A performance car is a car that exhibits above-average capabilities in one or more of the following areas: acceleration (torque and throttle response), top speed (horsepower), cornering and braking.[1] It is debated how much performance is required to move classification from standard to high performance.
Classification
[edit]Further classification of performance cars is possible in the following categories:
- Grand tourer — a luxury performance car designed for high speed and long-distance driving
- Hot hatch — a high-performance version of mass-produced hatchback model
- Muscle car — a large American rear-wheel drive car with a V8 engine
- Sports sedan — a high-performance version of a sedan model
- Supercar — an expensive high-end sports car, with hypercars being the most expensive and fastest supercars.
