supercar is one of the highest classes for cars. These cars are typically the best of the best, and are in extremely limited quantities. Supercars are exotic cars, and that means they have great style, as well as incredible performance. These cars are among the fastest in the world, and have the best sport handling out there. A supercar has a certain mystique associated with it. They are usually limited to a certain amount of vehicles built, that way there is some type of exclusivity to own one. Not only is the price usually in the hundreds of thousands, but it becomes a status symbol to own one of these cars.

Some of them have horsepower numbers higher than 1,000. V8 engines are nothing compared to the normal V10 and even V12 engines that supercars usually have
