I think Goodwood accidentally settled one of the biggest hypercar Holy Trinity debates of this generation.
But before I get to that...
Can we all agree Ford and Subaru spent half their development budget competing on who could build the bigger rear wing? The Ford Mustang Mach-E and the Subaru Brat looked like someone had accidentally fitted Le Mans aero onto family cars.
Jokes aside, the real takeaway for me was something else entirely.
I think the Holy Trinity debate quietly got put to rest at Goodwood 2026.
Ferrari. McLaren. Aston Martin.
Three manufacturers. Three hypercars. One hill.
See, the thing about Holy Trinities is... nobody really declares when they happen. There's no announcement. No press release. No moment where everyone suddenly agrees.
They just... happen.
Sure, the P1, LaFerrari, and 918 were a little different because they arrived within months of each other. But if you go back a few generations, the McLaren F1, Ferrari F50, and Jaguar XJ220, or the Ferrari 288 GTO, F40, and Porsche 959, weren't officially grouped together either.
Over time, enthusiasts simply kept putting the same three cars in the same sentence, and I think that is exactly what is happening now.
Goodwood didn't really create a new Holy Trinity. It just gave us the first moment where it felt obvious.
Curious where everyone else lands on this.
Are we still waiting for Porsche... Or are we watching automotive history quietly make up its own mind?
