(nothing against dbz - i like it a lot) but it juz kinda change the one piece world...
and smoke or vapor emitting from rubber just aint right... imagine burnt rubber... that would smell awful...

I believe Luffy himself called the change in his body a 'Gear'. Just like shifting gears in a car, he has found a way to shift his entire body into a higher gear (he fought Blueno in 'Gear Second', and was about to go to Third, but then Blueno cracked).
How he developed this technique is unclear and might get explained later on, when he uses it in front of his nakama and they ask him about it. It might have something to do with the Rubber ability, like changing the consistency of the rubber to make it stronger or whatever. Or it could be something completely different.
