A few years ago, Donald Rumsfeld made an infamous speech talking about things we know, and don’t know about. Ahead of the Geneva Motor Show next week, we’ve got a gallery covering the new cars we already know will be there. That’s mainly because the manufacturers have already spoilt the surprise by showing them to us. The past few weeks…

Friday Video – Porsche Cayman GT4 vs. Ford Focus RS
Ok, there’s a little bit of artistic licence used in the title for today’s feature. But we do have ‘in-action’ footage of two of the hottest new cars from this week: the Porsche Cayman GT4 and the Ford Focus RS. Both of these caused the Twittersphere to descend into meltdown it seems, especially Porsche officially announcing the…
Finally Here – The New 2015 Ford Focus RS
When Ford releases details and pictures of a new car wearing the RS badge, it’s a big deal. Does the third instalment of the Focus RS live up to the hype, and successfully carry on the ‘Rallye Sport’ lineage? The biggest news is the fact the third generation Focus RS comes with All-Wheel-Drive. After almost 15…
What did we learn from the 2015 Detroit Auto Show?
As the first major event on the global automotive calendar, the North American International Auto Show sets the scene for the rest of the year to come. Yes, there’s a definite US-centric bias to a lot of the offerings on show, but many of the new cars will also be available globally. Check out the key…
Detroit 2015 – Friday Photo Gallery
The 2015 Detroit North American International Auto Show has been a pretty good one, to say the least. We’ve seen two brand new supercars, and a host of other special new models rolled out.

Detroit 2015 – All New Ford GT
Ford has made a massive effort to win the 2015 North American International Auto Show, on the first day, with the all new GT supercar. But will taking a thoroughly modern approach be enough to win fans this time round? If there has been a consistent theme to Detroit over the last twelve months, it’s one of a…
New – Revised Ford Focus ST
In all the Goodwood Festival of Speed and British Touring Car Championship excitement, the full details of the revised Ford Focus ST were also announced. So here they are, with lots of Tangerine Scream paintwork action. Did you know, ST stands for Sports Technologies. We’ll admit that we didn’t, until writing this, but consider us all…
New Ford Focus ST to debut at Goodwood Festival of Speed
You know it, we love the Ford Focus ST here at EngageSportMode. So much so that we awarded the ST Mountune Estate the prestigious ESM ‘best car driven in 2013‘ prize earlier this year. So news of a new one has got us understandably excited. Excited, and in suspense, as so far Ford is keeping tight-lipped…
Ford Zetec S – Red / Black Special Editions
Special editions of Ford’s supermini get bold colours, distinctive styling and a 1.0 litre engine with 140 PS! Yes, you read that right. A 1.0 litre engine producing 138 brake horsepower. I know; the mind just truly boggles. Think back only a few years and the Fiesta ST, with its 2.0 litre engine, was making only…
What did we learn from the 2014 Geneva Motor Show?
Here at EngageSportMode we’ve brought you a veritable banquet of new cars in the space of one short week.

Facelifted Ford Focus – Kind of a Big Deal
It’s hard to ignore the importance of a car which sold 1.1 million units in 2013, with over 87,000 examples registered in the UK alone. The Focus is a perennial best-seller for Ford, and the revised version is likely to be no different. Ford also promises it’s even better to drive, which sounds hopeful for a potential RS…
