What makes a supercar?

Asking what makes a car super is like asking what makes a woman beautiful-everyone has their own opinion.

The term supercar was coined to describe a car that is very expensive, very beautiful, and very fast. However, the proper use of this term is often subjective and controversial, especially among enthusiasts. There is no clear definition of the characteristics that a car must be a supercar. What makes up a supercar is often a matter of opinion. Also, the use of this term is highly time-dependent-cars that were once considered supercars may lose their advantage in the future.

It is also important to know that the term refers to factory-made, normally unmodified, street legal cars. Significantly modified and potentially on the road-illegal vehicles do not fall into the supercar category. Supercars are not muscle cars or tuned sports cars. And there is no such thing as a discounted supercar.

Supercars combine speed, handling and unique design to represent the pinnacle of automakers’ art. It is a car equivalent to a super model or a racehorse. Of course, there are some basic criteria for measuring whether a car should be considered a supercar. Things to consider: design, acceleration, top speed, handling, power-to-weight ratio, style, rarity, price-all of these must be supercars and supercars.

Want an example? This is a prime example-Bugatti Veyron.

The Bugatti Veyron is currently (2007) the most expensive (about $ 1.5 million) and fastest full street legal car in the world. The Guinness Book of Records included Bugatti Veyron under the heading “Fastest Production Car”. With 1001 horsepower, this supercar champion is equipped with all the latest car advances and can reach top speeds of 253 mph (407 km / h). This is faster than any production car ever made and actually faster than a Formula 1 car. Supercars are not just fast, they are very fast.

Other supercars include the Koenigsegg CCX, Pagani Zonda, McLaren F1, Saleen S7 Twin Turbo, Enzo Ferrari and Lamborghini Murcielago.

On the fun side, if you’re wondering if a car is a supercar, consider the following:

The car can be a supercar if:

• You have it wallpaper or poster

• It’s worth more than your home
• You drool when you see one
• You can break the speed limit in 1st speed
• You will probably never own it,
• But if you do, you never give Barrett the key.

In conclusion, a supercar is a car that changes your mind about what a car is and what it can do.
