TYPES OF SPORTS CAR: SUVs, SEDANS AND HATCHBACK
The sports car segment is characterised by a wide range of models. First off, the so-called roadster, a two-seater equipped with a soft and foldable roof. Another important example is the coupé: the perfect sports car for everyday use, ideal for short trips. This type of sports vehicle is a dynamic version of a sedan, born as a "closed" car, usually with two doors and a small rear seat that can accommodate two additional passengers. Moreover, the hatchback is a type of sports car with a sedan body, offering a lot of advantages of a station wagon.
