Henry Ford is credited with mass producing automobiles with the intention of producing cheap, fast-produced vehicles built to last perhaps a few years. They would then be transported to a junkyard and replaced with another inexpensive vehicle. Ford made sedans, convertibles, sports cars, trucks, and race cars. The racing variety was intended to promote the line of cars manufactured by Ford. This form of advertising is still used today for all car manufacturers. The automobile distinction was produced with high-speed sports vehicles that stood out because they had the distinction of being extremely stylish with sleek lines that spoke of speed and class.
Today we see super cars with amazing prices!
So-called modern cars can be rare and elegant antiques or more modern vehicles with the distinction of being extremely fast and elegant.
According to Wikepedia, Supercar is a term that is most often used to describe an expensive high-end car. It has been specifically defined as “a very expensive, fast or powerful car”.
Historically, the Alfa Romeo Monza was dubbed a super car in 1917 by Car and Track magazine and may be the first to coin the term, but since then others have described various vehicles as “super” cars based on their taste in cars. What designates a car as super? Many enthusiasts claim it is high speed, while others claim it is the sleek lines of a particular car.
From zero to sixty in 3 seconds?
Nowadays, there are some cars that can accelerate extremely fast and that gives them the term “super car.” The Lamborghini Aventador with its 690 horsepower and zero to sixty speeds of 2.9 seconds gives a definitive claim to car status along with the Ferrari 360 with its own record of zero to sixty records of 4.3 and claim of 400 horsepower under the hood. Many vehicles with auto claims can reach extremely high speeds when space permits.
Exotic design brings historic prices at auction
Henry Ford with his disposable cars could never have dreamed of older models that sold for $ 2 million! Of course, those with such high price tags must be distinctive and specialized to attract buyers. A good example is the 1986 Trans AM. Modified by Polly Motorsport Company in Norway, this car could definitely claim “super car” status after its transformation into the fastest street legal car in Europe. The modifications allowed it to reach 100 km / h in just 2.3 seconds and an overall top speed of 407.143 km / h.
Super cars become pampered pets of distinction
This type of vehicle will most likely never be seen on city streets because they are so expensive and many do not meet the criteria to make them “street legal”, yet they are loved by owners and fellow enthusiasts who appreciate the fine lines, the powerful engines, and the collectability. Many specialty cars will double in value in a very few years, making them desirable and highly collectible and they always will be.
