I'm not a car person so I had to look it up. Wikipedia says the former can do 0–100km/h in 3.9 seconds and tops out at 302 km/h (depending on which version you get within that series of course).

There's F1, race cars, and street-legal sports cars. To me, this sort of performance is on par with the latter category (as one never needs either of those specs in regular driving) and I can definitely see someone calling them a car capable of behaving like a sports car.

I would.
