I take design inspiration from lightning bug. It is very popular in such a tropical environments like my hometown. Everybody would like to put '-y' after any affection things. So that why I called this concept is buggy.
In the first glance, buggy has very attractive smoothly curvature and impressive lightning trim. You probably have some misconceptions if you are limited by the reference to the fundamental of 'automotive' in normal and your imagination as well.
