A supercar is any car that is custom-produced for ultra-high performance.
Most often, supercars are designed and built to break performance records. As an example, the SSC Ultimate Aero TT was designed with one purpose in mind: to set production car speed records.

Supercars typically have three characteristics that set them apart from mass-produced cars.
First, even in production, a supercar’s engine is always unique and hand-crafted by a specialized engine builder.
Second, a supercar must be in the upper 99 percentile for some important performance metric like speed, acceleration, handling, etc.
Third, a supercar’s exterior must be designed for performance.
