EngageSportMode has featured the SEMA show, and the quite literally mental creations it throws up, before. This year seems to have been just as crazy, so we’ve pulled together a gallery featuring some of the wildest offerings. Just remember beauty is in the eye of the beholder, or something like that. Car modification in the UK seems to…

Friday Photo – All-New 2015 Hyundai Tucson UK Launch
Yes, this week ESM was back behind the wheel of another new compact SUV crossover, reviewing the Hyundai Tucson for the guys at Motoring Research. Helpfully, Hyundai decided to make the North East its base for the UK launch of the Tucson, meaning only a short trip to Newcastle airport to get acquainted with the handsome…
Friday Photo – 2001 BMW M3 GTR in Monterey Gallery
Although Monterey Auto Week is often all about the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, there’s actually a huge number of events going on at different venues throughout the area. One of the newer shows is the Legends of the Autobahn Concours D’Elegance which, this year, features one of ESM’s most favourite race cars. In fact, it’s also one of the…
Friday Video – Kimi just couldn’t care less
It hasn’t been the easiest week in the world of Formula 1. However, you can always count on Kimi Räikkönen to provide some kind of distraction. Although hardly known for engaging with the media, the official Ferrari video ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix is a new level of Kimi: What amazes us more at ESM, is the…
Friday Photo – New Volkswagen Golf Touring Car Concept
Is the Volkswagen Golf top on your list of cars that spring to mind as successful touring car racers? Nope, we didn’t think so either. But could the Wolfsburg marque finally be about to change that, with this striking looking machine? Roll out the old cliché about good-looking cars being fast, and Volkswagen should be onto a winner…
Friday Video – Three Dodge ‘Predators’ Stalk Miami
You know the deal. EngageSportMode loves the Dodge Hellcat twins. We can’t quite believe it’s a year since the ridiculously over-horsepowered Challenger and Charger appeared, but, in case we forgot, Dodge has a new video advert. We don’t want to spoil the surprise, so here’s the video. Go watch it, and then you can read…
Friday Photo – Le Mans 2015 Qualifying Gallery
If you remember back to last year, EngageSportMode got quite excited about Le Mans. Less so about the racing, as good as it was, and more so about the awesome imagery coming out of the manufacturers’ press offices. 2015 is proving to be no different, so we bring you some of the best shots from qualifying. Porsche…
Friday Photo – Six Retro Themed Toyota GT86 for Goodwood
We like the Toyota GT86. We also like retro-racer inspired liveries. So a bundle of six GT86s finished in classic Toyota racing colour schemes sounds like a pretty good deal to us! Celebrating some 50 years of Toyota motorsport heritage, the six models have been vinyl-wrapped, lowered by 40mm, had stainless steel exhausts fitted and Rota…
Friday Photo – Retro Livery for Nissan GT-R LM P1 NISMO
Ask any bearded hipster and they’ll happily tell you that retro is obviously cool. This fact is seemingly not lost on motorsport teams, with Nissan choosing to clad one of the Le Mans GT-R racers in a colour scheme from 25 years ago. Anyone who has played Gran Turismo series will recognise the blue, red and white colours as…
Friday Photo – Skoda’s 2015 Wörthersee Concepts
The annual GTI Meeting at Wörthersee is something the Volkswagen Group takes very seriously, using it to show off some of the wildest creations from the VAG empire. This year, Skoda has not one, but two, special concept vehicles on show. There seems to be something of a trend with pickups as Wörthersee show creations. Two years ago Volkswagen had…
Friday Video – Audi RS 3 ‘Birth’
Audi has a habit of producing some rather decent adverts. There was the epic sounding R8 V10 plus one from a couple of years ago, and further back there’s the Audi 100 quattro driving up a ski jump. However, this latest one is rather bold, even by Ingolstadt’s usual standards. Take a look for yourself –…
Friday Photo – Senna’s Toleman-Hart TG184-2 for sale
If you’ve got £1million spare, you could be the owner of this rather special piece of Ayrton Senna history. But is there more than meets the eye with this car? Currently on sale with specialist luxury car dealer Prindiville in London, this Toleman-Hart TG184-2 was driven by Senna during his rookie F1 year in 1984….
