So does anyone know the origins or story behind the first "boso" cars?

 

I had heard that it started from the Yakuza doing crazy stuff to their cars in Asia.

 

Basically it was started as a Japanese youth rebellion. Their society is so reserved over there that when the youth wanted to get back at society they modified their motorcycles and later cars to be as obnoxious as possible. They would form clubs which turned into gangs... in the late 70s Group 5 racing was replaced by whats known as Super Silhouette. Those cars would bend the chassis rules by fitting super large boxy fenders to increase track width. Cars because crazily shaped hence where the name 'Super Silhouette' came from. Just like any culture, the people wanted to be like the popular racecar drivers they saw on the track so people started copying the body styles. Once again, like any fandom theres always a culture that goes above and beyond emulating a trend.

 

Since the motorcycle and car gangs were already about pushing the limits of styling, it makes sense that what we know call bosozoku styling would mesh well with their personalities.
