All 911's >>> Sports Cars

The GT3RS touches the exotic sphere.

Agreed with the above, except I think the RS touches Race Car, like a Cup car.

GT car on the inside, sports car on the outside.

Sports car
I would rate all my previous cars as "sporty" cars, ex. Genesis Coupe, 135i, WRX

I agree with all the above except the GT3RS. I don't think it fits in any of these categories. I don't know where it fits. If there was a track car category then yes.

I agree with most of this, but like the term hypercar for the 918 as an example because of the extreme level of performance and hybrid technology.

So, in my mind there are at least 4 levels:

Sports car (911)
Exotics
Supercars
Hypercars

Where would you fit GT cars? Are they a subclass of Sport car, or Sporty Car, or below.
