About Car Arena
Eight competitions on reviewed photographs of production models introduced up to 2025. Name the car, search for it, pick its maker, the maker’s country or its body style, enter the year it first went on sale, match photographs to names, or uncover five hidden names letter by letter.
The bank is fixed and not kept current: models introduced after 2025 are not included. Every fact is checked against two sources, and a model sold in several body styles counts for any of them.
How to play
- Goal
- Recognize the world’s production car models from photographs, and learn their makers, the makers’ countries, first years and body styles.
- How it ends
- Finish ten questions, ten pairs or five hidden names, exhaust the sprint clock, or make one sprint mistake.
- Record
- Best score, highest year reserve, fastest matching finish or fewest wrong letters, with time and the player’s name.
- Recognition Sprint: choose the pictured car from eight names in 90 seconds; one wrong answer ends the run.
- Name Search, Maker, Country, Body Style: ten photographs; a wrong answer scores nothing. Most correct wins, then time.
- First Year: enter the year a model first went on sale. Each year outside the sourced range costs a point, at most 100.
- Matching Table and Letter Hunt: pair ten photographs with names, or uncover five hidden names; fewest errors wins.

Good to know
Every photograph retains its creator, chosen licence, original title and source links; Full photo credit opens the complete attribution. Opening full credits during a question, leaving the tab, restoring an unfinished run or a mid-run photo-loading interruption makes that attempt practice.

Questions
Are new cars included?
No. Car Arena covers production models introduced up to 2025 and is not kept current.
Why does Body Style accept several answers?
A model sold as hatchback and estate counts for either.
Why is a famous car missing?
Every car needs a reviewed photograph with no readable name on it and a licence that allows reuse.
