If by the effect you mean to the person within the car, it might be because when lightning strikes the car, it acts as a gaussian sphere, wherein the charge resides only on the surface of the car. It might also be because that the car is not grounded and insulated because of rubber tyres.

If lightning strikes your car what happens?
Basically... nothing! You will hear of course a verry big noise, you will see a intense violet light. Possibly you will feel smell of ozone. The lightning will discharge itself through the car's metall body in the ground, and due to the Faraday effect it will not break into the car. It's possible that one or more tires will burst. Keep the windows closed!!! All this is not valable anymore if you are travelling in a soft top car. You will be possibly dead after a lightning strike! ---------------------------------- It can very well blow out the electronics in the car regardless of the rubber tites. I have seen several cases of this happening.
