hypercar
Peak automotive achievement
A hypercar is an extremely high-performance automobile that exceeds even supercars in speed, power, and price.
These are the rarest and most technologically advanced production vehicles, often limited editions costing millions of dollars: The Bugatti Chiron and McLaren P1 are iconic hypercars.
The category emerged in the 2010s as manufacturers pushed beyond what "supercar" could describe.
