What is the difference between a performance car and a sports car?

1, the nature of different

Performance car is specifically refers to a kind of closed body, streamlined back of the two-door two-seater sedan.

Sports car belongs to a kind of low chassis, smooth lines, outstanding power car type, its biggest feature is the constant pursuit of speed limit.

2, different configurations

Sports cars are equipped with a turbocharged or V6 or more engines (the exception is the Coolie, Beauty Leopard these LJ.).

And turbocharged and V6 or more engines these generally can only be found in the BMW 7 series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class and other high-end sedans.

3, energy consumption is different

Sports cars consume more fuel than performance cars.

4, different design

Performance cars are mostly designed with four-person seats, generally two-door design, and the driving mode is mostly FR (front engine rear-wheel drive), though there are also FF (front engine front-wheel drive) and 4WD (four-wheel drive) designs.

Traditional sports cars have a two-door body, i.e., only left and right doors, two or 2+2 seats (the two rear seats are particularly narrow, as in the case of the Porsche 911), and a folding soft top or hard top. Sports cars usually have two seats, lightweight body, and its engine is generally more powerful than the ordinary car engine, so the acceleration is good, its speed is also higher.

5, the shape of different

Performance in the shape of the passenger compartment is characterized by a relative reduction in the proportion of the three segments, appears to be lengthened in the front and rear part of the car, the formation of the overall slender form, dynamic, brisk and lively. Many of these models of the back of the roof, the rear window and the rear luggage compartment into a curve, forming only the front of the car and the center of the passenger compartment of the two sections of the feeling, more lightweight.

The **** same characteristics of a sports car are excellent power, dynamic shape and smooth lines. Front-engined sports cars have a longer front end and a smaller trunk at the back, while rear- and mid-engined sports cars don't even have a trunk, just a small space under the front cover of the front end where you can put a spare tire.

Expanded:

Performance car, a broader concept, a high-performance version of any car model can be called a performance car. For example, the AMG A45, M3/M4, RS6, AMGE63, AMGS63, X5M, G63 are all performance cars, just different platforms for different models. In addition to luxury brands, there are also many performance cars. For example, Volkswagen's Golf R, the R36 based on the Passat platform, and the Ford Focus RS.
