Prior investigates the 'supercar', and where the term might have originated
The De Tomaso, which we mooted as a successor to the Ford GT40, had a Ford V8. Was this Italian car’s Detroit iron the missing link that allowed the term to migrate over from American muscle to mid-engined European coupés?
Who knows? But by 1973, we were talking with familiarity about “these supercars”, the new Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer and upcomingBut only a year later, we thought it might have run its course: “Supercars – the end of the line?” we asked about the Countach as it entered production, neatly confirming Betteridge’s law that any headline ending in a question mark can be answered ‘no’.
By 1975, supercars were so common that we thought one formed an “essential part of the range” of a prestige manufacturer, and the term has slowed not at all since. A search of 2022’s magazines returned more than 200 results for it. The supercars keep coming, then, and they keep getting faster. Is that commonality what was behind the creation of the more extreme term ‘hypercar’? Not exactly. More on that too, perhaps, another time
