The picture above is of a Corvette C6R made by Chevrolet in 2005 for the race tracks in the Le Mans 24 hour and the American Indy 500. This style of the chassis (body of the vehicle) was developed and reached a peak point in the 1990's. I believe that this type of car is a result of “sensuous impulse” because it shows the traits of rococo style which is themed on sensuous impulse. “Sensuous impulse” is based on nature as a model including the S-curve which is asymmetric, irrational and emotional. The chassis of these vehicles are crafted in an almost natural style which benefits both look and performance, these curves and sinuous lines show aesthetic design and elegance. These details can be seen from the front to the back of the car as the curves give the whole design a simple flow which is both beautiful and helpful. You can tell this design is very elaborate and this emphasises emotional and feminine beauty traits (since cars are usually referred to as females).

note: I realise having a Race Car as my subject for this blog may seem far fetched but I grew up with cars like these and to me there is nothing that can really compare (call it a family peeve I guess)
