What is your definition of a Supercar ?

[boba fett]

For me, its a little easier - it was or is a car you or your kids put on your wall, screen saver, or the likes, it was something that draws a crowd, that makes people stop, stare or snap there neck to look at. Something that's parked and is photo'd, or Video'd by others. A car you see once in a blue moon and when you do you say "did you see that" I am not sure Porsches do that, they go under the radar a bit, most just see it as a Porsche unless you are into cars and in the know.

Well I would sneak it in just, what about the new Corvette C8 carbon tub etc? There is only an imaginary line, but then comes the snobbery, that I see occasionally with Porsche cars, I was going to be doing a charity event with car and my AMG C63s Coupe was no good but a Caterham and a Basic Cayman was fine, you had to pay fee to charity as well.
it seems some see any Porsche as a special sports car?

No Porsche are not super cars with exception of the million pound models which are.

Even then, to the untrained eye, they are just a Porsche with a wing on the back.

The local GT2 RS the red one I would be astonished if that’s not a supercar if I’m honest fair enough it ain’t in the V8-12 , but the tech and performance gets it up there, IMHO, 918 In the next level above supercar two local here

RS models are super cars.

A few years back I never understood Porsche alert from classic stuff, but after milling over cars looking at them and at Goodwood and speaking to owners, I started to appreciate what they are about and can do

RS models are super cars.

Even a GT4 , there is where I have a line to me it’s a special sports cars , but not a supercar, but that’s just how I view it, after spending time researching and looking at Porsche cars in more detail, I had no interest in them up until last few years, apart from old wide body stuff.
I must admit meeting Magnus Walker in Aberdeen, and following him on FB, got Me looking at the brand closer , he is such a great guy that inspired my son with his humble beggingS in Venice beach a place we visited a few years back while touring about US

A GT4 is not a Supercar, its bloody good car for the money, but no list £65k car with relatively low bhp is a Supercar, especially a Cayman !!
