Jaguar, Range Rover, Defender and Discovery at 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed
The new Jaguar Type 01 all-electric GT prototype, the highly anticipated new Jaguar electric car, will make its UK dynamic debut on the Goodwood hillclimb, one year after the brand showcased its Type 00 design vision concept at the event.
Appearing in its lightest camouflage to date, the prototype provides the clearest indication yet of the design direction for the new Jaguar GT ahead of its full global reveal later this year. The runs on the hillclimb will showcase the vehicle's dynamic capability and dramatic presence.
On the Jaguar stand, the Type 01 prototype will take centre stage alongside a collection of classic vehicles that served as direct reference points for its driving character during its development: the E-type, XJC and XJS.
JAGUAR TCS RACING
Jaguar TCS Racing will showcase the future of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship with a public demonstration of the all-new GEN4 race car at Goodwood.
On Thursday 9 and Friday 10 the British team will take to the hillclimb with their Jaguar GEN4 proto_TYPE, which will compete for the first time in Season 13 of Formula E later this year.
Brazilian talent Fernando Barrichello will drive the Jaguar GEN4 proto_TYPE. A Euroformula Open Championship race winner, who currently competes in FIA Formula 3, Barrichello will be taking part in his first ever Goodwood hillclimb.
RANGE ROVER
Range Rover returns to Goodwood Festival of Speed from 9 to 12 July 2026 with the first public preview of the Range Rover Electric SUV. Presented in production specification as a luxury electric SUV ahead of its full global reveal and official release date later this year, it will take prominence in a contemporary Range Rover gallery space.
Alongside the Range Rover Electric SUV, the stand will showcase the new Range Rover London Editions. Inspired by the character and cultural identity of the UK capital, the Westminster, Battersea, Belgravia and Hoxton editions each interpret a distinct facet of London life through bespoke design details, materials and finishes.
Dynamic performance will be represented on the Goodwood hillclimb, where the UK-exclusive Range Rover Sport SV Ultimate Edition will tackle the course on all four days.
DEFENDER
Defender will celebrate its motorsport pedigree at the Goodwood Festival of Speed with multiple displays of the D7X-R all-terrain rally car, fresh from securing a string of dominant victories in the Stock class of the 2026 FIA World Rally-Raid Championship (W2RC), including the 2026 Dakar Rally.
The Defender Dakar D7X-R made its public dynamic debut in prototype guise at the 2025 festival, and will once again tackle the hillclimb course, as well as the Off-Road Arena, with works rally drivers Rokas Baciuška, Stéphane Peterhansel and Sara Price.
The Defender stand will also introduce the new Vertex derivative, representing the most significant visual update to the Defender 4x4 since its launch in 2020.
The display of high-performance off-road vehicles, including Defender OCTA, will be completed by several other latest models and a custom Classic Defender V8.
Visitors can experience Defender's all-terrain performance with passenger off-road rides on a purpose-built obstacle course. Younger guests can participate in ride-on mini-Defender experiences, while rugby fans can test their skills at the 'Perfect Pass' challenge, celebrating the brand's role as the Official Vehicle Partner of England Rugby.
DISCOVERY
The new Land Rover Discovery Landmark edition will be displayed at Goodwood, celebrating the essence of the original seven-seat luxury SUV. Its unique specification includes newly introduced Tasman Blue paint and additional features and design details, placing it at the head of a three-strong Discovery line-up.
