Absolutely not. Fast yes, but so is the Saleen F-150 and it is not a sports car either by any stretch of imagination. Or an Audi Q7 V12 TDI, or even a Civic Type R.

A sports car has different qualities than being fast, namely feeling fast. That's how the MX-5 has always managed to be called a sports car despite not being a fast car really.

the MX-5 is also one of the most raced cars out there
