         What is the original meaning of car?

The etymology of the word car shows that it was derived from the Latin word carrus or carrum. Carrum means a wheeled vehicle. The word vehicle itself has origins in Latin. The Latin word vehiculum became vehicle in English. In Latin, carrus means a wagon, a four-wheeled baggage cart, cartload or wagonload.

    WHAT’S THE MEAN OF SUPER CAR

The definition of a supercar describes an expensive car that’s flashy, fast, luxurious, and prestigious.

What Makes a Car a Supercar?

The obvious answer is speed, both in terms of top speed and acceleration. In a hierarchy that begins with sports cars and ends with hypercars, supercars are the high-performance middle, featuring vehicles that are more than capable of tearing up the track and leaving common sports cars in the dust.

There are no broadly agreed demarcations on the term supercar, though. Some have cited a mid-engine requirement, but that would leave several high-performing front-engined models — such as the Ferrari F12berlinetta — out of the mix in a way that doesn’t make sense. Analyzing the feel behind the wheel and the use of unique technologies to enhance the driving experience could also play a role, as could other aspects of the vehicles such as power-to-weight ratio. Price and scarcity may also be relevant — but these things are often subjective.

Perhaps what matters to many is the nameplate of the vehicle itself. In that regard, brands like Ferrari are synonymous with both supercars and hypercars.

The Difference Between a Supercar and a Sports Car

What classifies a supercar as something more than a garden-variety sports car is often going to be a question of degree. Common sports cars are often graceful, high-performing vehicles, but when questioning the difference between supercars and sports cars, the supercar will always win out. How fast is the vehicle and what level of aerodynamic engineering is at play? Even things like price and availability may be factors.

Is a Ferrari a Sports Car?

No, Ferraris are a class above sports cars — every Ferrari is either a supercar or hypercar, designed to push the limits of what is possible for a vehicle on the road and the track. A simple sports car offers relatively common levels of performance, and a proper supercar like a Ferrari will dominate lesser sports cars like a Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Corvette in every conceivable metric when compared side-by-side, from speed to aerodynamics to pure craftsmanship. There’s a reason that Ford Mustangs are common sights in America and Ferraris are not, and it’s not just because of pricing.

Once upon a time, American muscle cars were considered supercars in some quarters, but nowadays, nobody is going to confuse a comparatively humble Ford Mustang with a Ferrari F8 Tributo. Similarly, a Porsche 911 is significantly more common than a Ferrari Portofino M, which will lead some to call the 911 a sports car and the Portofino M a supercar due to limited production numbers. What’s under the hood also plays a role, of course — but the point, again, is that there is subjectivity in the term.

Ferrari Supercars

It’s fair to call nearly every vehicle in the Ferrari lineup a supercar — save for those that transcend boundaries and warrant the label of hypercar. Modern Prancing Horse standouts include:

This, of course, is a small sample of the many supercars that have borne the Prancing Horse logo over the years.

THE 296 GTB IS THE FIRST PRANCING HORSE ROAD CAR TO FEATURE 120° V6 TURBO ENGINE.

Ferrari 296 GTB - Engine

Its structure means that the turbochargers can fit within the “V”. This helps it achieve extraordinarily high power levels (663 hp). The Ferrari V6 also sets a record of 221 hp/l for specific torque output for a production car. This architecture is rooted in the Prancing Horse’s incomparable racing experience: the first Ferrari to fit a mid-rear V6 was the 246 SP in 1961, which won the Targa Florio that year and in 1962. Also, in 1961, Ferrari claimed its first Formula 1 Constructors’ title with the 156 F1 powered by a 120° V6. Ferrari installed mid-mounted turbos on the 126 CK and then on the 126 C2, which in 1982 became the first turbocharged single-seater to win the Formula 1 World Championship. The triumphant 126 C3 followed hot on its tails in 1983. Finally, the V6 PHEV turbo architecture has been shared by all Formula 1 cars since 2014.
