  Supercar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A supercar is a term used for a sports car, typically an exotic or rare one, whose performance is highly superior to its contemporary sports cars.
Because supercars are usually designed for road and amateur track use rather than racing alone, their standard equipment often do not include roll cages and other mandatory requirements for race cars.
While one undisputed supercar, the McLaren F1, featured seating for three (and had a number of useful storage spaces), performance was not sacrificed, but instead improved by the seating design: the driver's central position lowered the vehicle's polar moment of inertia and increased its turning ability.

Supercar Street Challenge lets you race single player, with Championship, Quick Race, and Time Attack modes, or a head-to-head multiplayer that lets you race split-screen against your friends.

Hailing from chilly Aomori Prefecture, far to the north of the teeming Tokyo metropolis, Supercar has quickly morphed from UK guitar band soundalike into a pioneer in experimental music with a fully-formed musical vision.
Often compared to Radiohead, another sometimes experimental group that has managed to capture and keep the public's attention, Supercar is in the enviable position of being able to simultaneously follow their muse and maintain a significant fan base.
The group was formed in 1995, recording demos and gigging sporadically until the release of their first single "Cream Soda" in 1997.

 Tuner Sports Supercar Tires Q&A With Michelin - Motor Trend
Supercar tires must withstand the increased horsepower, torque, traction, aerodynamic loading, high-speed stability and other engineering demands imposed by the Supercar chassis and manufacturer.
Most original equipment manufacturers (not supercar makers) have extensive lists of engineering criteria - some with hundreds of individual tire design targets - to be met in wet, dry, and everyday driving conditions if the tire is to be accepted (homologated) as an original equipment fitment.
The technology employed in the engineering of Supercar tires is much closer to racing tire technology than that of standard radial tires because the manufacturer's specifications - or acceptance criteria - are far more demanding for a Bugatti Veyron (fit with Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires) than say for an entry-level sedan.
