The top of the tree in road motoring is the Supercar, Hypercars are a figment of peoples imagination, no such thing in my book. It's sports cars and then Supercars. For clarity however, THIS is a Supercar!

Just epic on all levels, only the Italians could design this, they invented the Supercar after all, just special special cars. I think I might PCP one.

Agree 100% it is an epic supercar, however Horacio is Argentinian.....

& it was just what the italians needed, someone coming in and doing an italian supercar better and wilder than they could!
 
Citation needed, because many wouldn't agree, myself included.

Nice Zonda.

Only Clarkson used the phrase, then suddenly it's caught on. They're all cars, anything else (supercar, hypercar, sportscar etc) is a colloquialism and the definition will change depending upon who you speak to, but they'll get the gist.

That's a hypercar in my book. Supercars don't have anywhere near that amount of carbon fibre, for example.
 
Sports cars:

MX5
Boxster
MR2
350 / 370z
Merk SLK
BMW Z4

GT Cars:

Aston DB9 / V8 Vantage
Ferrari 456 / 550 / 575 / 599 / 612
Maserati Grantourismo
911 Carrera / S / C4 / C4S

Supercars:

Aston DBS
Ferrari F430 / 458 / 360 / 355
Lambo Gallardo
McLaren MP4 12 whatever its called
R8 (pushing it)
911 GT3 / Turbo / GT2
Alfa 8C

Hypercars

McLaren F1
Zonda
Murcielago LPx (pushing it into this category)
Veyron
Konigsegg
Gumpert Apollo
Ferrari F40 / 50 / Enzo
Carrera GT

To me, its not just performance that separates the cars into their respective groups, but how special and exotic they appear to be. For example, a new Ferrari 458 Italia might be quicker than an F50, but it's not in the same league. Why? Because they won't be a particularly rare car. There isn't enough compromise in the vehicle and it all appears a bit too sane or ordinary, if you could ever call a Ferrari that.
