Do not confuse performance car with sports car. Any car can become a performance car. Take a family sedan or hatch, stick a turbo to the engine, lower the suspension, replace originals with larger wheels and fatter tires, fix a spoiler to the boot, add stripes or stickers, and of course add "GT" or "Sports" to the name. That's how car manufacturers cut development costs by using a shared platform.

The twin is a purpose built sports car - not a performance or sporty version of another car. In that sense, I consider it to be a true sports car. A sports car which you can buy new without breaking the bank.
