Watch: Top 10 Fastest Cars at 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed
The renowned Goodwood Festival of Speed in the U.K. wrapped up on Sunday after four days of spectacular displays and debuts, and of course the marquee event that is the 1.86-km-long hill climb.
Every year, the time trials up the hill on the Goodwood Estate are always must-see action. The 2025 edition did not disappoint.

In what came as a surprise for many spectators both in attendance and watching online, the fastest vehicle and winner of the King of the Hill title wasn’t some hypercar like the Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear, as you can see in the official video below showing the top 10 runs:
That’s right: Ford’s F-150 Lightning SuperTruck—a tri-motor electric pickup with over 1,400 horsepower and up to 6,000 lbs of downforce at max speed—achieved the fastest time of all at 43.23 seconds with experienced race car driver Romain Dumas behind the wheel. It beat last year’s winner, the Ford SuperVan 4.2, by more than half a second. Remember, this is the same truck that won Colorado’s Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in 2024.
The second fastest time was posted by the flame-spitting, 670-horsepower Subaru WRX Project Midnight (45.03 seconds), while the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup race car rounded out the podium (46.74 seconds).
Despite finishing in fourth place (47.14 seconds), Koenigsegg’s latest creation made the most of its 1,625 horsepower to set the production car record that used to belong to the Czinger 21C. The Swedish hypercar will be limited to 30 units globally, as previously reported.
