This actually started with bikes, and then came over to cars. The style started as a make your ride stand out as much as possible and was also inspired by the silhouette race cars of the '80s except taken to the extreme. At first I thought it was ridiculous but It quickly grew on me.
This is hands down my favorite, and this was actually taken at the top of a mountain in Japan, but not by me, so they are somewhat manuverable.
