Supercar

A high-performance sports car distinguished by exceptional speed, power, advanced engineering, and high price. The category has no universally fixed technical definition.

Aerodynamics: The study and application of how air moves around objects and exerts forces on them. Low drag and aerodynamic downforce let supercars combine high speed with stability.
Sports car: A car designed primarily to provide responsive handling and an engaging driving experience. Supercars are generally an exceptionally powerful, costly subset of the sports-car idea.
Lamborghini Miura: A mid-engined sports car produced by Lamborghini from 1966 to 1973. Its layout and performance helped establish the modern image of the supercar.
Automotive industry: The global industry that designs, manufactures, markets, and services motor vehicles. Supercars are low-volume products whose engineering can shape a manufacturer's identity and expertise.
Power-to-weight ratio: An engine's power output divided by the mass it must move. It helps explain why lightweight supercars can accelerate faster than heavier, more powerful cars.
Hypercar: An informal label for an exceptionally capable and costly class of high-performance cars. The term usually marks supercars at the extreme end of performance, price, or exclusivity.
Ferrari F40: A lightweight, twin-turbocharged Ferrari sports car produced from 1987 to 1992. Its stripped-back design and extreme performance became a defining expression of the category.
Automotive aerodynamics: The application of aerodynamic principles to the design and performance of road vehicles. Supercar solutions have helped make high-speed stability and drag reduction visible design priorities.
Mid-engine design: A vehicle layout placing its engine between the front and rear axles. This layout helps many supercars balance mass around the center of the car.
Grand tourer: A high-performance car designed for fast, comfortable travel over long distances. Grand tourers prioritize sustained comfort more than the sharp focus typical of supercars.
