αφορά βαν. καταλαβαίνω ότι αναφέρεται στο ύψος, βρίσκω και το εξής:

"Profile isn't anything to due to a 'look at me' factor. It's a tall vehicle. Nearly all 18 wheelers are high profile, and if you hear an advisory for high profile vehicle, this they are talking about wind."

Explanation:
Εxtracts from various commentators' ideas
{''I suppose that this depends on who is defining the term “high profile”.

In general, high profile just means that the vehicle in question stands out in some way that your would make your average schmoe might notice it in traffic. Most likely, it’s the vehicle itself: A Lamborghini (any model) is a high-profile vehicle by almost any definition. A Rolls-Royce slightly less so because of its more conservative styling.

You can turn a cheap car into a high profile vehicle with any number of relatively low-budget tactics - loud mufflers, loud paint job, loud bodywork, et cetera. This usually attracts attention, and that attention makes the vehicle high-profile, even though it might also be an eyesore in the minds of some people.

High-profile vehicles also tend to attract the attention of the local constabulary.}

How about a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO?

Yes that’s right. It’s only 52 Million Dollars.

Forget your Lambos, Bugattis, Koenigseggs, etc. If you want to come off as a “high roller” and own a hight profile/end car.
