A sport car, by technical definition, is a two seat car with a very powerful engine that is created exclusively for going fast. A sport car focuses on high speed stability and maneuverability over comfort and space. Sports cars are regarded impractical and expensive by most of us but we still nurture a desire for them. The distinct sound, curvy design and impeccable performance makes a sport car the ultimate desire for almost every human being except that they are brutally expensive and getting one is nearly impossible without a fat pocket.

History Of Sport Cars

You will notice in automobile history that some manufacturers (usually individuals with engineering skills) were always obsessed with the idea of cars that move faster and perform well. A good example is Ferrari because Ferrari cars were not anything like the models you see today. These cars were merely good for commuting but were excellent for the performance enthusiast. As a matter of fact, it was the differences of Ferrari with Lamborghini that urged the latter to create cars that gave equal importance to performance.

Almost every sports car brand was emerged in Europe and the first sport car in history could be the 1910 Vauxhall followed by Ballot in 1921.
