First the pic:
Now the question:
I’m all for functional aerodynamics, but am I the only person noticing just how ridiculously long these front underboards are protruding from the nose of the car? I feel like just in the past 6 months the average front underboard has doubled in it’s length forward. Its a massive trend in racing in Japan right now and with each step further outwards I feel like we’re returning to the super silouette inspired 1980s bosozoku style. I’m a reader of auto otaku’s blog and I’ve been seeing a lot of cars on there with underboards/diffusers even longer than this one. I think it’s cool in a very hardcore way, but damn if they arent growing bigger by the second. I feel like I’m going to start seeing new generation sports cars on the street done up by their owners to mimic this trend and then we’ll have in a sense a modern sports car bosozoku style comeback. I honestly don’t know if thats a good thing or not. Looks and functions great on cars like this super gt Z33 and on time attack cars, but on the street it could become a bad joke if it gets out of hand.
If you love that pic as much as I do, here’s one more:
