Automotive Animal Brands - Part 2

For more than a hundred years, when the automotive world was born forever, new brands of automakers were identified by a specific logo. Someone earlier, someone later, but a particular brand has always had its own identifier. Mercedes has its star, Rover has a Viking boat, and Ford has a beautifully spelled proper name. However, on the road we can meet many cars that strongly identify with animals. Why did this manufacturer simply choose an animal as their logo? What was he in charge of at that moment? Introducing another wild car brand.

Lamborghini - charging bull

The Lamborghini brand was born out of its founder's frustration with Enza Ferrari's attitude towards him as a customer. Ferrari didn't take Lamborghini's advice to heart, which could be further improved in the new model, so he set out to build the perfect car himself. So intriguing was the beginning, and the result was a real competition for Ferrari cars. Lamborghini was a millionaire who originally made tractors and heating equipment. He hired Italian engineers to work on his designs. The powerful V12 four-cam engine from Bizzarrini was the ideal basis for a supercar. For the sake of this unique body and competition for Ferrari was ready. As a symbol of its brand, Lamborghini adopted its zodiac sign, which on the emblem assumes a position of readiness for attack.

Peugeot Liu

Peugeot is one of the oldest brands in the automotive market. This family business originally produced tools and household appliances, but focused on knives. And it was these blades that forced the lion we know today to hit the masks of the French cars we know. The lion was meant to remind customers of three characteristics of blades. Cutting speed, tooth resistance and flexibility. At the end of the century, the company gradually focused on the production of internal combustion vehicles. As it turned out later, it was a great success.

Ford Mustang - young, wild horse

With its appearance, the Ford Mustang changed the face of not only the Ford brand, but the entire American automotive industry. His debut took place in 1964. It was Ford's first true sports car and gave rise to a new class of so-called "Pony Cars", a car for young people. It took a long time to decide what name to choose for a car that was supposed to revolutionize the market of young and courageous buyers. In the end, a galloping young horse was adopted as a symbol, and the car became known as the Mustang. It was supposed to symbolize freedom, freedom and strength. Looking back, we can say that the name was the most appropriate.

Jaguar – just Jaguar…

Although the first car called the Jaguar was not released until World War II, its origins date back to the twenties of the last century. Initially, the cars were called SS, and since 1935 SS - Jaguar. After 1945, the use of the letters SS was abandoned. Although the pre-war SS vehicles were very beautiful, after a brutal war they were associated with Nazi activities. Jaguar bouncy as a visiting card was given to cars by the owner. Sir William Lyons believed that the jaguar symbolized true grace and elegance. Was he wrong?
