We\u2019ve highlighted some of the most exciting things set to appear at the 25th Goodwood Festival of Speed [see our preview here], but the line-up keeps on getting stronger with new reveals being confirmed even days before the event.SUVs – especially fast SUVs – are very much the order of the day in 2018 and that\u2019s precisely what have been added to the bill, with Jaguar confirmed to be bringing along the F-Pace SVR, while Alfa Romeo will be showing off\u00a0its record-breaking Stelvio Quadrifoglio.It\u2019ll be the first time either model has been seen in public in the UK and both will show what they\u2019re capable of on the famous 1.16-mile hillclimb when the event opens on July 12th. The F-Pace SVR combines SUV styling with sports car performance and can accelerate from 0-60mph in 4.1 seconds.Its Variable Valve Exhaust System is 6.6kg lighter than the unit on a standard F-Pace and pumps out the kind of soundtrack you\u2019d expect from a 542bhp Jaguar designed and engineered by the brand\u2019s Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) division. An uprated chassis and improved aerodynamics finish off what is sure to be a very special SUV.What about the Alfa though?The Stelvio has been making lots of friends in its regular guise and it looks like it\u2019ll do the same in its souped-up Quadrifoglio form too. Powered by the 503bhp 2.9-litre V6 Bi-Turbo engine, the Stelvio Quadrifoglio exploits its 600Nm of torque to blast off from zero to 62mph in 3.8 seconds and on to a top speed of 176mph.It\u2019s this kind of grunt that helped it win the title of the Nurburgring\u2019s fastest SUV, completing the 20.832km-Nordschleife circuit in seven minutes and 51.7 seconds. The Goodwood Festival of Speed – one of the world’s largest outdoor automotive events – celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2018.More than 600 cars and motorbikes will be taking part in the event with some of motor racing\u2019s most legendary personalities and world-famous celebrities in attendance.Find out what else will be there in our special preview"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Latest News","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Fast SUVs burst into Goodwood","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/fast-suvs-burst-into-goodwood\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
