In deference to the team's motto of "Bloom in Chaos" the StudioVRM.Racing Team assigns each of its race vehicles a flower-themed name. Kikka was the car that started this tradition. ​ Kikka "the Citrus Blossom" owes its name to the dazzling white flowers of the thorny Tachibana orange plant. In its native Japan, the Tachibana blossom is regarded as a symbol of remembrance and perpetual youth - much like the ever-evolving, 30-year-old 4th gen Honda Prelude that shares its name.
