The sensational new sports car will take to the hill along with its racing car sibling - the BMW M8 GTE, fresh from its debut at the 2018 Le Mans 24 Hours - and the new BMW i8 Roadster.
With outstanding performance, emotion-stirring design, state-of-the-art luxury and advanced equipment technology, the new BMW 8 Series Coupe is one of the most exciting new models to emerge in recent years and will launch in November 2018.
Visitors to the festival will not only be able to see the car in action in the 'First Glance' category but also on display in the Stable Yard - a unique area at Goodwood, which this year will focus on luxury, presented in cooperation with the Cass Sculpture Foundation.
The area will showcase the BMW Concept M8 Gran Coupe, a car that embodies a new expression of luxury for the BMW brand - ultra-sporty, extrovert and polarising - and serves as a taster for the BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe and BMW M8 Gran Coupe that will launch in 2019.
Alongside both cars will be the beautiful new BMW i8 Roadster and a BMW 740Le, in an Individual Moonstone finish. Accompanying these will be David Hockney's 1995 Art Car, a BMW 850CSi painted to show the inside of the car on the outside - everything from internal engine parts to a dog in the back is revealed.
