Yes, this feels a little bit like deja vu we know. But to accompany the release of the Dodge Charger Hellcat, there’s a “sizzle” video that features Motley Crüe again. In fact it’s almost identical to the one Dodge used for the Challenger Hellcat but, quite frankly, we don’t care. It’s a 707 horsepower saloon (or sedan)…

Friday Photo – Range Rover Sport SVR sets Nürburgring Record
We’re not sure how many more Nürburgring-Nordschleife records we can take this year. We’ve already seen the SEAT Leon Cupra and Renaultsport Megané battling it out, with the Honda Civic Type-R waiting in the wings. Now Land Rover has claimed the fastest lap for a SUV with the forthcoming hottest Range Rover Sport model. Land Rover claims…
Friday Video – BMW M4 “Ultimate Racetrack”
Should it still really be called the M3, does it matter that it’s turbocharged, can you love a car that has synthesised engine noises? All important questions when discussing the new BMW M3 M4. However, watch this video that we found on YouTube posted by BMW Canada, and you should find those questions float away into obscurity.
Friday Photo 2 – Dodge 4th of July Special
Right now it’s the Fourth of July. It also a week where we’ve seen Dodge unleash the epic Challenger SRT Hellcat and celebrate its 100th anniversary. As such, we decided to offer up an additional Friday Photo gallery with some Dodge back-catalogue greatest hits to celebrate American automotive ideology. The marque has had a troubled…
Friday Photo – 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed
EngageSportMode wasn’t at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, instead spending last weekend at Croft Circuit for the British Touring Car Championship. But that doesn’t mean we can’t bring you photo highlights from Goodwood. We promise there’s no flamboyant trousers or Red Arrows content contained within. Drawing in over 200,000 spectators across the four days, this…
Friday Photo – Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and C7.R
Whilst watching Le Mans this year – we’re mentioning it again, sorry – I was captivated by the noise of the Chevrolet Corvette C7.R every time it appeared on camera. Honestly, if you need proof then check out this video by Pratt & Miller, the team responsible for building the epic C7.R racer. It’s really rather awesome….
Friday Photo – 2014 Le Mans Aston Martin GTE Am
Although Le Mans is almost a week in the past, and we’d promised no more pictures, we wanted to include just one more as part of our Friday Photo. Le Mans 2013 was overshadowed by the tragic death of Dane Allan Simonsen, following a crash at Tertre Rouge early on in the race. The crash…
Friday Photo – Nissan ZEOD RC
This weekend’s Le Mans 24 Hours race is already building up quite nicely into a three-way battle between Toyota, Porsche and Audi for top honours. But, at the same time, Nissan is hoping for success with its innovative electric racer. In fact the ZEOD (zero emissions on demand) RC prototype hit an impressive benchmark in last night’s qualifying…
Friday Photo – Porsche 24 Hours of Le Mans Heritage
We’re just over a week away from 82nd 24 Hours of Le Mans, which will feature a three-way battle for the headline LMP1-H title between Porsche, Audi and Toyota. Porsche hasn’t competed in the top category for 16 years, so the pressure is on the new 919 Hybrid to see if it can live up to the…
Friday Video – Honda Civic Tourer BTCC Trophy Challenge
There’s no BTCC action this weekend, but instead Honda has released a video to promote the link between the Honda Civic Tourer road car, and the successes of its racing counterpart. We’ll be honest, it’s a little bit cringeworthy, but probably no more so than that Rockstar energy hat Shedden usually wears around the paddock. Don’t call…
Friday Photo – Audi A3 quattro clubsport concept
Yes, it’s another blue Audi, and whilst this one might not have lasers for headlights it does pack a whole host of other cool stuff. Not least a 518 bhp engine and a air-brake that works to cut stopping distances; on a compact saloon! Audi’s A3 and S3 saloon offerings have only been around for…
Friday Photo – BMW M5 30 Jahre Edition
Along with your humble writer, BMW’s M5 supersaloon also hits the big three-oh this year. To celebrate the M5’s three decades in production, BMW has released a limited edition packing big horsepower and special finishing touches. Better than a cake and candles. Only 30 cars will be offered for sale in the UK, out of a global…
