The Goodwood Festival of Speed, commonly abbreviated as FoS and referred within the United Kingdom as the Festival of Speed, is an annual hill climb featuring historic motor racing vehicles that is held in the grounds of Goodwood House, West Sussex, England. It was started in 1993 by the present Earl of March in order to bring motor racing back to the Goodwood estate – a location steeped in British motor racing history.

This year, Bentley decided to reveal and display its new Continental Supercar Convertible. The sophisticated luxury car accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds and has a top speed of 202 mph (308Km/h). It is a beautiful masterpiece from Bentley.
