The Goodwood Festival of Speed starts today, so we thought we'd give you a run-down of the late entrants and exhibits which will be on display this weekend.
In addition to the cars we told you about last week in our Goodwood feature, there will be exhibits on display from McLaren, Porsche, BMW, Alfa Romeo and Volvo.
So if you're planning on making your way down to Goodwood this weekend, keep your eyes peeled for these...
Alfa Romeo
Alfa Romeo is set to host the UK debut of its MiTo TwinAir, which is fitted with the same two-cylinder 875cc engine currently found in the Fiat 500 TwinAir. To mark the launch, a series of acoustic live performances from Tim Burgess and Mark Collins (The Charlatans), Steve Cradock (Ocean Colour Scene), and Marner Brown will be taking place.
Alfa will also be celebrating the fiftieth birthday of its Giulia model and will be displaying a number of classic Alfas including a 1965 Giulia Sprint Speciale prototype, a 1750 GT Am which competed in the European Touring Car Challenge, a 1932 Gran Premio Tipo B 'P3' and a 1953 6C 3000CM.
One of our favourite cars, the Alfa Romeo 8C Spider, will also be taking on the Goodwood hillclimb.
BMW
The Bavarian firm's M6 Coupe and M6 Convertible will be making their UK debut. Both are fitted with the latest turbocharged V8 engine developing 560bhp and will be attempting Goodwood's world famous hillclimb.
A host of BMW M Cars will also be on display to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the sub-brand. A BMW M3 DTM racing car currently competing in the 2012 DTM season will be joined by an M3 Chrome Bullet and an M3 Performance Edition, of which only thirty will be made.
An M-powered version of BMW's 1 Series will also be on show. The M135i's 3.0-litre engine develops 320bhp and can get from 0-62mph in 5.1 seconds.
McLaren
On display this year will be the new updated MP4-12C which we told you about a couple of weeks ago, alongside an MP4-12C GTC racing car in Union Jack livery.
McLaren driver Jenson Button will also tackle the Goodwood Hill in a production prototype of the new MP4-12C.
Porsche
The Porsche 918 Spyder which was first unveiled at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show will make its UK debut today. The 918 is Porsche's first attempt at a true hybrid sports car and is fitted with a V8 engine which develops more than 500bhp and two electric motors which produce a combined 218bhp. In total, Porsche claims, the 918 delivers over 770bhp, hits 62mph in 3.2 seconds and still manages 94mpg and CO2 emissions of 70g/km. Impressive.
Volvo
Volvo will be giving the first UK preview of its new V40 and will also be unveiling the V60 D6 AWD, the world's first plug-in diesel hybrid.
The Goodwood Festival of Speed begins today and ends on Sunday.
