All supercar are called like them because of its superior technology that the car had at the time.The reason why NSX has been regarded as Japanese supercar in the 90's was because it exotic styling & its good handling(Ken Okuyama,Gordon Murray,Bobby Rahal,Ayrton Senna was behind the project)

One more thing to be noted is the material & the techs of NSX at the times which mean to be superior.The ergonomic,high revving engine,aluminium construction,PGM-FI(where in 90's Bosch Jerk type injection & carbs is still common)is also the reason it was called by journalist as "east supercar" in the 90s "supercar boom phenomena".

Most of top of line model are called as Halo model,which is made to showcase the latest,& most advances car to be selling at the public & significantly boost the image of the company itself.

The term supercar can be going down or downgraded as the car techs & styling is getting "older" by generation to come.

Just like most of sportbike(600cc-1000cc sports)is known as SuperSport(600cc) MiddleSport(750-800cc) & Litrebike(1000cc,or 1 litre)

The term superbike is significant in motorsports where the bike was highly modified for racing purpose only.

But in country where the taxes are mean to make the bike ultra expensive(like here in malaysia)we tend to pronounce it as Superbike due to its perfomances,displacement,technology & styling term that too much different than so-called motorcycle here(moped has upgraded status as "true" bike,& the real bike are mean to be in different league,hence the tax is up to 275%-300% for 600cc & above)

There was no supercar on the road except in the track....just like 1000cc sportbike which not mean to be called as superbike even the perfomances & technology are superior in the class.

Super-sports car/Sports car or Halo car.....thats what we have on the road legally...

Car that can be classified as Halo car by each company:

Ferrari=Enzo,F40,F50

Porsche=Carrera GT,911 GT1 StrabbenVersion.

Nissan=R390GT1(suppose to sell the car in road legal version as mandate by FIA but somehow the rules did not state how mcuh road version need to be build,so it end up to only 2 road version,which one in Nismo HQ,& others in Nissan HQ,other sold to privateer to only in form of GT version), Nissan GTR.

It was subjective pronounce to be described at the car that was intended to have it,but it was company philosophy to put the term,as if the company want to sell the product at limited basis & showing the marvel of their own creation....that what the Halo car was intended to do...



GTR is good car for sure,but I dunno why Japanese halo car/supercar having a fast "depreciation" in world of supersport car,perhaps due to their own nature that the car was almost affortable to anyone & produce in such a large number than european sportcar,when it was produce at limited basis,& only allowed to buy the car if their certify what the company need for the buyer to had one(even $$$$$$ cant guarantee that the car is your except you got it second hand which is way too expensive due to the car limited stock)

Look at the spoiler  blink.gif

Post styled 935 wing or group B monster wing look abit awkward on new gen 911 series...since Gr.B bodywork really design for aerodynamics in mind & those big ass spoiler really did the work in both styling & improvement on handling(to the end of 70's & mid 80's where gr.B styled car always had boxy bodywork,extended wheelarch,flat longnose & big rear spoiler....nice for the car at that time but for smooth flowing design for modern car I think it abit "out of shape".... tongue.gif )
