Supercars are turning into a measurable business, not just a spectacle. In 2023, the ultra high end side of the market sits at $45.0 billion, while 23,000+ theft cases are reported worldwide each year and cybersecurity spending is projected to keep climbing fast. The figures also clash in more technical places, from sub 3 second acceleration benchmarks to how electronics and batteries reshape vehicle cost.
