ems that so many cars these days are catching the tag "supercar" that don't really deserve it. So what really makes a supercar a supercar? We turned to the opinions of people we know, respect, and trust in the auto industry, whether that be writers, editors, photographers, racecar drivers, or videographers, to find the answer. To get the conversation going, we prompted them with these questions:

How would you classify something being a supercar? How would you define a car as being "super?"
Or what about a hypercar—where is that line? How do you think the term is overused/misused? Are there any cars that are widely considered supercars that you don'tactually think are supercars? Do you think that older supercars that have stats that aren't really impressive now should still be called supercars? Some responded with a simple but effective paragraph, others responded by directly answering each question, and several responded with mini essays, describing exactly how this word has been shaped. See what they all had to say ahead.
