The number of performance estates seems to have expanded massively in recent years but, here at ESM, that’s not enough for us. No, we’re greedy, and we want to see even more quick wagons on the market. To help we’ve come up with a septet that we think should happen. These aren’t just ‘pie in the sky’ ideas – we’ve…

Friday Photo – Detroit 2016 Gallery
Red, white and – well, more red actually. Not the colours of the American flag, but the colours of pretty much everything on show at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show. Perhaps rouge is this colour of choice for motor show cars?
Detroit Auto Show 2016 – Hefty Trends
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. It also has the potential to prove if the US market is still obsessed with making the biggest stuff possible. Pickup trucks are getting more outrageous If there’s one…
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…
2015 Goodwood Festival of Speed – Moving Motor Show Gallery
ESM has been to the Goodwood Festival of Speed before – the last time back in 2012 – but this year was a little different. It started with a letter from the Earl of March inviting ESM to the Festival of Speed as a fully fledged member of the media. It ended with driving almost 700 miles…

It looks pretty much as the concept predicted although, sadly, the massive rear spoiler has been…
Friday Photo – The Geneva 2015 ‘known knowns’ Gallery
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…
More Info – The 167 mph 2015 Honda Civic Type-R
Honda, please, enough! We’ve been teased with videos, titillated with photos, and fed various factual tidbits for what seems like forever. The end is in sight, with the forthcoming Geneva Motor Show, but Honda is still keen to tantalise us up until the big reveal. Given how we were tormented with details and sneak peeks of the new…
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.
