The Sound of Silence at Goodwood

3

Goodwood feels like Britain’s last real motor show. You go to gauge the industry. You look at what sits on the Duke’s lawn.

This year? It was a snapshot of change.

The old guard leaned hard into history. Nostalgia sold. Meanwhile the Chinese walked in with unshakable confidence. Did you see BYD’s stand? Huge. A message. MG and NIO were there too, substantial and present.

It raises a question about what we hear. Fake noise versus the guttural truth of a V12.

Performance EVs are winning the charts but they’re losing the soul. The industry is shifting right under our eyes. And it is quiet.
