Hennessey Mammoth 6×6 | For when a 2021 Ram TRX is not enough
Bigger is undoubtedly better when it comes to the American pickup truck market. Hennessey Performance seems intent on surpassing all others with the ridiculous Mammoth 6×6. Typically, the question as to whether the world needs a six-wheel drive pickup, powered by a 1,200hp engine would seem unnecessary. Yet here in 2020, nothing really seems to…
Friday photo and video | 2019 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye
Things are far from perfect in America, but at least they’re still churning out muscle cars with ridiculous horsepower. Before we begin, it might be worth pointing out that since introduction in 2008, the LC platform Challenger has been built at Chrysler’s Brampton Assembly plant in Ontario. That’s Ontario, Canada. So a certain US President…
SEMA 2017 | SpeedKore makes a Demon lighten up
The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon managed to impress immediately, but SpeedKore Performance Group wanted to take things even further. Rare is the person who, when first presented with Dodge’s street-legal dragster SRT Demon, thought “how do we make it even faster” and get to work doing something about it. However, that’s exactly what Wisconsin-based SpeedKore did….
SEMA 2017 | Ten cars we want to ‘Hellcrate’ right now
The announcement that Mopar is offering a 707hp Hellcat engine ‘off the shelf’ has got us thinking. What better day than Halloween to come up with some Frankenstein-esque creation. If you can find $19,530 (£14,800) you too can add a 6.2-litre supercharged HEMI engine to pretty much whatever you want. This got us thinking about…
SEMA 2017 | Make anything into a Hellcat with a Mopar crate motor
The 2017 Speciality Equipment Market Association show kicks off tomorrow, but Dodge has already stolen headlines with a very special box. What’s in the box? Oh, you know, just a 6.2-litre Supercharged HEMI V8 engine with 707hp and 650lb-ft of torque. Yes indeed, Mopar has announced that the terrifying motor found in the Challenger and…
New Metal | 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody
America is in a rather strange situation politically at the moment. Thankfully, things are just as crazy in the world of muscle cars. How better to improve on the Challenger SRT Hellcat than by making it wider? Yes, it’s another Mopar creation on EngageSportMode. No, we’re not sponsored by Dodge. Although if Sergio Marchionne wants…
Engage Drag Mode | 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon | More details
It turns out we didn’t dream it, and Dodge really did release the most-powerful muscle car ever early this morning. Now that it’s actually sunk in, what does the SRT Demon actually deliver? Forgive us if our post this morning was a little short on detail. In our defence, it was almost 2am, and we had endured…
Video | New 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon
Dodge has seemingly founds its niche, which is producing ridiculous muscle cars with increasingly insane levels of performance. After the Hellcat now comes the Demon, which Dodge has hyped and teased to within an inch of its life. Was it worth the wait? Let’s cut to the chase. This is essentially a street-legal dragster, with 840hp…
New | 2018 Dodge Durango SRT | HEMI muscle for the whole family!
Ever felt the need to subject five other people to the gut-wrenching sensation of being in a Hemi-powered muscle car? You’re in luck! Does everything in the Dodge lineup really need a 392-cubic inch HEMI V8 engine? Where does this all stop? With the Durango SUV gaining the 6.4-litre engine, it now means 60% of…
Go Mango! Retro colour option for Dodge SRT Hellcat models
EngageSportMode likes cars that are painted orange. It also likes the Dodge SRT Hellcat twins. Someone, somewhere, has been listening to our prayers it would seem. Thank you! We’re not sure which sacrifice, offering or blessing it was that made this happen – we’re just pleased one of them worked. Joking aside, the option to purchase…

As the first big event of the year, the North American International Auto Show offers the chance to spot trends we might see for the rest of the year.
