Sports car

A sports car is an automobile planned for performance driving. Most sports cars are rear-wheel drive, have two seats, two doors, and are designed for exact handling, speeding up, and aesthetics. A sports car's dominant considerations can be superior road handling, braking, maneuverability, low weight, and high power, rather than traveler space, comfort, and fuel economy.

Sports cars can be either comfortable or Spartan, but lashing mechanical performance is the key attraction. Drivers regard brand name and the following racing reputation and history (for example, Ferrari, Porsche, Lotus) as important indications of sporting quality, but brands such as Lamborghini, which do not competition or build racing cars, are also awfully regarded.

A car may be a sporting car without being a sports car. Performance modifications of regular, production cars, such as sport compacts, sports sedans, muscle cars, hot hatches and the like, normally are not sports cars, yet share traits general to sports cars. Frequently, performance cars of all configurations are grouped as Sports and GT cars, or, infrequently, as performance cars.
