SUPERCOOL SUPERCARS Supercars are the fastest most expensive cars on the road They are made to be light and sleek like this Ferrari They have huge engines so that they can travel fast Supercars are really rare They are expensive to build and buy so car companies do not make many For example McLaren only made six copies of their supercar the F1 LM model 4
