Editing a website like EngageSportMode often means there are articles you cannot wait to write, and there are those you never want to have to write. This Friday Photo Archive falls somewhere between them; but too close to the ‘never want to’ end of the spectrum than is comfortable. As ever with serious motorsport accidents, it has…

Paris 2014 – Friday Photo – The Volkswagen Polo GTI (again)
Full disclosure; we only featured the new Polo GTI as a Friday photo two weeks ago. But, to coincide with the full launch of the car at the Paris Motor Show, Volkswagen revealed more details of the baby GTI. Including one that’s very important to EngageSportMode. The XL Sport may have stolen the show in Paris,…
Friday Video – Tame Geek / ESM Audi S1 Sportback quattro Review
You may recall our recent written review of the Audi S1 Sportback quattro, in which we raved about its performance and road holding. However, as part of a collaboration between regular EngageSportMode contributor, The Tame Geek, we also put together a video review of the baby Ingolstadt hot hatch. Put simply, this is the completely unscripted discussion and debate,…
Friday Photo – New Polo GTI
Having owned a total of six Polos amongst the team of EngageSportMode’s contributors, it’s fair to say we’re fans of the Volkswagen supermini. We’re even bigger fans when it comes to the GTI version, with ESM’s editor describing his beloved 6N2 GTI as ‘the best car he’s ever owned’. So excitement was understandably high when photos…
Friday Photo – Audi S1 Sportback quattro in Teesdale
Our full review will be out this weekend but, for now, here’s a teaser photo of the Audi S1 next to one of the North East’s best driving roads. Thanks to the very generous people at Newcastle Audi, we were lucky enough to spend 24 hours with the S1 Sportback earlier this week. Suffice to say we were…
Friday Video – Audi Sport Quattro S1
In anticipation of something special that’s coming to EngageSportMode next week, here’s a video featuring what is probably the most famous rally car ever; the Audi Quattro, shown here in short wheelbase Sport Quattro S1 form. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AQmgeMoM0A Quite frankly, we could spend hours listening to that five-cylinder Quattro sound, so we’re sure it’ll help you pass a few minutes on a…
Friday Video – Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat
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…
BMW i8 – Tame Geek First Drive and Review
How does he do it? We’re not quite sure, but our good friend The Tame Geek managed to get himself behind the wheel of the BMW i8 electric supercar for a test drive. We bring you his full thoughts that first premiered on his own website. After having a great time in BMW’s electric (and somewhat…
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…
