Club EV

The Goodwood Festival of Speed is a once in a year opportunity for vehicles of all sorts come together for the sake of community and going fast. The racing and awards go not only to the driver but the manufacturer also for their efforts. For this year, Honda along with Mastercard is going to present a stand inspired by the new Honda E that will debut during the festivities. 

The Amazing Climb

The bottom of the "club" will take visitors through a timeline of Honda's efforts towards electrical vehicles and alternate powerplants. Folks will get to see vehicles like the 1972 Civic, 1999 Insight Hybrid and the new Honda E. To add some icing on the cake will be the debut of the new facelifted NSX (which is a hybrid) will also have a light shined upon it.

Watch This!

In an alternate version of the stand, Honda will have a physical challenge for visitors that embodies the automaker's motto of ‘anything difficult is worth doing.’ The exhibit will feature a wobble board where guests can attempt to stay on longer than the Honda team average of 63 seconds. In keeping with the old school time period of when Honda began, there will be arcade games such as Space Invaders and Asteroids.

Straight from Dave's mouth

Dave Hodgetts, managing director of Honda UK, commented: “Honda has been a sponsor of the Goodwood Festival of Speed for over 20 years and we have continually brought something new for visitors to see over the years. This year is no different as we now turn our attention to electrification and the arrival of the new Honda e next year. Our stand this year is called Club EV – a destination for future thinking motoring enthusiasts that showcases the joy of going electric and focuses on our electrification journey, welcoming all visitors to the electric vehicle club!”
