The British Touring Car Championship returns this weekend, with the action taking place at Oulton Park. Our BTCC Correspondent recaps what happened last time out at Thruxton. Thruxton may be home to the fastest corner on the BTCC calendar, but the latest rounds won’t be remembered for being a classic. Other than the incidents of…
Friday Video | Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT drag race
We’re not shy about being fans of Hemi power here at EngageSportMode, even when placed in something slightly inappropriate like an SUV. This video might demonstrate why. Hurrah, we can use our preferred ‘nobody needs one, but we still love’ line again! The Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT is totally unnecessary, but we still love the…
News | Porsche produces one-millionth 911
It might have taken over 53 years of production, but Porsche has finally built the one-millionth version of the 911. It’s green, and a little bit hipster. Painted ‘Irish Green’ in fact, and apparently inspired by a colour used on a 911 owned by the founder of the company – Ferry Porsche. Put together by…
BTCC 2017 | Donington Park – What did we learn?
The first race weekend in the 2017 British Touring Car Championship failed to excite our correspondent. What did he take away from Donington Park? After a rather tepid affair at Brands Hatch last time out, the action and drama heated up at Donington Park on a weekend marred by the horrific injuries suffered by Billy…
New Metal | 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk
In all the excitement surrounding the SRT Demon, we almost overlooked the fact that Jeep slipped out the most-powerful production SUV at the same time. It involves the Hemi Hellcat engine, so we should probably take a closer look. It must only be a matter of time before every product sold by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in the USA…
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…
BTCC 2017 | Brands Hatch Indy – What did we learn?
British Touring Car Championship fans rejoiced at the weekend as the first of ten Sundays were taken over by the sound of purring engines and screeching tyres. After the first round of action, what have we learnt? With the grid being as strong as ever, it was important that reigning champion Gordon Shedden made a…
Opinion | Are new cars actually getting more expensive?
The new Volkswagen Golf, and the excellent revised GTI in particular, got us wondering. Just how much more expensive are new cars compared to their predecessors? Having already won rave reviews from both print and online media, the Mk7.5 Volkswagen Golf GTI is already attracting attention. Yet a lot of the Internet comments seem to take…
Geneva 2017 | Lamborghini Huracán Performante
It’s bright orange, it’s got a huge rear wing, and it’s a Lamborghini. Of course we were going to feature the new Huracán Performante on EngageSportMode. The Performante is hardly a well-kept secret, as disguised test versions have been spotted out in the wild for months. We’ve also already seen the video of Lamborghini setting…
Ned Jasper | 2017 Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo
Ned Jasper is back, and he’s got the latest on the latest addition to the Porsche model range. It’s not rear-engined, but there’s certainly a lot going on out back! I’m told that good things come to those who wait. So, considering the Panamera Sport Turismo is the first Porsche estate car to leave Stuttgart…
New | Mercedes-Maybach G 650 Landaulet | Ultimate G
This could quite possibly be the weirdest answer to a question nobody has asked. Or, the perfect gift for the person who genuinely does already have everything. This G-Class is ideal for the crazy world of 2017. Important things first – the G 650 Landaulet is not going to be offered for sale in the UK. Sorry. We’re sure…
