Okay, before getting into detail, let's be very, very clear. Your thread title should, at a minimum, be the car's:
in that order.
Whatever else goes in there, the Make must be the first thing, the Model must be the second thing, and the Year must be the last thing.
After that, refer to the guidelines below. Note that the square brackets are there to show the demarcation in the components of the title, and should not be included in the final, finished title:
Road Cars
Single generation with no major changes and no differences in specification: [Make] [Model] [Year]
Example: [Koenigsegg] [ONE:1] [2014]
= Koenigsegg ONE:1 2014
Single generation with no major changes but different specifications: [Make] [Model] [Specific Trim] [Specific Engine, if applicable] [Year]
Example: [Bugatti] [Veyron] [Bleu Centenaire] [2009]
= Bugatti Veyron Bleu Centenaire 2009
Multiple generations of single specification cars: [Make] [Model] [(Generation)] [Year]
Example: [Volkswagen] [Golf] [(Mk2)] [GTi 16v] [1986]
= Volkswagen Golf (Mk2) GTI 16V 1986
Example: [Vauxhall] [Corsa] [D] [VXR] [2007]
= Vauxhall Corsa (D) VXR 2007
Multiple generations with different specifications: [Make] [Model] [Generation] [Specific Trim/Specific Engine] [Year]
Example: [Alfa Romeo] [Giulietta] [1300 Spider] [1957]
= Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1300 Spider 1957
Aftermarket, OE kit or heavily modified tuner road cars
[Make] [Model] [[Details] by [Tuner/Stylist]] [Year]
Example: [BMW] [M4 (F82)] [Styled by Hamann] [2014]
= BMW M4 (F82) Styled by Hamann 2014
Race Cars
Spec series or control car, to be used as base model: [Make] [Model] [Series] [Year]
Example: [Spark-Renault] [SRT01E] [Formula E] [2014]
= Spark-Renault SRT01E Formula E 2014
Specific racing model: [[Make] [Model] OR [[Chassis] [Engine]] [Series/Level if applicable] [Team] [Number/Drivers if applicable] [Year]
Example: [McLaren] [MP4/8] [Lamborghini] [1993]
= McLaren MP4/8 Lamborghini 1993
Example: [Peugeot] [306 Cosworth] [BTRDA Rally Car] [#9 Andy Burton] [2011]
= Peugeot 306 Cosworth BTRDA Rally Car #9 Andy Burton 2011
Example: [Toyota] [Avensis] [BTCC] [Handy Motorsport] [#11 Simon Belcher] [2014]
= Toyota Avensis BTCC Handy Motorsport #11 Simon Belcher 2014
Cars that do not yet exist in production form are either Concepts (cars which preview styling and may not necessarily be functional) or Prototypes (functional cars that often largely represent the eventual product):
Concept Cars
[Make] [Model] [Concept] ([Event First Shown]) [Year First Shown]
Example: [Ford] [EX] [Concept] [2001]
= Ford EX Concept 2001
Prototype Cars
[Make] [Model] [Prototype] ([Event First Shown]) [Year First Shown]
Example: [Infiniti] [Q60] [Project Black S Prototype] [2019]
= Infiniti Q60 Project Black S Prototype 2019
In all cases [Year] must be a four digit year and the first year of production or competition unless a specific year of production or competition is required.
Do not include special characters in your titles (particularly accents on things like the S of Skoda).
There may be exceptions and things I haven't thought of yet. Please feel free to PM me if you need advising on appropriate titling.
