Crossword Genius

Red motor belonging to me (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

carmine

'red' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'motor belonging to me' is the wordplay.
'motor' becomes 'car' (informal term for car).
'belonging to me' becomes 'mine' (I've seen this before).
'car'+'mine'='CARMINE'

(Other definitions for carmine that I've seen before include "Crimson pigment" , "Bright red" , "Vivid red colour" .)
