Discussion between two friends, neither of whom have had, nor driven a Cerbera (but at least one of whom loves them smile).

Is it a GT car, or a 'sportscar'?

One says it's too fast and bonkers ot be a GT, the other says it's too big to be a sportscar.

Or is it something else...?

Interesting problem...

It's definitely not a bicycle, because it's got four wheels...

Making lots of noise, see a gap, accelerate, fill the gap, change down, pop, pop, pop and start again, seriously it's just like this, i think the word is cerebral or is it Cerberal, swap 2 letters over, but it's the difference between head and heart

I know, sorry. My sense of humour appears to have taken on a greater than usual degree of warp tonight...

I'll talk to my nurse...

can the Cerbera do 300 miles in excess of 100 miles per hour constant? then by the classic definition it is a GT.

Easily - but so can a Ford Fiesta, a Diesel Laguna, a Mondeo and a Honda Civic.

The Cerbera is a 0-60 in 4 seconds, 180mph car.
It's a raw, bonkers, noisy hooligan car.
It's a surprisingly comfortable and refined 80mph motorway car.
It's a Cerbera biggrin

Its not quite comfortable enough to be a GT although it ticks most of thoses boxes.
Its more than a sports car.
Its more race car for the road.
Its more supercar than sports car.
Ultimately its a hybrid?
Its a supersports?

it cant be a hybrid as the electrics dont work long enough for it to class as one.It cant be a GT car as it wont do 300 miles at over 100mph without stopping for gogo juice therefore dear holmes it must be a sports car. now ive solved this its time for my medication.

I have been told that the 4.5 was going to be called the GT version

Wasn't the larger fuel tank an effort to make it a GT car?

May be doing it an injustice, but I describe it as as 'sort of sports coupe with attitude'...?
