सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Japan is famous for its 'Kei' cars, which are small and not very fast. Seeing a '{速|はや}い{車|くるま}' (sports car) is often a rare and exciting event in residential areas. In anime like 'Initial D', the concept of a fast car is central. Even an old car can be a '{速|はや}い{車|くるま}' if the driver is skilled. Japanese people often associate Germany with '{速|はや}い{車|くるま}' because of the Autobahn and brands like Porsche and BMW. The 'Wangan' highway in Tokyo is legendary for late-night racing, where '{速|はや}い{車|くるま}' gather to test their limits.
The 'i' is key
Never drop the 'i' in 'hayai' when putting it before 'kuruma'. It's not 'haya kuruma'.
Kanji trap
Be careful when typing on a keyboard. Your IME will offer both '{速|はや}い' and '{早|はや}い'. Choose the one with the 'road' radical for cars!

JDM context
If you're talking to car fans, they might use the English word 'Sports car' (supootsu kaa) instead of 'hayai kuruma'.
