About this site

Modern Sports Car is an independent reference and editorial site focused on sports cars, performance cars, and related automotive information. The site is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any vehicle manufacturer, media organization, dealership, auction company, or parts supplier unless explicitly stated.

Specifications, production details, historical notes, and model information are compiled from manufacturer materials, press releases, period sources, service documentation, reputable automotive publications, and other public references. The information is provided for general reference and editorial purposes only.

Editorial independence

Modern Sports Car publishes independent editorial and reference content. Vehicle coverage, model selection, commentary, comparisons, and recommendations are based on editorial judgment. If the site receives compensation, sponsorship, affiliate revenue, review access, or other material consideration related to specific content, that relationship will be disclosed where appropriate.

Vehicle images and manufacturer media

Vehicle images on Modern Sports Car may include photographs, renderings, or other media sourced from official manufacturer media centers, press kits, newsroom materials, historical archives, or other rights-holding sources. These images are used for editorial and informational purposes to identify, document, or discuss the vehicles being described.

Manufacturer-provided press images are generally intended for editorial use by media, publishers, journalists, and reference sites. They are not treated by Modern Sports Car as public domain, Creative Commons, or unrestricted commercial assets unless the source explicitly states otherwise.

Modern Sports Car does not claim ownership of manufacturer-supplied vehicle photography, logos, press images, renderings, or other third-party media. All such materials remain the property of their respective rights holders.

Where practical, Modern Sports Car credits image sources using captions, alt text, metadata, source notes, or other reasonable attribution methods. Image credits may include language such as “Image: BMW,” “Photo courtesy of Porsche,” or “Image courtesy of Ford Media Center.”

Modern Sports Car may resize, crop, compress, or format images for page layout, site performance, accessibility, and responsive display. The site does not intentionally alter images in a way that misrepresents the vehicle, removes rights information, or implies endorsement by the manufacturer.

Trademarks and brand names

Vehicle names, manufacturer names, model designations, trim names, logos, badges, and related marks are trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective owners. These names and marks are used on Modern Sports Car for identification, commentary, historical reference, and editorial discussion.

Use of a manufacturer name, model name, logo, or vehicle image does not imply sponsorship, approval, partnership, licensing, or endorsement by that manufacturer.

Accuracy and specifications

Modern Sports Car aims to publish accurate specifications and model information, but automotive data can vary by market, model year, trim, production date, transmission, option package, testing method, and source. Horsepower, torque, curb weight, dimensions, production totals, performance figures, and other specifications may differ across manufacturer releases, press materials, service manuals, and period publications.

Specifications are provided for general reference only. Before relying on any detail for purchase decisions, mechanical work, restoration, compliance, competition use, valuation, or safety-related decisions, verify the information with the manufacturer, an official service manual, a qualified professional, or another authoritative source.
