I don't think this is repost, so...

This video starts off bad, and then from about 43 seconds in just gets ridiculous. I only heard of the "VIP" scene in Japan recently, but I hadn't seen cars that looked like this before?

I do not understand what could have motivated this sort of butchery.

Lost for words!

still, clever idea to use giant bendy straws for exhaust pipes though.

What the hell?!

Whats with the really long exhausts sticking up? Looks like the power line on a dodgem car or a tram. What are the equally long pipes coming out some of their bonnets???

Why do they have lip spoilers the size of a garage door? Is that legal, it would chop a pedestrians ankles off not to mention you wouldn't be able to park anywhere close to a kerb.

More info needed on this strange tuning scene confused

Sorry, but thats not VIP...


Those cars are in the Bosozuko style, which is a car gang. The point of the stlying is to be rediculous, different and illegal.

VIP is a whole different thing; http://speedhunters.com/archive/2009/11/09/event-g...

Although im not sure why im bothering as you are still going to complain because people are doing something you dont like...

Looks like an episode of that mid Seventies TV series called Whacky Races.

Barried Vauxhall or Citroen = Barry
Barried Lexus or Mercedes = VIP

I think that is Bozozuku style which started as young kids who formed motorcycle gangs. The Bozozuku gangs themselves are a sort of criminal caste that feeds into the Yakuza eventually, but I suspect after seeing other kids with crazy styled bikes and later cars that ordinary Japanese kids have copied it.

Never heard of VIP though.

Crap, unless its a VAG car. Then a large number of people on here will go for a long bathroom break.

I quite like bosozoku cars tbh, they are made to look ridiculous on purpose.

It's not as if they've got any pretension as to being performance vehicles - They're like cartoons of racecars, and there's a fair bit of skill that goes into making them.
