I would tend to agree with your son. I don't consider mainstream Porsches to be supercars. I would consider a Carrera GT or a 918 to be a supercar.
My brainstorm of supercar characteristics:
Low production
Cost north of $250k
Mostly mid engine
Bonkers horsepower
Use of rare materials like carbon and titanium
Mostly two seaters with focus on weight savings
Few dealers around
Can't realistically be used as a daily driver
Main purpose is to go fast.
No creature comforts like massaging ventilated seats, etc
So what about supercar vs hypercar?
