Is 911 turbo S a supercar?

[inlinesix]

huracan v10 sounds very good as well right?

 

IL6 x 2 sounds better than V10

A lambo or ferrari does not evoke emotions lah.

And let me guess your friend drives a WRX?

 

Nowadays sports car is too safe.  It is too clinically efficient in achieving lap time.

From an owner of a regular hatchback, anything faster than 7s is super car.

 

Needs super budget in SG.

Gtr. 911 turbos are all super car category.

 

 

Zonda. Agera. Aventador are hyper cars category

[Felipe]

depends how u want to define supercar. 

 

is it 0-100, track time, status, sales etc. a lot of factors actually. 

 

imo, it's a car tat is something another cannot and will never be.

 

a lot of cars can be as fast as Ferrari or lambo. put some mods, and yr good to go. if stock, then a lot of cars can match older Ferrari models these days. 

 

this is why i discount 0-100 timings. not tat it doesn't matter. but too many cars hit 4-5 secs these days. 

 

if it's a porsche, i would consider GT3 a supercar.

Zonda. Agera. Aventador are hyper cars category

GTR is a very fast car. 

 

will it be a vintage classic many years down the road? be in a museum tat showcases car design? unlikely.

Hi All,

 

had a friendly debate with a fellow petrol head. I was for turbo S being a super car. He was against .

 

My argument was turbo S has 580hp and is probably the fastest accelerating car, minus the tesla.

His argument was turbo S doesn't evoke the emotions like a lambo or ferrari.

 

So my question is what make a car a supercar? Price, history, horespower, looks?

what about aston, mclaren and bentley?

 

According to your fren I drive a super car.

 

Every time it breaks down

 

I am full of emotion and I cry.

 

Get smarter frens.

u can don't take it past 100kmh on certain roads. it's pretty much over in a 4-5 secs. no offence actually.

unlikely to be emotional when break down cos no one simply owns one supercar as only car.

 

also, it rarely breaks down cos its seldom used. look at the mileages at sgcarmart for ferrari and lambo and u get the idea

I do think it can be quite subjective.

 

For me there are a few factors. Performance is obviously one consideration, but the other is perhaps the 'wow' factor. As in, will people turn their heads and say wow when you drive past.

 

Maybe some people say 911 Turbo S or GT3 may not be supercar, as to most ordinary folk it is just another Porsche 911 (which, let's face it, is quite common nowadays). As compared to a Lambo or Ferrari which looks distinctive and eye-catching.

 

I dunno. Just saying.

Super car must have wedge shape. If not, cannot be leow.

[Hubwee]

There is No replacement for displacement ... To me it’s always how fast the car can go from 180 to 280km/h and how fast it can go from 200 to 0 km/h . Not so much about 0 to 100 km/h anymore .

[Throttle2]

u are in the know! ya he used to own wrx, but drive a 7 seater now.

 

his argument was lambo looks more exotic and sounds so much better than turbo s

I am not in the know. But i am very good with sociology and behavioural studies.

Its becos a lambo or ferrari is all ah beng WRX drivers’ grail supercar, duh.

And of course, his argument is pure bulls**t.

Supercars are defined never by looks nor sounds.

 

the stylish cool educated gentlemen with distinguished tastes and discerning character will always pick the Porsche.

Bro, Lambo owner are mostly Ah Beng lah.

 

Ferrari lesser so.

Yah, i agree.

[Whisper_2000]

Aiya, all the cars mentioned in the discussion are supercars la. It's just that some people refuse to acknowledge them as some may not like some car brands or can't afford them (sour grapes). Our world are full of weird people who cannot accept facts. Period.

So u define supercar by pure speed?

definitely hear people saying porsche is not as eye-catching as lambo or f, and hence not a supercar.

 

i like to focus on performance and feel that a F-type or 911 (long bonnet, short rear overhang) looks much better than a mid engine car.

 

that's just me.
