Following up our previous blog post about the evolution of luxury cars we wanted to show you and tell you about the evolution of sports cars because as we previously mentioned the automotive industry is moving very very fast. Not only are more and more cars getting more comfortable, safer and much more affordable, they are also becoming much faster and smoother.

Brands like Bentley, Stutz Motor Company, Duesenberg and Amilcar were the first carmakers to produce cars that went over 80mph that was as far back as 1920, which was a huge achievement back then, cars were much heavier, the engineering was nowhere near the same as it is now... in 2020 we had the first car break the speed of 300mph which was the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. Now more and more carmakers are taking on the challenge of creating the fastest car in the world, recently the SSC group came out with Tuatara that reportedly reached a speed of 316mph (this is yet to be confirmed and legitimised).

In today's age, sports cars or hypercars are made more to turn heads, using new technologies and exquisite design features than to be record-breaking track vehicles. Brands such as Ferrari, Lamborghini and Mclaren are more a huge status symbol in today's age.

Most popular car makers such as Mercedes, Audi and BMW and many others are trying to make their car impressively fast, making them lighter, packing more horsepower and cheaper. This is because as of 2021 there are over 60 car brands around the world, these car brands also offer tens of different models, which makes choosing a car you like very difficult. That's the main reason every carmaker wants some kind of bragging right to make them stand out over others.

Sports cars kind of became the norm in the past few years, with huge amounts of horsepower, fast acceleration and luxury packed. Not even going to mention they are much more affordable than a Ferrari. That's why we previously mentioned that owning a high-end supercar is more of a status symbol than anything just because the common commercial car is doing more and more to compete with these luxury bank-breaking hypercars.

Now once again we are moving into a new age of speed and supercars, with the hybrid/electric space becoming more developed, soon we will see hypercars fully powered by electric engines, capable of insane speeds, a great example of this is the Mclaren Speedtail which is capable of doing 0-186mph in less than 13 seconds. As insane as that is, it is just the beginning and there is much more ahead of the electric super-cars.

What do you think lays ahead in the sports car scene, what we will be seeing much more of?
