Hyper Car

Hyper cars are top of the line supercars that are the absolute finest in most, if not all, of the elements of standard supercar. These element include, but not limited to, acceleration, price, rarity, top speed, sound and appearance.

Nowadays a new concept of a 'mega car' is appearing, the term coined to bring the much appreciated swedish Koenigsegg One :One under a category as it was too fast for being called a hyper car with the swedish manufacturer claiming the beast to have a top speed of around 270mph, that is 6mph more than the current world record holder- Bugatti Veyron 16.4 grand sport vitesse.

Hyper cars take certain qualities of high performance cars (supercars) to a new level, such as efficient propulsion, weight-efficient builds, and creating unique and outstanding aerodynamics. Although all these characteristics could qualify to make a great supercar, hypercars usually excel in all of them while being semi-fuel efficient and exceeding typical Autobahn speeds. Usually stocked with 10 or more cylinder engines, built from carbon fiber, with engines in the back for better aerodynamics, a hypercar focuses more on straight line speed,rather than handling performance.

Supercars are an eye catching factory stock machinery in which they accelerate faster and are defiantly more expensive than at least 98% of the other cars manufactured in that same year.

All hypercars are supercars, but not all supercars are hypercars. hypercars take up about 1% of supercars. All in all, hypercars are a small sub-section of cars in the larger category of "supercar".

When it comes to deciding the qualifying factors that determine if a supercar can make it under the hypercar title, we see a lot of unclear and open-ended criteria. The qualifications are not obvious or easy to designate due to the fact that there is not a 100% straight forward book definition of hypercar since it is just coming into our daily language.
