If it should be considered a "true" sports car can it be an AWD?
I like some sports cars other than Ferraris. I for example like the Gallardo and Murciélago. But I don't really consider them "true" sports cars due to their AWD. I mean even the Gallardo Superleggera's got it. :-( The most desirable Lambo to me is the GT and to a large extent due to the fact that it's RWD.
I think something in the meaning of a sports cars is lost when made an AWD. The AWD Lambos, 911 AWDs, Veyron are all less then what they could have been if you ask me. How about you?
I think that AWD can also be considered a true sports car, because Lamborghinis like Ferraris are definitely sports cars. Porsche 911 4S is AWD and I believe thats a sports car is. I don't believe that RWD makes a car a sports car. That is just my 2 cents
A Dutch mate of mine has a Gallardo Spyder and he travels more sideways than forwards. The thing just loves to burn rubber and flick its tail. It's got plenty of power (more than my 550 and weighs less), outrageous looks and awesome sound. So, yes, to me it ticks all the sportscar boxes.
But I do think it's an exception - in general RWD is the way to go. And I certainly wouldn't applaud Ferrari for building a AWD car!

I agree, I would not want to see Ferrari make an AWD.
