Driven by Dreams.
With the events 30th anniversary coinciding with the 75th anniversary of the first Porsche sports car, the festival was a fitting occasion to illuminate what is possible when dreaming in full colour.
Central Feature.
A towering focal point each year, the Central Feature is an unmissable spectacle of sculptural engineering. In 2023, six of our most groundbreaking sports cars pierced the skies above Goodwood House.
Dreamlike Experiences
Inspired by the vision of founder Ferry Porsche, a wider presence of dreamlike experiences was positioned around the grounds of the festival, including The Art of Dreams “Dream Big” sculpture.
Experience Centre
The epicentre of our Festival of Dreams, the Porsche Experience Centre created a true festival atmosphere, as guests revelled in our sports car heritage and discovered the latest Porsche models.
Dreaming in Colour.
75 Year Labyrinth.
A space where guests were immersed in colours and stories from Porsche. The 75 Year Labyrinth showcased an array of key moments for Porsche, providing a time for inspiration, reflection, and dreaming.
Art of Dreams.
As the backdrop to a daily flashmob, the “Dream Big” sculpture, produced in collaboration with artist Chris Labrooy, played homage to childhood dreams, inviting guests to reflect on where their dreams can take them.
The Porsche Story.
A courageous belief in bold and colourful creativity is at the heart of the Porsche story. This brave philosophy was brought to life each day of the festival during the daily celebration moment.

Cayenne
The Cayenne is for those who feel that the joy of driving is collective, not solitary. From the completely transformed interior blending digital and analogue touchpoints, to the charismatic V8 twin-turbo engine in the new Cayenne S, the Cayenne continues to offer driving pleasure on every terrain.
911 Dakar
The Porsche 911 Dakar is a worthy successor of all the Porsche race cars that contested the Paris-Dakar rally, most famously the 953and 959. With the Rallye Design Package, it pays homage to the original and brings history back to life. The 911 Dakar is a sports car that is just as suitable for offroad driving as it is for on-road performance and also cutting a fine figure in the city. This is perhaps the truest embodiment of the vision Ferry Porsche had for is beloved 911 model.
