Can't agree with you there...
Lets take the Ferrari F40, widely considered to be one of the best supercars back in the late 80's and early 90's. Are we forgetting that it was turbocharged? Going by your logic, if a car maker wanted to make a better supercar, it had follow the same rules as the benchmark of the time. Did McLaren do that?? not a bit, they looked outside the box and developed new concepts to create a better supercar, quite a different beast to the F40. So why does a better supercar now have to follow the same mould as the F1? If people had thought that back in the late 80's, the F1 would be just another supercar in the crowd. but it's not. why? because McLaren didn't just replicate the benchmark at the time with a bit of newer technology, they looked for better methods outside the norm.
