Supercars are made to be fast. They're made to provide a surge of adrenaline, therefore, they have to boast high power figures. In some cases, however, some supercars set a new trend on speed on what is expected and what is possible, raising the standard for everyone else.

Most supercars that have serious performance figures in today's world are very expensive. Or are they? There are a few older supercars available on the used car market that have depreciated quite a bit, and they still put up a fight in the modern world. Here are ten cheap supercars that are still fast today.

The Nissan GTR is a perfect example of a fast cheap supercar. You can pick one up for less than a new Kia K900, and for that, you get a 3.8 liter twin-turbo V6 with around 485hp and 434 lb-ft of torque. Those are decent power figures, and things get even better when you realize the GTR does a 0-60 time of 3.5 seconds and flat out does almost 200 mph.

The GTR is incredibly quick, yet it seats four, and it has a proper trunk. It has AWD and it handles pretty well too. You could probably get one for less than $52,000 as these cars are losing value like crazy in 2021.

It hits 60 in 4.6 seconds and flat out it hits 183 mph. It still is pretty quick by today's standards, and it was made when Ferrari was dominant in F1.
