Default So, is it or isn't it
Hear the term 'supercar' all the time. McLaren, Lamborghini, AMG, etc. Are our LC's considered a supercar? The only place I can find them referenced as such is on a Lexus themed blog. What do you think?

not a supercar. super car would be from a more exotic marque that has low volume production and significantly faster speeds.

Definitely not. The only area where it is supercar-like (and probably why some people apply the supercar label to it) is the way it looks

It's arguably not even a sports car but rather a sporty GT car. Definitely not a supercar.

LaFerrari - Super Car

Enzo - Super Car

F50 - Super Car

F40 - Super Car





LC 500, A nice touring car.

The End.

I would describe these are hypercars vs supercars. Definitely the LaFerrari is a hypercar along with P1 and 918 Spyder. McLaren 720S and Ferrari F8 are supercars.

The "Supercar" definition has had its' goalpost moved several times in the last decades.
However, Hypercar still applies to a car over a $million.
