My mechanic friend says it best: a super car is what an athlete can afford. A hyper car is what a dictator can afford.
 
I hate the proliferation of the "supercar" name.

IMO, a "supercar" should be a car that is intended to be the ultimate at something. The most power, the highest top speed, the fastest lap time, the most technology, the most extravagant build quality, or whatever. It needs to push the boundaries and stand out. Current supercars would be things like the Veyron, the Huayra, the Gumpert Apollo, and so on. Things like an F458, an R8, and the like, are just normal mass-production cars built to a higher standard of quality and performance. They're not cutting-edge monsters like a supercar should be.
