Both Tesla and Riversimple have announced they will be exhibiting their latest models at Goodwood Festival of Speed 2016.

Tesla is set to unveil its SUV, Model X, claimed to combine safety, size and speed. The model is capable of accelerating from 0-60 mph in just 3.2 seconds and has been reported to be the most impressive utility vehicle in history.

Meanwhile, Riversimple will showcase its hydrogen fuel cell car, the ‘Rasa’, which the company claims is the most efficient road-legal car in the world. The exhibition will give car fans a chance to get up to close to the vehicle, which spent 15 years in development, and is set to be commercially availably by 2018.

Commenting on the group’s presence of the show, Hugo Spowers, Riversimple founder and automotive engineer, said: “We are honoured to be attending the Goodwood Festival of Speed this year, and immensely proud to showcase the British designed and built ‘Rasa’ at an event which embodies the heritage, pace and excitement of motoring and automotive design.

“The Hillclimb is a brilliant opportunity to showcase the surprisingly sporty Rasa, which has been performing beautifully on the road. This year’s festival will see the wildest, fastest, craziest, baddest cars and bikes ever to ascend the Goodwood Hill.”
