Pretty poor program. Nice to see all the cars of course but it lacked a theme. It just jumped around history willy nilly.

Oh, and my mistake. It was Quentin 'wheres my tweed coat and slippers' Wilson, and not Tiffany.

What ARE the true ingredients that make a supercar?



Good question, conventional wisdom suggests entry level power is about 400bhp, normally 2 seats, V12 engine of either front or more normally mid layout. Price should be more than a house and the cost if it ever went wrong more than you can afford. Oh and if its Itallian then it helps, must be handmade and very costly to run....i think thats a supercar...oh and it must to an abolute minimum of 186mph (300kmh) or perferably something on the far side of 200mph

Just check out all the supercars listed as such in the back of Evo magazine sometime. Cars ranging from the 911 price bracket up to Zonda levels. For your average guy in the street these are out of reach, so help their supercar tag. A Mitsubihi Evo may well have the pace but it doesn't have the price tag, so doesn't make it in there. Some cars have the price tag but not the sporty handling, so end up in the GT section.
