Honda brings the magic of the movies to Goodwood Festival of Speed

10-13 July 2025

Honda returned to the British countryside, with scene-stealing performances from across its award-winning product portfolio and motorsport history.

The Honda stand

Designed to mimic the experience of a live film set, this year the Honda stand gave visitors the chance to channel their main character energy with a range of interactive experiences centred around the products on display.

Prelude Hillclimb

The all-new Prelude e:HEV hybrid coupe returns for its much-anticipated sequel. Making its European driving debut, the Prelude prototype wowed the crowd at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2025.

Motorsport

This year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed celebrated 75 years of Formula 1, and Honda was no different.

As a key contributor to this history, the brand will not only mark 60-years since its first victory at the pinnacle of four-wheel racing, but also its first Constructors’ Championship success with the return of the Williams FW11.  

Powered by the Honda RA166E engine, said to produce some 1,050 horsepower, was driven up the Hill this year by iconic British driver Nigel Mansell – one half of the title-winning duo from 1986.  

Not only that, but two-wheel hero Rick Brabec appeared, riding his CRF450 Dakar Rally model as a further showcase of Honda’s more recent motorsport success. 

All of which demonstrate how the brand, since its founding, has regarded racing as a proving ground for both its people and technologies, boldly taking on top-level motorsports across both two and four-wheels.
