones recorded the albums "Some Girls," "Emotional Rescue" and "Tattoo You". "I'd drive it to Keith Richards' place, miles away in Cap Ferrat, to record the Exile on Main Street album," said Wyman, "and I'd drive to Paris and back, an eight-hour journey each way. It was so easy to drive."

Reid’s time was 0.78 seconds faster than the Lexus LFA piloted by Chris Ward, while third spot went to the all-new Aston Martin GT12 driven by Matt Becker, Chief Engineer, Vehicle Attributes at Aston Martin. Although not part of the Supercar competition, last year’s victor, Jann Mardenborough, followed the Supercar batch up the Hill in the unique Nissan Juke-R 2.0, and set a time that would have been good enough for third spot

Honda’s 1965 RA272 Formula One racing car featured a 48-valve 1,500 cc V12 engine which produced 230 hp. The engine was safe to 14,000 rpm, which was unusually high for a 1960s engine design. Richie Ginther led the 1965 Mexican Grand Prix from start to finish in the RA272, in so doing becoming the first driver to take a Japanese car to victory a Formula One Grand Prix.

The “Beast of Turin” is an aptly-named four-cylinder 28.5 liter FIAT S76, the fastest (unofficially) car in the world in 1911 when it was recorded at 135 mph on public roads at Ostende in Belgium but was unable to complete a return run for the record. It had been anticipated as an entrant at the last Festival of Speed but just failed to complete an exhaustive ten year restoration in time. Here’s a lovely video of the first time the beast fired in over a century.

With the dynamic debut of the Aston Martin Vulcan, Aston Martin made sure some of the exotica from the marque’s past was on dynamic display too, including this DBR1 which won the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans, the company’s only outright victory in the endurance classic.

The cars you see at Goodwood Festival of Speed are sometimes near priceless, despite the fact they are invariably driven in a cavalier fashion. There were only two Aston Martin DBR2s ever made. One of them sold for the equivalent of US $3,425,000 at a Christie’s auction in 1985, making it one of the three most valuable cars ever sold. One wonders what this car would fetch at auction today.

A replica of the Bentley Speed Six Blue Train Coupe with a story that reads like it is from a “Boys Own” Annual. In 1930, devilishly handsome and independently wealthy playboy and Bentley Chairman, Woolf Barnato accepted a bet while cruising on the French Riviera to race the fabled "Blue Train" to London. "Le Train Bleue" was a national symbol of technological prowess for the French, being the quickest, most luxurious transport available at the time, traveling from Cannes to Calais, crossing the English Channel by ferry to its final destination at London's Victoria station. Barnato won the race in his custom 6.5 liter Bentley Speed Six, pulling up outside his London club four minutes before the train reached Calais, having had to cross France on two lane public roads and the ferry to Dover into the bargain.

Former World Rally Champ Hannu Mikkola returned to Goodwood this year in the ever-popular Audi Sport Quattro S1 E2, widely regarded as the most powerful rally car to have ever competed. Walter Röhrl used one to win Pikes Peak in 1987 with an engine boosted to produce 580 hp.

This 480 hp Auto Union Type D Doppel Kompressor (twin-supercharger) is one of the most valuable cars in the world, having been one of just a handful that survive from the pre-WW2 glory days when Auto Union dominated Grand Prix racing. A similar car went to auction at Pebble Beach in 2009 and was widely expected to sell beyond its estimate of $10 million and perhaps exceed the then most expensive car ever sold at auction, the 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa which fetched €9,020,000 ($12,187,280) at RM’s Ferrari auction at Maranello in May 2009. It failed to sell in the aftermath of the GFC, but in today's climate, it would certainly sell within the top 10. How wondrous it is that cars such as these can be seen and heard at close quarters on full throttle instead of as a static display in a museum. Auto Union eventually became part of Audi, which continues the company's proud racing tradition. The fellow behind the wheel is Nick Mason, the drummer from Pink Floyd.

The Goodwood FOS no longer times F1 cars up the hill due to safety reasons (and the ultra competitive nature of those that drive them). That doesn't make the demonstrations any less spectacular though. This is Nico Rosberg getting set for a rapid departure in his Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 W04 V8 Formula One car from 2013

Norton's Type F circa 1953/54. This is the prototype of the replacement for the Manx and only one was ever built. When all the major Italian factories got together and withdrew from the world championships, the project was shelved. Unlike the legendary upright single it was to replace, the cylinder in the Type F was horizontal in the same configuration as the Benelli and Moto Guzzi racers of the perio, with a view to lowering the center of gravity of the machine

Yet another Derek Bell Le Mans 24 Hour car. This one the 1995 McLaren F1 GTR in which he finished third in 1995 when the GT1 category McLaren made global news by finishing 1-3-4.

Needless to say, that's Derek Bell behind the wheel

The Maserati 250F was Maserati’s Grand Prix car from 1954 to 1960, with 26 cars being made in total and the car a winner throughout it’s illustrious career, from the first race where it was taken to a win by Fangio in the 1954 Argentine Grand Prix before he switched to the Mercedes Benz Silver Arrows. Sterling Moss drove a 250F in winning the 1956 Monaco Grand Prix, and when Mercedes pulled out of racing, Fangio switched back to Maserati and won four Grands Prix (Argentina, Monaco, France and Germany) on the way to his 1957 title

The Revs Institute in Florida restored this 12.5 liter (775 ci), 100 bhp 1908 Mors Grand Prix car and shipped it to Goodwood to take part in the celebration. Like the "Beast of Turin" this monumentally large automobile made an astonishing noise and was a crowd favorite. There's a lot more coverage of the car on the official Festival of Speed site. It's driver in the 1908 French (and only) Grand Prix was none other than the world's first "fastest man," Camille Jenatzy

Now it's unlikely you've ever seen one of these before, unless you're a devotee of the PlayStation 3 video game Gran Turismo 5 or Gran Turismo 6 or you've been to the Red Bull Museum. The Red Bull X2010 (originally named Red Bull X1) is a prototype vehicle designed by the world's most successful Formula One race car designer, Adrian Newey in response to a request by Gran Turismo chief Kazunori Yamauchi's for Newy to build "the fastest racing car on land, one that throws aside all rules and regulations."The prototype was designed by then Red Bull Racing's Chief Technical Officer Adrian Newey in conjunction with Yamauchi. It features enclosed wheels, and a "fan element" to increase low and medium-speed downforce (much like a Chaparral 2J or Brabham BT46B)
