Cars at the sight of which everyone trembles, which do not let you sleep peacefully, they give fortunes for them, there is always a demand for them - these are sports cars.

It is pointless to list all car emblems with brand names. This list is updated regularly. Sports cars on the road attract attention and will not leave anyone indifferent. Almost everyone wants to have such an iron horse.

The concept of "sports cars". Stamps

Sports car (sports car) is a conventional name for two-, in rare cases, four-seat vehicles that have higher speed qualities compared to other cars. Also, these cars have a more powerful engine, lowered body. However, they should not be confused with racing cars, which are made specifically for competitions and tracks. Sports cars, on the other hand, are designed to drive on ordinary roads. Accordingly, their owners are required to passstate registration, get license plates and have all the lights as you would for a regular car.

For the entire era of mechanical engineering, car brands, emblems and badges have changed. The history of a sports car model can be rooted in the distant past. For all this time, two main types have been distinguished:

• Two-door coupe.
• Roadster.

Four-door models have recently been included in the sports car class. For example, Porsche Panamera or Aston Martin Rapid. These cars are not yet widely distributed, and have their own names in different languages. In Russia they are called "sports sedans" ("limousines").

Historically, sports cars have been divided into two types:

• European;
• American.

These two types of cars are really quite different. After all, each was developed on the basis of the road system of the region and the taste preferences of consumers. European sports cars were made mainly for high-speed movement on country roads. The "Americans" were larger in comparison. Now the production of fast cars has a niche segment, so this division into types is becoming irrelevant.

Main features of sports cars:

• Image car.
• The price of a sports car is higher than civilian ones. This is due to the use of special components and assemblies approved foruse on normal roads.
• Specifications far exceed the speed, power, dynamics of conventional vehicles.
• Have a certificate of approval for operation on public roads.
• Sports cars must be registered.
