(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Recently a member was talking about exotic cars in the shoutbox. And the typical brands were mentioned, Lamborghini and Ferrari. The Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 was brought up, I will acknowledge that the car can reach speeds of 217 miles per hour. Now without a doubt that is fast, faster than the majority of production cars.


The question is this, what do you consider a supercar?


To me those were once supercars. They may still be radical in design and performance, and the craftsmanship... superb. However they cannot compare to the likes of a Bugatti or Hennessey. Surely millions have heard of Bugatti, but Hennessey, most likely car tuning enthusiast are the only ones who know about Hennessey. Maybe I’m wrong about using the word supercar, could these two companies manufacture the first hypercar or are they already in that league thus leaving behind Ferrari and Lamborghini?

haha but yes, unaware need to realize supercars must be factory-built, not some chop shop creation. It might be blazing fast - but it is not a supercar.

I think it is anything that is exotic and has a v10+ motor on it.

Cylinders don't determine a car. A overused example, but an R35 has a V6, but is widely retarded as a super car.

Don't get me wrong they are beautiful cars (Not the Bugatti), and fast as well, but they are just meant for show nowadays. Rich people who can't drive for shit own them and that makes these cars look like toys, and it's why they are widely known among young people. I am no car enthusiast but do some research and you will come to know of cars that do have racing history and should be known more of as 'supercars' rather than Bugattis and Lamborghinis.



that is what i mean Smile
