Sports cars and supercars are luxuries, not commodities. They are the polar opposites of regular cars, since they are built to fulfill needs that go above and beyond getting from one point to another. Maneuverability, nimble handling, stability, and agility are at the heart of a supercar’s performance.
Here are some other differences between supercars and regular ones:
Fuel economy
The fuel economy of both types of vehicles just can’t be compared. A sports car trades fuel economy for top speed. The average sports car gives you 22 miles per gallon, while a traditional family car gives you 50 miles per gallon.
Sports cars aren’t built for fuel efficiency. Period. However, you will be pleased to know that many car manufacturers are working on fuel efficiency with regard to even the most high-end supercars, leading to sports cars that are fuel-efficient.
Chassis
Sports cars have a durable and sturdy chassis. This allows drivers to cut corners at exceptionally high speeds without losing control of the car. The chassis affects the traction of the car and is, therefore, essential for racecars.
These days, supercar chassis are made of carbon fibers that are lighter than other materials, leading to heightened stiffness and tensile strength.
Regular cars are fitted with chassis that are built with comfort in mind. Even though comparatively cheaper materials are used, they’re just as advanced, making them safe for use on the road.
Brakes
Sports cars are fitted with self-ventilating carbon ceramic brakes. This prevents the wheels and system from overheating when they reach high speeds.
As regular cars aren’t built to be driven at really high speeds, their brakes are designed accordingly. That doesn’t mean regular cars have sub-standard brakes; they just don’t need self-ventilating carbon ceramic brakes.
Cargo capacity
Sports cars and regular cars tend to have the same cargo capacity. Some sports models even have larger trunks than the average family car.
Fitting a large trunk in a sports car is easier than doing it in a regular car, as it only as two seats. Family cars take into account the comfort of the passengers, which leads to less room available for a large trunk.
Car body
Most people judge a car based on its look. Visual appeal is essential for supercars and sports cars. While regular cars cater to four or more passengers and ensuring their safety, sports cars focus on aesthetic value as well as performance. Sports cars are designed to improve performance. They are typically aerodynamic to achieve high speeds and are therefore lower than regular cars.
