It is a styling trend originated in Germany. The trend is to mimic race 
cars and Porsches, so the cars are usually very minimalistic with no 
interior other than front seats, steering wheel and instruments. 
Outside, you have bright colors, late painted bumpers, big Porsche 
brakes and modern Porsche or BBS wheels in 17" or 18" diameter. In the 
engine compartment, you have a LOT of motor, preferably. Here's a German 
looker:

And there's also French style. Like the German style cars, these are 
inspired by race cars, but even more so. They often run with race-style 
graphics (although without advertising), and wild paintjobs in screaming 
colors, inside, underside and outside. Color matched or black modern 
alloys (often Porshce wheels here as well) are typical for French style, 
and graphics continued from the body to the bumpers.

These two are the biggest styling trends in Europe right now. I'm trying 
to find some pics, but no luck so far. Just dont know where to look :-(
