The 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed Central Feature is a dramatic 28-metre-high steel sculpture celebrating Singer Vehicle Design, the California-based company renowned for its reimagined Porsche 911 restorations.
Designed by Gerry Judah, the sculpture features three sweeping steel arches spanning 62 metres across the lawn in front of Goodwood House. Suspended within the structure are three Singer commissions, positioned between six and 14 metres above the ground to create a striking sense of movement and balance.
Three elegant arches rise and intersect in a bold sculptural form, expressing the speed, precision and craftsmanship that have become hallmarks of Judah’s Central Features at Goodwood.
The sculpture incorporates 38 tonnes of fabricated steel and is supported by three independent 100-tonne reinforced concrete foundations concealed beneath the Festival grounds. Each arch is constructed as a hollow triangular monocoque, fabricated from steel plate ranging from 8 mm to 30 mm in thickness. This highly efficient structural design provides exceptional strength and stiffness while preserving the clean, slender profile that defines the sculpture’s visual impact.
The result is a seamless fusion of art and engineering - an elegant structure that appears almost weightless while supporting three vehicles high above the Festival grounds.
