- buran77 5y agoToday's super/hyper-cars definitely try to be beautiful and stand out visually but they're as much function as they can be. The form just follows the function. Every line prioritizes aerodynamics, every component is about weight saving and performance, every embellishment is about ventilation or downforce. The visual uniqueness is working around the function, not the other way around. Look at a '50s car and you'll see all kinds of functionally useless fins and embellishments all around, all meant to make the car look more futuristic and "airplane like", simulating airplane's wings and engines [0].
