A company like Audi has an entire fleet of mass market vehicles to offset it's emissions, so make your Supercar as follows;
- 3500 lbs
- NA V10 or V12
- 700ish HP
- Gated manual
There'd be line ups out the door.

You dont even need to force a manual gearbox - just offer one along with a good flappy-paddle option.
Style it with LESS ducts, folds, creases, wings, vents, etc. Far too many modern supercars/exotics are simply ugly or pale in comparison to the looks of their predecessors.
In other words, styling-wise,
IMO:
Lambo Murcielago >>> Aventador
Lambo Gallardo >>> Huracan
McLaren MP412C >>> 765
Ferrari F355, 458 Italia >>>> any of their newer cars
Audi R8 >>>>>> this new concept
You get the idea. We need more clean, original styling & lines instead of what looks like the same old wedge with 17 chunks of body kit looking shit slapped on it.
