I think that nowadays we see 'sports cars' as fast cars but that certainly wasn't always the way. In earlier times sports cars were vehicles used primarily for leisure, for fun, maybe only at weekends - not the owner's everyday car. It wasn't really much about what car-folk call 'sporty' these days.
Me, I am and always have been a huge fan of motorsport and I don't care what kind of Ferrari or Lamborghini you have - if all you do is drive around town posing in it you don't have a sports car. As far as I'm concerned it only becomes that when you use it for sport!
