@BVZTIII Contrary to popular opinion, a sports car has nothing to do with neither acceleration, top speed or horsepower figures. In short, a sports car is a 1,2 or if one wants to be charitable, max 2+2 seater car that is built to be as fun to drive as possible, foremost by being as light as possible. As you can see the cars I mentioned above fit it nicely. As you can also see, there is no mention of acceleration in this definition, and certainly no fixed numbers for anything except the number of seats. There are a lot of fast accelerating, high power cars and a lot of them have their own named and defined category without being sport cars. Muscle cars. Pony cars. Super sedans. GT cars. Hot hatches etc etc. Tesla Models S would be akin to something like a modern muscle car/super sedan category. Taycan more like super sedan/GT category. Cheers.

Luckily that doesnt matter, since it isnt a sports car, and never was. Neither is the Porsche, btw. A miata, Boxster or lotus elise, those are sports cars.

@valerystoichkov7429 You might want to read again. I simply answered if it was a sports car or not. Other considerations werent part of it. That being said, there certainly are quite a few vehicles running around that has got a worse motive energy to braking power quota.
