The ‘vanning’ craze begun in the USA, but ended up in Japan.
Now, it seems that Vossen wants to teach some Japanese van culture in the land of muscle cars and hot USDMs.
Every ongoing trend was adopted and refined by various tuners straight from the streets, and the Japanese seem to be the best at coming up with outrageous motoring movements. That said, it’s just a matter of time before the next big thing hits the scene straight from Japan.
Mind you, this clash of cultures is present everywhere, as US and European folk adopt Japanese trends and vice-versa. In fact, the U.S. motoring culture has a lot of followers in Japan.
Anyway, with this mad, bagged Nissan Quest, Vossen wants to raise awareness about this unexplored part of Japanese car culture.
Like in other major car segments, van tuning is divided in several categories. Anyone can go from old-school to airbrushed, to Kei and to American, but it seems the VIP approach is getting the most of it.
Vans such as this Nissan Quest get the same treatment as any “regular” VIP Japanese luxobarge – aggressive wheel fitment, aggressive low stance and an air suspension to drop it to the ground. An oxymoron approach to something that should have been a comfortable means of transportation, don’t you think?
A clean look with a darker color is always preferred, as a VIP needs to make a statement without standing out from the crowd. Mind you, with a dropped, murdered-out van sitting on Vossen VFS1 wheels, it’s kind of hard to go unnoticed.
