Why Don't Sports Cars Drive on Highways?

[StIsabelle]

Here are the reasons why sports cars don't drive on highways: 1. From a comfort perspective, sports cars generally have poor comfort because they lack shock absorption and vibration filtering functions. With thin tires and stiff suspensions, high-speed driving on highways becomes extremely uncomfortable. Additionally, the seats in supercars are not designed for comfort, leading to backaches and soreness after prolonged sitting. The poor driving experience makes long-distance high-speed driving impossible. 2. From a refueling standpoint, supercars, designed for speed, typically use high-power engines, which makes them extremely fuel-hungry. It has been calculated that a Bugatti Veyron's fuel tank can only sustain about 15 minutes of driving. On a highway, it's highly likely that you wouldn't find the next gas station within such a short time, risking running out of fuel and being forced to stop and call for a tow truck. Moreover, highway gas stations usually offer gasoline with an octane rating of 97 or below, while supercars require 98 or higher. Using lower-grade gasoline can damage the supercar's engine.
