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.
