DEFENDER

Three distinctive and diverse Defender models will make their global dynamic debuts at the Goodwood Festival of Speed on 10-13 July, demonstrating the breadth of capability and broad appeal from the original British adventure brand.

Defender OCTA Black – a bold all-black interpretation of the high-performance 4x4 rock star, which stars in the brand’s latest advertising campaigns celebrating Defender’s role as the official automotive partner of Oasis Live ’25 – will unleash its 635PS 4.4-litre Twin Turbo V8 power on the famous Goodwood hillclimb. It will be followed by an evocative Deep Sandglow Yellow 110 Trophy Edition, built for epic adventures with greater purpose such as the recently announced Defender Trophy competition. Both vehicles feature the latest visual and infotainment updates made across the Defender range.

Fitting with this year’s Festival of Speed theme: ‘The Winning Formula – Champions and Challengers’, the Defender Rally team will debut the latest prototype of its Dakar D7X-R rally car on the hillclimb and in the Off-Road Arena. Four-time Dakar rally stage winner Sara Price will drive on Thursday and Friday before handing over to 14 times Dakar Rally winner Stéphane Peterhansel for the weekend, as prototype testing continues ahead of the team’s entry into the 2026 Dakar Rally and World Rally Raid Championship (W2RC).

Rugby fans will also be able to see the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 Trophy Vehicle, a custom plug-in electric hybrid Defender 110 carrying the special trophy. Defender is a Principal Partner of Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025, which kicks‑off on 22 August.

RANGE ROVER

Range Rover is celebrating its 55-year lineage with a line-up of its most cherished vehicles, as well as previews of the newest additions to the Range Rover SV stable; representing its most luxurious and performance-honed vehicles.

With 615PS V8 power, Range Rover SV represents an exquisite interpretation of luxury and personalisation, offering heightened levels of refinement for the world’s most discerning clients – with exclusive features and finishes. The recently-announced Range Rover SV Black* debuts at the Festival of Speed, completing the line-up which now features distinct Range Rover SV Intrepid and Range Rover SV Serenity models. New Range Rover SV Black represents refined elegance in its purest form, with beautiful black finishes and craftsmanship in every detail complementing its striking Narvik Gloss Black exterior.

Visitors to the stand will be able to hear more about Range Rover’s pioneering audio and wellness technologies available across its SV range, including the availability of Front and Rear Body and Soul Seats and Sensory Floor on Range Rover SV models**. Sensory floor – a world first – features transducers within the floor which can be felt through the luxurious thick-pile carpet mats. These vibrate in time with the music, or one of six in-built wellness programmes, to augment the listening experience or soothe occupants.

The 635PS Range Rover Sport SV Black* will also make its global dynamic debut on the hillclimb. This distinctive amplification of the most performance-focused Range Rover includes a black-painted carbon fibre bonnet, as well as Gloss Black exterior finishes for the Forged 23-inch alloy wheels, eight-piston Brembo brake calipers and quad exhausts. Its arrival is part of a refreshed line-up for Range Rover Sport SV, which is now available to all and can be curated to meet the individual needs of clients – as opposed to a limited edition offering.

Visitors will also have the chance to view a prized collection of black Range Rovers from across its five generations and learn from Range Rover’s experts about its SV Bespoke personalisation programme – for clients seeking something truly distinctive.

JAGUAR

The Jaguar Type 00 will make its highly anticipated UK public debut on the Jaguar display at Goodwood Festival of Speed. Having completed a schedule of high-profile global appearances, the striking design vision concept takes pride of place on our stand. Spotlit in artistic and sophisticated surroundings, Type 00’s presence at Goodwood is a pinnacle moment for the brand as it opens the doors for previews in its home country.

Visitors can see Jaguar’s bold, exuberant and intentionally distinctive new look in a specially curated gallery and learn about Jaguar’s future as it embarks on its much-anticipated reimagination. The Duke of Richmond will join Jaguar Managing Director, Rawdon Glover, for an exclusive review of the Jaguar Type 00 design vision concept on Thursday 10 July at 2:30pm. Attending media are welcome to visit the stand if they would like to report on the moment.

Jaguar’s heritage is represented at Festival of Speed with the iconic Jaguar XJS, which celebrates its 50^th anniversary in 2025. To mark this occasion, a selection of notable XJS models will take to the hillclimb for four experiential runs on Thursday 10 July.

DISCOVERY

Discovery will showcase its most luxurious model ever, the exclusive matte-finished Tempest edition with Petra Copper contrasts representing the flagship of the ingenious and versatile seven-seat SUV family designed for spontaneous adventures with the whole family – including dogs.
