Escape in sports car perhaps (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scarper

'escape' is the definition.
(I know that escape is a kind of escape)

'in sports car perhaps' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'SCARPER' can be found hidden inside 'sports car perhaps'.

(Other definitions for scarper that I've seen before include "Run away (colloq.)" , "Clear off!" , "Vamoose" , "bolt" , "Damage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
