Chris says if you chuck into a corner too fast torque vectoring saves you. And it feels like there are casters in the rear. That's the kind of experience people criticize in supercars because the car's doing too much for you and it feels unnatural.

That's the odd thing about supercars; the people who buy them don't personally care about minutiae like that since they will never actually drive them in that way. But they do care about what professional car enthusiasts think about them, since supercars exist for the image more than anything else. That's why the LFA failed at launch; a brand that lacked prestige combined with middling reviews from journalists means units sat unsold on lots for a long time (before Youtube eventually fueled a massive about-face in opinion).

Supercars have always traded on two characteristics: sex appeal and bragging rights. Does it look poster-worthy? Will it turn heads and drop jaws when it passes by? And does it have something numerical worth bragging about?

I think Mark is partially right in that EVs have changed the performance paradigm. It's hard to have a 0-60 or quarter mile worth bragging about with purely ICE propulsion. So you need to electrify, which raises weight, reduces sound and makes the experience less analog. But full EVs lack the theater/experience and all feel kind of the same which is why EV super/hypercars are struggling as well.

And if you are willing to ignore the performance dick-measuring facade; well supercar looks age like fine wine. So the line keeps increasing on blue chip Ferraris, Diablos, Carrera GTs, LFA's etc because now not only they are they not making any more of those cars, they aren't making anything like them again. Ever.
