Toughroads 953 makes its public debut at Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Following a private European roadshow, Toughroads will be presented to the public, international media and selected collectors at Goodwood Festival of Speed 2026.

Born from rally spirit. Refined through craftsmanship. Built for those who go beyond the beaten track.

This is 953 Toughroads.

Created for collectors and drivers who seek authenticity beyond the ordinary, 953 Toughroads combines rally-bred presence, air-cooled character and the personal nature of a bespoke commission.

Victorious in Dakar, reimagined in the red sand dunes of Riyadh, reengineered at the shore of lake Constance.

The legacy continues...
