Convinced that your car poses more risk? Then read on.

The insurance companies analyze and consider a lot of factors before deciding on the insurance premium of a motor vehicle. While the premiums in respect of a production passenger car can be available readily, the insurance premium of a limited production special use vehicle like a sports car is calculated after assessing the increased risks of that particular car. Sports cars are capable and are driven at much higher speeds and maneuvered in a fashion that puts the car and the driver in a much higher risk zone than a passenger car which is driven at more moderate speeds. Also the extent of damage caused can be much more. Sports cars are much more expensive to repair and parts are often imported, which pushes up the cost further. Increased risk factors translate into increased Insurance Premiums.
