Are supercars about the power and performance, the looks, the exclusivity and high cost or is it a mixture of all 3?

On the surface this seems quite an easy one to answer but thinking about it there are some serious exceptions.

The Ariel atom has loads of power and performance as does a caterham 7 but many would not class these as supercars.

Bentley and Rolls Royce have the exclusivity and price tag and loads of power but again few regard these as supercars?

Do you restrict "supercars" to Lamborghini, Maserati, Aston Martin and Ferrari etc...
 
Personally alot is down to ego and the amount of cockwaving going on. A true supercar owner will keep the car and use it whereas most will seldom drive it and change it for another ornamant. A status symbol, nothing else.
