The umbrella group for this atlas's sports and performance automobiles, cars built and marketed chiefly around speed, handling and motorsport pedigree rather than passenger practicality, split into two eras reached through its own child groups because the combined set runs to thirty nine members, over this subcategory's own group size ceiling. Belongs here as a member of one of this group's two children: a two seat roadster, a homologation special, a supercar or hypercar, or a pony car whose defining trait is straight line or track performance. Does not belong here directly: every qualifying member sits under Sports And Performance Cars Before 1980 or Sports And Performance Cars Since 1980, never under this parent group itself. Does not belong in either child: a mainstream family sedan, an SUV, a muscle car built around a full size American V8 rather than handling, or a dedicated off road vehicle, each gathered under its own group in this subcategory.
