That definition disqualifies the McLaren F1, so I don't agree with it.

By the literal definition, a sports car is a car that is involved in
motorsports. A definition which applies to some riding lawnmowers! :^)
So that doesn't work either.
I guess the definition I use is "street-legal race car," i.e. a car
that could be driven to a racetrack, campaigned competitively on that
track with little or no preparation, and then driven home.
