Carwow Christmas Quiz 2024: how much of a car nerd are you?

Do your ears automatically twitch at the sound of an engine with more than four cylinders? Do you understand the difference between a boxer and a 180-degree vee-engine? Can you reliably identify a car just by looking at its air vents? Do people glaze over when you talk to them at parties?

If you answered yes to all of the above questions, then you may be a car nerd. Or car geek, we’re not judgy around here. Ah, but how big a car nerd are you? Can you tell us whether Ineos or DS sold fewer cars in the UK last year? Do you know which car maker’s logo was inspired by water chestnuts? And do you know which road car is the current Nurburgring lap record holder?

If so, then you may be the person to ace our fiendishly tricky Carwow quiz. Just tap go on the quiz above and start answering our surprisingly tricky multiple-choice questions. What will you win? Nothing! Well, not quite nothing, you’ll win the ability to boast about your truly arcane car knowledge, and be able to crown yourself King Car Nerd.

Of course, you’ll only be able to do all that if you get every single question right, and believe us, there are not many who will be able to do so. The questions seem easy at first, but as with all the best quizzes, there are some proper tripwires in there which are capable of bringing down the biggest car enthusiast egos.

So, brush up on your engine design knowledge. Do a little cramming on your production history stats. And definitely stare at a plate of water chestnuts and see which car company logo they most closely resemble. Once you’ve done all that, to battle! And may the best car nerd win.
