Abarth is coming to this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, but they’re not going to be all about Ferrari or Maserati tribute models, as the Italians are doing something much cooler: airplane stunts!
An Abarth-branded stunt plane will take to the skies above Goodwood. At the controls of the Extra 300L, which is one of the most celebrated stunt plane out there, will be pilot Mark Jefferies. Since we couldn’t find footage from the 2012 test runs with the Abarth 300L, we’re showing you what Jefferies did at the Little Gransden Airshow last year. You’ll have to agree these stunts are pretty mind-blowing.
“Goodwood have been looking at ways to strengthen the link between its hugely successful Festival of Speed and the Aviation Show, and we were happy to offer the Abarth stunt plane,” says Ivan Gibson, head of Abarth UK. “The association is there for all to see – our high performance cars on the world famous Goodwood track and our high performance stunt plane in the skies. I hope everyone will enjoy the connection.”
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
