“Once upon a time”
Super/Sports cars. There once was a time when these cars were the kings of the road. When supercars were the best and fastest cars that you could buy, and sports cars were second in line. Oh, how things have changed!
In the motoring world we live today, things have turned upside down in the chain of command and we are seeing all kinds of ridiculousness. That said, you can now buy a family saloon car with the same power as that in a supercar and is just as fast as a supercar whilst being more practical. No brainer! You go for the family saloon being more practical and you save yourself around 100K. Bargain!
It’s a shame to think that these once legendary cars are struggling to find a place in todays motoring society. Even hatchbacks are starting to gain on the supercars! Nevertheless, Supercars and sports cars are still being made and there are some good ones too. For instance, the return of the Supra, or not so supra should I say? Moving swiftly on before I start any arguments we also have the Aston Martin Vantage, Ferrari Roma, Huracan in the supercar category. In the Sports cars we have the M2 Comp, GT86, Fiat 124, Mazda MX5…. The list goes on and on.
Now, you’re probably wondering what determines the difference between a ‘supercar’ and a ‘Sportscar’. Well a sports car is considered as, ‘a low-built car designed for performance at high speeds, often having a roof that can be folded back’. This is true, a sports car in my opinion, is typically a car that has good handling, looks sporty and usually has less than a six-figure price tag. A supercar is defined online as, ‘A high-performance sports car’. So, as you can see the two types of cars go hand in hand. Give your sports car a boost of POWER and stick a zero on the end of the price tag and you have a supercar, right?
Theoretically yes, in reality no. This is a subject where differentiating between the two types of car has always been a mystery. In this section of the blog, hopefully, some clarity can be shed on the matter, and those of you that are still reading by this point, will be able to identify the difference between these two types of automobiles.
