Supercar is a general term used for high-end sports car or race cars that has a superior performance as compared to its coevals.

Supercar is also used as a subjective term. Most of the supercars are imported from various countries with unique and authentic features that make them stand in a crowd. Over a period of time, if other cars prove to have better performance then the previous car loses its status of uniqueness and high performance. The elusive title of supercar is no more credited to that car. This clearly dictates that with every changing generation of cars, the title gets shifted from one car to another.

The concept of supercar has changed over a period of time. Earlier, the term was associated with sports car or race cars but now the definition has slightly modified. In the present era, supercars are expensive, fast, and powerful cars with sporty handling.

The first car that was given the title of supercar was the Lamborghini Miura. After the introduction of this title for Miura, many other supercars have been designed and built for everyday driving. Among the list of countless supercars round the world, not all are race cars. Some of them even exempt of the basic features attributed to sports car.

The basic attribute that defines a supercar is the centrally located engine. This gives an excellent engine performance because the entire weight of the car is loaded in the centre which increases the ability of the car to handle high speed with greater efficiency. This also increases the comfort level of the driver to have greater steering control.
