What defines a supercar?
Discussion
Whoosh, everyone is a winner ?
Had wondered where all the pork fanboys had gone 😁
Soz but everytime I see any of the above I still cant see beyond a £5k boxster on the local council estate and its that association with the mass produced bottom end that taints the brand IMHO.
Since 997 porsche have also built far too many GT products IMHO
Same with Audi for me
Both good sports cars though but not special or super enough for me personally

Can’t be defined by maker. Plenty of makers make super cars and normal cars.
My take:
- 190mph plus top speed.
- sub 4 0-60
- expensive to buy: £100-120k min buy in
- has ridiculously wide rear tyres
- noisy
- quick round corners as well as in a straight line
- is desirable
Tick all 7 boxes and it’s a supercar.

Genuine proper supercar makers ONLY make SUPERcars IMHO.My take:

Mass produced normal cars dilute the brand and will always have that association with the general public hence the "nice audi mate" comments R8 owners regularly get.
Its a supercar in terms of performance but its not a "Super"car in terms of status and pecking order

supercars is what get you excited about-
Ferrari/Lamborghini,Mclaren brands tick all the boxes but then you get the other brands top models. I suppose it depends on personnel taste.
Tick all the boxes apart from performance lol?Ferrari/Lamborghini,Mclaren brands tick all the boxes but then you get the other brands top models. I suppose it depends on personnel taste.
Which is what a supercar is all about unless you are into Kings Road cruising for oiks.
This is 'just' the lowly Turbo S trouncing the 720S:

Ferrari Mondial. Disqualifies all other Ferraris, incl a La Ferrari. Mass produced normal cars dilute the brand and will always have that association with the general public hence the "nice audi mate" comments R8 owners regularly get.

Porsche Boxster. Disqualifies all other Porsches, incl a Carrera GT and a 918.
Lambo Urus. Disqualifies all other Lambos incl an Aventador SV.
Aston Martin Cygnet. Disqualifies all other Astons incl an AM Valkyrie.
You’re confusing one off hypercar makers with supercars.
