STUD or DUD? Is THIS The All-new Trend For High-performance Sports Cars?

STUD or DUD? Is THIS The All-new Trend For High-performance Sports Cars?
As a huge automotive fan, I am attracted to anything with four wheels. Whether its a Kia or a Koenigsegg, I am interested to learn more.

While that doesn't mean I LOVE all vehicles, that does mean I am interested in understanding why people are into their rides of choice. And, I also like to stay on top of the latest trends. It's cool to see why people make the modifications to their autos.

Just the other day I asked the Spies a simple question: Are "murdered out" rides played out for good? It seems as though the consensus was split.

While that trend is on the way out, I've noticed something else bubbling to the surface: Removing car parts, especially on forced induction vehicles, for what I would suspect is better cooling/breathing. Or, it could just be for a more "raw" look.

Cars like the Lamborghini Huracan, Porsche 911, Audi R8, Audi RS7 and the Ferrari 488 have been spotted with parts removed and it doesn't appear to be slowing. So, Spies, what's your call?

Are removed body parts and exposed internals going to be the next BIG thing for high-performance sports cars? To YOU, is this look a STUD or DUD?

Please don't let this be a trend.

This is the first example I've seen.

I have only seen this done on twin-turbo Gallardo's and Huracan's where there was not enough space for all the plumbing. And no this should not be a trend. If you are into that look, buy a 1.0L naked bike and go a whole lot faster.

The background in that photo seems appropriate.

That's just a picture of Gavin Newsome's Porsche parked in San Francisco.

I'm just waiting to see NOS-bottled, fart-can Civics trashed out like this.

"Welcome to the Jungle! Worsen everyday."
Post-apocalyptic Mad Max shit. Alas, it is a trend.

I love misquoted lyrics.

Would be terrible driving behind a car like that on a wet road, imagine the amount of spray those exposed tyres might cause. Chances of projecting small bits of gravel or stone into traffic might also be greater.

It should be illegal driving something like this on a public road, and it looks absolutely hideous!

No, it's definitely not a trend. It's just an individual with (possibly misguided) money expressing what he finds attractive in a car.

It's definitely not my cup of tea :-/

It'll be nice when it's done.
