When the Goodwood Festival of Speed begins on July 7, Audi will have possibly the most impressive vehicle roster from a single marque on hand.

Every era of motorsport will be represented, and almost all the cars will be driven. Like its motorsport efforts, Audi takes Goodwood seriously and the fans will be the beneficiaries. The list of vehicles headed to the Festival of Speed include 3 Auto Union cars, 3 rally cars, a Trans Am car, and the reigning Le Mans-winning R10 TDI.

Of the Auto Union cars, one is the 16-cylinder "Silver Arrow" C-Type. The other two are a mid-engined V12 D-Type, and a recently completed recreation of the 1939 twin-supercharger D-Type. The latter will be on display only. The rally cars are the original 1980 quattro, a 1983 Group B quattro A2, and the 1985 Pikes Peak-winning quattro S1. They're all joined by the 1988 Audi 200 quattro Trans Am racer and the mighty 2006 R10 TDI.

Sadly, no R8s are scheduled to be on hand. Maybe next year.

The Goodwood Festival of Speed runs from July 7-9 and, as evidenced above, really does have something for everyone (especially if you're a follower of Audi Motorsport).
