The end of 2015 is fast approaching so when our newest, and youngest, contributor suggested a rundown of the top new cars of 2015 we said yes! Ned has put together a list of the hottest metal from the past twelve months, so read on to see which one takes the glory. Well, 2015, nobody can deny…

Friday Photo – Frankfurt 2015 Gallery
This year’s Frankfurt Motor Show proved to be fairly impressive, with a host of big names revealing new products and concepts. Incredibly, this even included cars that hadn’t been previewed in a press release weeks beforehand! Who knew that was still possible? We’ve picked out some of the notable cars making an appearance in Germany. ESM actually spent the first…
Friday Photo – NE1 Newcastle Motor Show Gallery
In something that seems to be worryingly turning into a trend, the North East saw yet another automotive event take place here at the weekend. Naturally, ESM headed along to check things out. The NE1 Motor Show, chiefly backed by the Benfield dealership empire, aimed to bring both new and classic cars right to the centre…
Audi RS 7 takes to the track by itself. Almost.
Audi has been playing around with autonomous cars for a while now, but stepped things up a notch by letting an RS 7 pilot itself around the Sonoma Raceway in California. Whilst it might be driverless, this car does at least have a name. It’s ‘Robby’ and he’s packing the same 552bhp, from a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8,…
2015 Goodwood Festival of Speed – The Racers Gallery
Whilst the Festival of Speed has grown to become the de facto British motor show, it’s still all about the epic racing cars that tackle the hill climb course. Our second 2015 gallery features some of the exotic and expensive machinery found in the paddock.
2015 Le Mans Gallery – Porsche takes historic 17th win with 1-2 finish
Ok, we’ll hold our hands up. We didn’t predict this in our Friday Photo Gallery. Nope, we overlooked the pace of the Porsches in qualifying and, instead, went for another Audi victory. We were wrong, even if we had predicted it a year ago. But congratulations to Porsche for surprising us with a rather impressive 1-2 win! In what…
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…
SMMT Test Day 2015 – One day, Twelve cars [Part 2/3]
Round two of our SMMT 2015 mega-test continues, with a further batch of four cars. By mid-morning had we picked any more winners from the 170 on offer? Part one can be found here, if you need to read that first. As a way to build up an appetite for lunch, two performance Renaults and…
New Audi R8 LMS wins 2015 Nürburgring 24 Hours
With all the road car testing that goes on there, it’s sometimes easy to forget that the Nürburgring is still a real – and dangerous – race track. The Nürburgring 24 Hours remains one of the biggest challenges in motorsport, but Audi took victory last weekend. To say the new Audi R8 LMS was box-fresh at its Nürburgring debut was perhaps…
Audi TT clubsport turbo concept – News and photos
Another Wörthersee show car, but this time with crazy turbocharging and orange detailing? Consider our interest piqued! We’ve already mentioned Skoda’s concept efforts in advance of the annual Wörthersee festival which kicks off today, but Audi has gone decidedly all out with this mental TT clubsport turbo concept. However, there’s more than just mental bodywork – much of…
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 – Audi Prologue Allroad Concept Car
The growing importance of the Chinese market for upmarket brands cannot be ignored. Which is probably why Audi has decided to show off the third “Prologue” concept car at the Shanghai Auto Show this weekend. Make no mistake, this is a seriously big Audi. At 5.13 metres long, this is a car of rather epic proportions,…
