If the same question were\u00a0to be asked for supercars; you guessed it, hypercars. Anything beyond that can only be described as\u00a0a jet car\u00a0and those are only legal on\u00a0the\u00a0race\u00a0tracks. Hypercars blur the line between the legal and the illegal. They are made to conform to driving laws by the smallest\u00a0amount of margins. Hypercars\u00a0are essentially cream of the crop works\u00a0of art precision crafted by\u00a0modern engineering miracles. See 4 iconic ones here<\/a>.\r\n\r\n\"McLaren-P1-front3\"\r\n\r\nTo qualify as a hypercar, the body must be made of ultra-light composite materials. Carbon fiber is the normal go-to here with its good tradeoff between weight and hardness. The aesthetics of the car determine the drag and the aerodynamics through carefully placed lines\u00a0and curves. As the engine is going to be extremely potent, the drag ensures that\u00a0airflow\u00a0is pushed towards the ground and the car simply does not fly off the roads. This gives the car better stability and handling when matched with the car's low body design which has the effect of a low centre of gravity. Lastly, most hypercars are hybrid vehicles. They draw power from both the combustion engine and an\u00a0electrical source, namely a battery. This allows them to achieve the raw power that they do and the performance worthy for an automobile\u00a0to be\u00a0described as hyper.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
