A range of luxury vehicles featuring Alcantara interiors were showcased at the 20204 Goodwood Festival of Speed held in London from July 11-14.

They included the McLaren Senna with its Senna Sempre livery paying homage to motorsports legend Ayrton Senna. The vehicle’s exterior is in the colours of the Brazilian flag and its interior features an exclusive yellow Alcantara upholstery with green perforations and white stitching. The sills of the black Alcantara upholstered doors are also decorated with the signature and a quote from Senna.

The Hispano Suiza Carmen Boulogne also made its debut on the Goodwood hill climb to commemorate the brand’s 120th anniversary. The electric hyper-car’s interior features perforated black Alcantara with an orange backing in the centre of the seats and door panels and black Alcantara on the steering wheel and dashboard.

Other Alcantara interiors were showcased in Alfa Romeo’s 33 Stradale and Romeo Junior, BMW’s M5 and X3, the Lotus Emira, Emeya and Eletre models, and the electric Hyundai Ioniq 5N.
