“I’m not going to call (today’s high-priced sports cars) supercars, that is why I refer to them as supercar-ish. Besides Ferrari and McLaren you will find them scattered all around (the 2018 Geneva auto show). All chasing billionaires and all trying to be this kind of latest hot, cool thing that has better performance statistics than anything else. When you look at them, though, they blend into this kind of melange of sameness.
As a counterpoint, if you look around here you will find a whole set of real supercars from the 1960s. Every one of them is different. Every one of them made a statement about where cars and design should go.”
