Rolls-Royce is known for creating the pinnacle of automobile with the highest level of luxury and comfort. While the cars aren’t slow by any stretch, performance isn’t their priority. But if they were to do so and make a supercar, here’s how it could look like. Now, what exactly is a supercar? It’s actually a somewhat made-up term but the industry went along with it so here we are. You’d get arguments on what constitutes a sports car, supercar, or even a hypercar.

Imagine you’re transported back to the late eighties and you heard news of Honda developing its own supercar. You could be scoffing at the thought of the makers of the humble Civic and Accord jumping onto the supercar bandwagon against the likes of Ferrari and Lamborghini. But when the Honda NSX made its debut in 1989 at the Chicago Auto Show (as an Acura) and the Tokyo Motor Show (as a Honda), the international media went into a frenzy.
