This is a list of specialist manufacturers or marques of modern and classic sports cars. It includes ''only'' companies that are devoted ''exclusively'' to producing sports cars. A sports car is an automobile designed for performance driving; however the exact definition is subject to debate. Most automakers have produced, or are currently marketing, some type of sports vehicles. This list is not meant to enumerate every manufacturer that also makes other types of vehicles or has other business units.
