Perhaps because supercars are ridiculously impractical. They are too low to handle speed bumps, they are cramped inside and have little to no luggage or passenger space.
Those tradeoffs are to make them fast. People who drive them care about performance, and will likely have a second car for more general driving.
No one would want to buy a car that made those trade offs without getting the performance in return.
- Zak 10y agoA lot of people buy Mazda MX-5s. They can carry speed through corners pretty well, but aren't really fast by other metrics even compared to other cars in the same price class. The first couple generations were slower to accelerate than many midrange cars with essentially no sporting pretensions. The MX-5 is fun though. It feels good to drive it at a moderately spirited pace. Several attempts to compete with it have won hands down in every significant performance metric, yet failed in the marketplace because they just didn't feel as good to drive.
