The reason for that is that it's a format, set across the Wiki for similar objects. These are cars (and other items featuring less often) that have the same name as another car (or item). For this reason, they're given an attribute that differentiates them from the other, which is put in brackets and italics (to differentiate from cars that actually feature brackets in their name).

Since under normal formatting, the actual name has standard font and the added part is italicised, the reverse applies when the name is under an italicised format.

You might notice that you actually linked the other car, not the one you edited. This is why some cars' name is edited slightly, while making it (hopefully) obvious what part of their name is not official.

If the way it is currently bothers you, feel free to change all the similar pages as the first link you listed, not the second. This is just a standard result of inserting the link in source mode, then using visual mode to italicise the portion in question.

Finally, the automated welcome message links to the rules. Perhaps you should read them as suggested, as it would have avoided you breaking them with your first edit :)
