For 'sports cars' I also subscribe to Gambalunga's thougts.
BUT where is the dividing line between a sports car and a supercar?

Is a Porsche Boxster S, with a mid engine producing 345bhp at 6500rpm and 310lb ft of torque between 1900 and 4500rpm. The redline is set at 7500rpm and it weighs just 1395g, so is it a sports car or a mini supercar? I don't know.
My neighbour has a series 2 MX5. It is more like a well sorted Morgan Plus 4 than the Boxster: not bad, a wonderful gearbox and a responsive chassis, but it isn't a cohesive package in the way a Boxster S is. But a good used MX 5 of similar age and condition to my Boxster S will be less than £15,000 whilst a Boxster S will be £50,000 so the MX 5 is stunning value for money and very capable. In the end neither is better than the other, they are not directly comparable, as the Ferrari in the photo that started this thread isn't directly comparable with the Boxster.
