The Goodwood Festival of Speed has given us a great chance to see some supercars and exotics that haven't been very plentiful in the States. Several soon-to-be-released models or Euro-only offerings were in the supercar paddock, and most would later be seen making the run up the hill. Even the rain didn't seem to discourage them. A veritable who's who of the mega-exotics has made the run up the hill so far -- Caparo, Bugatti Veyron, Aston DBS, Lotus 2-Eleven, GB Roadster, SLR roadster, the one-off Ferrari 612 P4/5 (above), the Giugiaro Mustang, Audi R8, Lambo Superleggera, Roush 600 RE, Maserati Gran Turismo, Invicta S1, Marcos, Morgan, a Ferrari 599 and the 612 Police car, the Tesla Roadster, a Mosler, and many more. Around the grounds you can find additional cars that are on display only, like a couple of Zondas, a Koenigsegg, a Carrera GT, an F40, the Peugeot 908 RC concept, a Diablo GT, the SLK 63 AMG Black Series, an Alfa 8C, KTM's X-Bow, and others. Supercars are just about everywhere you go here at Goodwood. Click through for tons of high-res photos of some of them on display or in action.

the GT-R is not a super car or an exotic, its a mustang GT500/base model corvette competitor. The top model MAY be a Z06/Viper competitor, but its no where near exotic or super car status. sorry.

Given that Nissan is aiming at the 911 Turbo with just the base model (with two trims above that still), I'd say it's definitely up there on borderline super car.

I love that 612 police car. It must be UK based on the English and the right-hand drive? All I know is that I'd kill to drive it.

The GTR is a legend and a super car.

I think I am starting to believe in that Heaven and Hell business... Goodwood seems to be my choice at the moment.. yum!

The new GT-R was super enough to participate in the supercar lineup (along with a Shelby GT500, Tesla, Maserati Gran Turismo, Vantage, et al), but it only made one run and was still camo-covered at the nose and tail. The gallery was posted before it ran, if that makes sense, because of the fact that uploading has had a time lag from over here. I'll try to add some pics of it soon.

Thanks for uploading the GT-R pics!

Great Goodwood coverage and pictures, Frank! Makes me want to visit it one of these days.

It's like a wet dream on Viagra. Could you imagine the level of arrogance at this event! YUM!
