Like clockwork, BMW’s PR Department rolled out another almost believable product as part of its annual April Fools’ Day gag. This year, it’s the turn of the “Force Injection Booster” system.

SEAT Leon Cupra – Extreme Simulator Video
Ok, we’re willing to admit we’re already a bit of a sucker for SEAT UK’s marketing around the new Leon Cupra here at EngageSportMode. But they’ve really outdone themselves with this rather special video:
What did we learn from the 2014 Geneva Motor Show?
Here at EngageSportMode we’ve brought you a veritable banquet of new cars in the space of one short week. You can find all our coverage here, but with the dust settling and the return to normality, we’re left pondering just what did Geneva 2014 teach us about the state of the car industry? Everything is now…
Friday Photo – 2014 Geneva Motor Show Gallery
It’s been a busy week at the 84th Geneva International Motor Show with a number of launches and debuts. We’ve covered a lot of it here on EngageSportMode already, but here’s some our photo highlights: A big week for the Audi, with the Audi S1 Sportback, RS4 Nogaro Blue special edition, new TT and TT…
Geneva 2014 – Honda Civic Type-R Concept – Photo Gallery
Today’s Geneva Motor Show was seemingly a bit of a hot-hatch fest. After much speculation, here’s the concept version of Honda’s latest Type-R hatchback, with one of the craziest rear wings ever. We’ve been without a Type R version of the Honda Civic since January 2011, when EURO V emission regulations killed off the high-revving…
Land Rover Defender Challenge by Bowler – First Round Results
Recently we previewed the Defender Challenge by Bowler rally series with a rather awesome picture of a very sideways Land Rover. The first round of the competition kicked off yesterday and produced more great photos. Run as part of the Mid Wales Stages rally, five entrants for the Defender Challenge took to the slippery forestry roads and hillside…
Peugeot 308 (somehow) Wins 2014 European Car of the Year
Sometimes things happen when you least expect them. Who could have predicted Russia reigniting Cold War tensions, Red Bull suffering horrendous F1 testing reliability, or a distinctly average hatchback winning 2014 European Car of the Year. Realistically the latter was probably more foreseeable than the former two examples. But it still makes you question just…
Driving and doing stuff at same time apparently dangerous
EngageSportMode has, in the past, taken a little bit of umbrage at the messages of the Institute of Advanced Motorists. Today they released a statement in relation to a survey undertaken by road safety zealots Brake. Normally we would hold our tongue, but couldn’t keep our mouths closed in this instance. In a survey of 1,000 people…
2014 SEAT Leon Cupra – Something of a bargain
We like the new SEAT Leon Cupra here at EngageSportMode. We like it even more when SEAT UK announces keenly priced finance options, that match the power output of their car’s 2.0 TSI engine. Call us OCD, but having a Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) finance deal that lets you drive a 265 PS SEAT Leon Cupra…
Friday Photo – Ferrari California T
When first launched back in 2008, the Ferrari California confused purists to an extent. Here was a front-engined V8 Ferrari, with a folding hard-top and dual-clutch transmission. Being unkind, some accused it of being aimed at those interested in cruising, not driving. Fast forward to 2014, and Ferrari has given the California an update with an extra…
New 2014 Nissan Qashqai Enters Production
Being based in the North East, it’s fairly impossible for EngageSportMode.com to ignore the influence of our friendly neighbourhood car manufacturer; Nissan. The proliferation of Juke, Qashqai, Note and even Leaf models on the roads in these parts are testament to just how big a deal the Nissan Motor Manufacturing UK plant in Sunderland is. So…
SEMA 2013 – The wild and wonderful
Held annually at the Las Vegas Convention Center, the SEMA Show brings together the USA’s billion dollar aftermarket tuning and performance industry for one week. The show is a chance for companies from across the globe to show off their wares, but is also seized upon by car manufactures to show off their own creations. We’ve picked out…
