Goodwood Festival of Speed 2019: what new cars will be there? Alfa Romeo is celebrating its return to Formula 1 with two special edition variants of the Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio. The limited-run 'Alfa Romeo Racing' versions of the performance saloon and SUV gain a red and white livery and unique interior trim upgrades, such as Sparco carbonfibre-shell bucket seats. The 503bhp 2.9-litre V6 remains the same, however. Aston鈥檚 fastest convertible in its history, the 211mph DBS Superleggera Volante, will almost certainly make its first public debut at the show given the brand鈥檚 presence will be bigger than ever. Revealed last month, the 拢250,000 model features a 715bhp 5.2-litre V12, with Aston claiming a 鈥渟ensory overload鈥?thanks to the electric folding soft-top. It's been eight years since Cheshire-based Briggs Automotive Company (BAC) first launched the Mono single-seater. Now, at long last, the company is turning up the wick with a new version heading to Goodwood.
A Ford Fiesta offers 292 litres. But what of mpg figures? Well, keep to driving around town, and the UX is likely to easily beat conventional combustion-powered rivals; a mid-forties figure in urban environments is entirely plausible. However, at a steady 70mph you鈥檇 be lucky to hit 40mpg, so if you cover higher mileages, a diesel would be a much better option. Company car users will appreciate the 23 percent Benefit-in-Kind rate, which is three groups lower than the cleanest petrol BMW X2. UX prices start from 拢29,900, which is similar to the BMW too, and all models get adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist and road sign recognition as standard. However, climb up the range and prices soon spiral: the top spec four wheel drive Takumi model costs 拢40,350. For that, you could get a top spec X2 xDrive20d M Sport X - a car which is quicker and potentially more frugal in the real world - and 拢1,210 change.
Mercedes-Benz's GLC is about to come in for a minor facelift. The changes represent a mid-cycle update for the small luxury SUV which first arrived in 2015 as a 2016 model. We should see this updated version in the second half of 2019 as a 2020 model. The GLC is an important model for Mercedes. The automaker sold close to 70,000 of them in the United States last year, which is the best result since the SUV went on sale. This means you shouldn't expect Mercedes to rock the boat with this update. We can spot minor revisions to the grille and headlights, with the latter benefiting from a new daytime running light design. There's also likely a new front fascia under all of that cladding. More advanced prototypes should exhibit changes at the rear as well. Inside, there will be an upgrade of the infotainment system. Unfortunately, the updated GLC will miss out on the advanced dual-screen system that debuted in the new A-Class. Instead, the updated GLC will feature the same system found in the updated 2019 C-Class. There's a larger screen at the top of the center stack and a new touchpad in the center console. There's also a larger screen in the instrument cluster and a new steering wheel with extra controls. The GLC's base 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 will likely see horsepower increased from 241 to 255 horsepower, reflecting a similar change for the updated C-Class. In the GLC43 model from AMG, output from the 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 will likely be bumped to 385 hp, up from 362 hp currently, once again reflecting a similar change in the updated C-Class. The GLC63 sledgehammer was just added for 2018 so we're not expecting any changes there.
