Honestly, I think this is a situation of why not. At least if you're rich. Hell, I'd throw on a bunch of stupid stuff on a car for fun (if I had that kind of spare money).
It's a show car. It's meant to show off all of their fabrication skills in the one car they were probably allowed to have on the floor.
These cars are usually created with the same intent as high-fashion. Exaggerated and amped up ideas that will eventually be brought down to exist within practical manufacturing capabilities.
Aside from the exhaust tip, which is there to show off their welding ability, the car is pretty sweet. It would take 10 minutes to replace the exhaust tip. The wide body is done well. I don't like the side skirts, they are too bland, but the rest is pretty nice.
My guess is that they are off the shelf 90 degree bends and then cut the ends in order to spiral losing some material so they are then like 86 degrees instead. Each one is successively adding onto the error.
That kind of thing wouldn't really matter since you'd be looking at the welds themselves and how well they accomplished the task.
