Lacking fenders or protective guards; unprotected or without bumpers.
From 'fender' (protective device) combined with '-less' (without or lacking). Modern coinage reflecting the rise of sleeker car designs that minimize traditional fender panels.
Modern sports cars are often fenderless in the classic sense—their bodywork blends smoothly without the jutting fenders of 1950s cars, which is both more aerodynamic and significantly more expensive to repair when damaged.
