How Inconvenient
In the Mid-20th Century, Supercars emerged, with icons like the Lamborghini Miura, Ferrari Daytona, and Ford GT40 setting new standards for speed and performance.
Models like the Ferrari 250 GTO, Porsche 911, and Lamborghini Diablo have become cultural icons, celebrated for their design and performance.
Limited production runs and customisation options make supercars symbols of luxury and status.
Modern Supercars feature lightweight materials like carbon fibre and high-performance engines, offering unmatched power and agility.
Motorsport drives innovation, with racing success translating into enhanced showroom appeal and technological advancements.
Driving a supercar offers an unmatched sensory experience, creating a deep connection between driver and machine.
But when does a Supercar become a Hypercar?
Apparently, a supercar becomes a hypercar when it exceeds the traditional boundaries of speed and technology.
Hypercars typically have over 1,000 horsepower and can reach top speeds of 240 mph or more.
Hypercars incorporate cutting-edge technologies and super lightweight materials such as titanium.
Hypercars are produced in extremely limited numbers, often fewer than 100 units and their prices reach millions of pounds.
But what comes after hypercars?
Megacars. This term refers to cars with over 1,500 horsepower, such as the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut or Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+.
These motor cars push performance to the extreme, often breaking speed records.
And then what?
Ultracars is still a conceptual term, but as the boundaries of speed and technology advance, who knows?
And then the Autonomous Ultracars.
For the thrill of speed without the inconvenience of holding the steering wheel!
Call me old school, but No thanks!
