Is a McLaren 570s A Supercar?
Discussion
McLaren categorise it as Sports Series. Whereas 650s, 720s etc are Super Sports.
I would definitely categorise the 570s as a “Supercar” though. In my “subjective” opinion.
How long will it be before someone pops up analogising that because their R8 is a Supercar, so should a 570s be....?

As per title, is the 570s a supercar?
Does it pass the critical tests?The pub bragging rights test (0-60, top speed, power).
The badge test (if you tell someone the make do they assume you drive an SUV).
The school playground test (if parked near a school will it immediately be surrounded by kids taking photos)
The exclusivity test (It is beyond the means of 98% of people to own, even if they really want one)
570s passes all the tests comfortably.
So "your friend's" main criteria for buying a Mac is whether or not other people think it's a supercar?
Tell you what - I can save him a load of money...
"it is my honest opinion, and that of many other people, that a blinged up Saxo with a f**k off massive exhaust is a supercar".

Yep, agree with everything Murphy says there, 570s is a supercar in my book
The R8 is not

I mentioned that the R8 definitely is not a supercar to a owner on here once. You would think I had insulted his wife with the venom of his defenceI'm in mixed minds over the R8 performance parts edition and it's supercar status however, the old V8 would be obliterated by most modern hot hatches.
