A super-car is a luxury, high-performance sports car or grand tourer. The term is used in marketing by automakers for unusual and expensive vehicles, and has been used to refer to at least four different sorts of cars:

​

  • Limited-production specials from an "elite" automaker.

  • Standard-looking cars modified for power and performance.

  • Models that appeal to enthusiasts, from smaller manufacturers.

  • One-of-a-kind "showcase" project vehicles built by custom car retro fitters (usually extensively modified collectible muscle cars or grand tourers updated to the latest "street-able" racing technology).
