膜拜系列 or 邪教系列


Explanation:
Cult car :
A car which has many enthusiastic owners, but may not necessarily be a classic or milestone car.

http://www.carkeys.co.uk/columns/david_finlay/543.asp
http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleDetail.aspx?Article...

These both are articles about Cult Cars. In which case 膜拜 or 邪教 or maybe even 崇拜 would be an accurate adjective, whereas Cult = 风靡一时的, in a sense. An example below...
Her books aren't bestsellers, but they have a certain cult following.
她的书算不上畅销书,但有一定的崇拜者。

膜拜系列 or 邪教系列 may describe a series. But even in English, I've never seen "Cult series" used aside from describing a TV series. Google it to see what i mean. Cult is used in the sense above though in this context.

  -> haha, yeah but you have to think of that fact they don't have a accurate direct translation for "cult classic" in Chinese (yet?), closest is describing it (风靡一时的,) or the follwers, maybe like 崇拜者... either way, thanks for the comment :)
