What, exactly, makes a car a "Supercar"?

[MadCat360]

Nobody has yet given the response "Being super" yet? FinalGear, I am disappoint.

We're entirely too rational for that.

Supercar definition:
When the car is featured on Top Gear, it is tested by Jeremy Clarkson, unless it is any Porsche model.

Scripted cocking about doesn't count. Less super and more sub par.

Loud, brash, a bit vulgar, usually mid-engined, very expensive, very fast, mostly Italian, sometimes German, occasionally British or Japanese

Supercar

OP: btw asking for an 'exact' definition of a supercar is unrealistic and unfair. As the widely varied opinions given by this forums car experts and car manufacturer goes... there is no exact definition, or at the very least, nobody has any idea what they're talking about, car manufacturers included.

anyone agree/diagree with clarkson's flexible definition of a supercar?

Don't forget there are also Hypercars.
