What does a performance car mean?

[SerenityLynn]

Performance cars, also known as sports cars, are vehicles with enhanced power performance, significantly outperforming regular sedans in terms of acceleration, steering, grip, and handling. A performance model must primarily feature performance characteristics; Ford's Focus and Mazda 3 are excellent sports models, marketed with a focus on their sporty features. Superior handling is the main reason for the popularity of the Focus model. The so-called performance car is a relatively broad concept: It should not be narrowly defined as a niche product in the eyes of professionals. Sports cars are not limited to functionality, such as racing cars or off-road vehicles, but also aim to let more people experience the joy of driving. For example, an SUV is both a sports utility vehicle and commonly known as a recreational vehicle.
