Goodwood Revival marks its ten year anniversary

By Nick Eaton Motor Shows 09 September 2008 10:00 This month the grounds at Goodwood will once again play host to what has become the world’s largest historic motor racing festival. The Goodwood Revival will take place on 19-21 September - exactly ten years since it was first held, and sixty years since the legendary Goodwood circuit was opened. The event is an effort to relive the post-WW2 spirit of motor racing as it was between 1948 and 1966.

Audi RS5 (2010) first official pictures

This is the new Audi RS5, a £60,000 super-coupe with a high-revving 4.2-litre V8 and a 174mph top speed. It's Audi's riposte to the BMW M3, and we'll see it in the metal at next week's 2010 Geneva motor show. Under the bonnet is the same naturally aspirated 4163cc V8 that powered the old RS4 and is currently found in the R8, but Audi’s Quattro GmbH division – responsible for all of Ingolstadt’s RS models – has squeezed an extra 30bhp out of the engine. That means the high-revving, direct-injection 4.2-litre V8 produces 444bhp at 8250rpm, along with 317lb ft from 4000 to 8000rpm.  That power is sent through a seven-speed S-tronic gearbox to all four wheels, and with the Launch Control system engaged it’s enough to propel the 1725kg coupe to 62mph in 4.6 seconds, before powering the RS5 on to its 155mph limiter.
