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?

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…
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.
Friday Photo – New Mercedes-AMG F1 Safety Car and Medical Car
By the time you’ll be reading this, the 2015 Formula 1 season will have already started with the first practice sessions in Melbourne.

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…
Geneva 2015 – The Mercedes-Benz G 500 4×4² – Not for sale?
Nope, we don’t really know what’s going on with the world anymore. Perhaps winning the Formula 1 World Championship last year has sent Mercedes-Benz a little mad. But, for whatever reason, they’ve built this fluorescent yellow/green monster. Mercedes wants to stress that this G500 4×4² is only a show car. But one that’s almost production ready, and with a 4.0…
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. It might seem like we’re repeating ourselves, but it really is good to see the US car industry returning to form. Here are…
EngageSportMode Awards 2014 – Part Two
If you’ve read part one of our 2014 Awards, you’ll be ready for part two. This instalment concentrates on motorsport and media, compared to the purely mechanical slant of the first instalment. So, providing you’ve appropriately recovered from New Year’s Eve, here we go. There’s another five awards to be dished out, so without any further delay,…
Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupé – Answering a question nobody asked?
We’ll cut to the chase. Here at EngageSportMode we’re not huge fans of SUV based ‘coupé’ creations like the BMW X6, so a new offering from Mercedes-Benz is not really the early Christmas present we were wanting. We fully respect the right of people to drive what they want, and manufacturers to create what they see the…
New – The 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG Shooting Brake
Still needing a small performance wagon, but not taken with the VW Golf R Estate from last week? In something that seems to be the beginning of a trend, here’s Mercedes-Benz with their CLA 45 AMG Shooting Brake to give you yet another option. Launched alongside regular versions of the new CLA Shooting Brake, this…
