On taking a photo of a sky above landscape. I was very quite but suddenly two cars came from two different directions.
I pushed my release butten and this was the result. The front lights of one car and the tail lights of the other one seem to go through eachother. Fortunately the cars passed eachother without collapsing.

Think this photo effect is remarkable and would like to hear some explanations ?

The explination is that the shutter was open for an extended period of time gathering the light necessary to sufficiently duplicate the background. Suddenly two much brighter light sources enter the frame. The light from these sources is bright enough that it registers on the sensor as it passes through. You'll notice that not enough light was gathered from the cars, so they hardly show up, although the car with the taillights is still in the frame when the shuttered closed.

I would say, "Good job" but "nice luck" would probably be better.
