But we bagsied these pictures because the singer has designed her own car.
It's a 184mph Porsche 911 GT3 RS with a special swirly paint job and 'Dua Lipa RENNSTALL' (racing team) printed on the doors.
Looks tidy.
Dua unveiled the one-of-a-kind motor at May's Monaco F1 GP.
Now she's been blasted up Goodwood's famous hillclimb in it, in front of 100,000 fans.
How much was the insurance for that high-speed run, you reckon? More than a lot.
Dua said: 'I love speed. Adrenalin all the way. I'm very, very lucky to have been driven in two very iconic places.
I'm very, very lucky to have been driven in two very iconic places. Monaco F1. That was surreal. The whole experience was insane. Then the Goodwood hillclimb, which just blew me away.
'Monaco F1. That was surreal. The whole experience was insane.
"Then the Goodwood hillclimb, which just blew me away. Very, very exciting.
'I feel very lucky to get to work with the Porsche team and to create something that feels really unique and fun and to bring it down here to Goodwood.'
Chinese car brand to rival Tesla with more affordable EV makes Goodwood debut
The Training Season singer has previously written, directed and starred in adverts for Porsche's electric Macan.
She said: 'They have allowed me to express my creativity.
'Things that I guess I didn't really expect anyone to let me do. They were like 'Yeah, go for it, just have fun and enjoy'.
Charity auction
'I think that's really the core values of the brand — being creative, living life on the edge a little bit, and just having fun.
'So that's what we are here to do — and we're having a good time doing it.'
Dua's unique GT3 RS will be auctioned by Sotheby's in aid of her Sunny Hill Foundation, supporting Kosovan culture and arts.
The regular car costs £193k. So double that. And double it again probably.
Other familiar faces pitching up at the always-brilliant Festival of Speed included Olympic swim king Adam Peaty, who went up the hill in a Ferrari 12Cilindri.
He said: 'Fully got my guts inside out. So much respect for the drivers.'
Colin McRae's daughter Hollie jumped in her dad's Subaru Impreza 555, the car he steered to world rally championship glory 30 years ago in 1995.
Nigel Mansell was one of seven F1 world champions in the house.

She captioned the post with a series of emojis including a cocktail glass, coconut, stars and red love heart. The model and actress' yacht photoshoot comes after she posed completely naked for a racy bath snap before posing topless in a set of sizzling selfies. Brooklyn, a professional photographer, snapped his wife fully stretched out in a white tub with no bubble bath, the clear water giving a glimpse of her toned figure. She covered her modesty with her arm and leg, leaving her dark locks flowing into the water. Nicola went make-up free and accessorised with a single diamond bracelet. Brooklyn recently opened up to Glamour on his early plans to pop the question to Nicola, whom he married in Miami three years ago. In a rare joint interview and cover shoot with his wife, Brooklyn said: "I knew after three months that I wanted to marry her. "But because of COVID, I wanted to wait until our families could be there." Yet the chef and photographer failed to mention his parents David and Victoria by name, and claims he has now hired Prince Harry's lawyers to solve the bitter family dispute. Peltz-Beckham's respond to reports of family feud Brooklyn is allegedly embroiled in an ongoing feud with his famous family. The married couple reportedly have been keeping their distance from his family, after they failed to attend dad David's 50th birthday party. Beckham family pal Sir Elton John even stepped into the dispute as peacemaker, with Nicola and his godson Brooklyn meeting him in Cannes, as revealed in The Sun. Chef and photographer Brooklyn has continued to gush over his spouse throughout the drama - despite "cutting off brothers Cruz and Romeo" in the drama. 5 Nicola previously shared a snap of her posing in a bathtub Credit: Instagram/nicolaannepeltzbeckham 5 The couple is reportedly in a feud with Brooklyn's famous family Credit: Instagram

Hugely popular ITV crime thriller axed after just one season - despite bringing in glowing reviews and 4million viewers
A hit ITV crime thriller has been axed after just one season despite having brought in glowing reviews and four million viewers. Breakthrough drama Joan has been canned, much to the dismay of avid fans, reportedly because its starring actress Sophie Turner was too busy. It has been claimed that ITV's drama team spent months trying to find a gap in star Sophie Turner 's busy schedule to film the second series. However, after exhausting all avenues, the production crew had to admit defeat and axe the popular thriller. An ITV spokesperson told The Sun: 'ITV and Snowed-In Productions would love to produce another series of Joan. 'However, as a consequence of cast availability, and following co-production discussions, a second series isn't possible.' MailOnline has contacted ITV and Sophie's representatives for comment. The series follows the life of Joan Hannington - a real-life jewel thief who pocketed more than £3million of gems in London in the 1980s. In her ever-present fur coats and shimmering blue eyeshadow, the glamorous fraudster earned herself the moniker The Godmother among the city's criminal network. The first season aired last autumn and comprised only six episodes, but that was enough to get viewers hooked. The show left several loose ends to be tied, with the Joan determined to get revenge on her criminal counterpart Albie, who had betrayed her. Fiery Joan was also left with plans of a new and lucrative business empire after having spent a four-year stint in prison for armed robbery. Last year, director Richard Laxton said: 'There is definitely potential for the story to go on,' which only added to fans' despair. Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow both attempted to resurrect Joan's thrilling story and bring it to screens in the early 2000s, but they weren't successful. Sophie is currently occupied with several time-consuming projects and is set to play video game heroine Lara Croft in an upcoming Tomb Raider TV series. She is also appearing in sci-fi movie Cloud One and will feature in horror film The Dreadful alongside her Game Of Thrones co-star Kit Harrington. Sophie also has two daughters from her marriage to American singer Joe Jonas, and is now in a relationship with aristocrat Peregrine Pearson. Joan's very first episode was branded 'incredible' by viewers when it first aired last year. During one scene, Sophie's character meets her future husband Boisie Hannington (Frank Dillane) in a pub, with the bartender played by the couple's actual son Benny Banks. Speaking ahead of the episode, Sophie said: 'It's amazing because in the scene that we meet first in the pub, the bartender was played by Joan's son Benny'. 'It was so cool to have that because it's the moment his parents meet and he got to be there and we got to hang out with him'. Viewers were full of praise for Sophie's performance as she played the young mum, who ventures into the criminal underworld in a bid to make a better life for her young daughter. In a press conference about the show, Sophie explained she had no problem turning on the waterworks, saying: 'I'm a Pisces, I'm emotional.' 'She is so funny but she has gone through so much trauma and is so ambitious,' Sophie added of her character. 'There really is so much to her – mother, lover, liar, thief. It's just remarkable that it's all a true story.' The drama follows Joan as she escapes her violent husband but has to place her daughter into care as she gets back on her feet. With no money and nowhere to live, she manages to secure a job in a jeweller's, from where she steals her first diamonds.
