A supercar is a term used for a
sports car, typically an exotic or rare one, whose performance is highly superior to its contemporary sports cars. The proper application of this term is
subjective and disputed, especially among enthusiasts. In addition, the use of the term is dependent on the era; a vehicle that is considered to be a supercar at one time may not retain its superiority in the future. Nonetheless, the
automotive press frequently calls new exotic cars "supercars".
