The horse has become perhaps the most common logo. Horse-drawn carts were the first means of transportation. Then people moved to cars, and the horses moved to the hoods. Brands of cars with a horse on the emblem captivate not so much with their exterior, but with their speed, modern equipment and technical characteristics.

Ferrari
The prancing beautiful horse made the Ferrari brand one of the most recognizable in the world. The classic version of the emblem is a black horse on a yellow background. At the top, the colored stripes symbolize the Italian flag, at the bottom, the letters S and F. Scuderia Ferrari - “Ferrari Stable”, which houses the most graceful high-speed representatives of the auto world.
The history of the brand began back in 1939 with an agreement between Alfa Romeo and racing driver Enzo Ferrari. He was engaged in the production of equipment for Alpha cars. And only 8 years later he began the production of cars under the Ferrari brand. The horse badge on the Ferrari brand cars migrated from the aircraft of World War I ace Francesco Baracca. Since 1947 and to this day, the auto concern remains the first number in the production of high-quality cars, including those for Formula 1.

At the beginning of the last century, all racing cars were assigned their own color, meaning belonging to a particular country. Italy got red. This color is considered a classic for Ferrari and, in combination with the black and yellow emblem, it looks elegant and always modern. In addition, the concern was not afraid to introduce a fashion for a limited edition of cars of a certain model. The rejection of mass production made it possible to produce unique cars at a high price.
During the existence of the brand, more than 120 car models have been produced. Many of them have become classics of the global automotive industry. The legendary Ferrari 250 GT California of 1957 went down in history with ideal proportions and excellent technical characteristics at that time. The convertible was designed specifically for American consumers. Today, "California" can only be purchased at auctions.
Ford Mustang
Originally the horse had to run from left to right. Those are the rules of the hippodrome. But the designers messed up something, and the logo mold turned out to be upside down. They did not fix it, seeing symbolism in this. A wild willful stallion cannot run in the specified direction. He is free like the wind and wild like fire.
At the development stage, the car had a completely different name - "Panther" (Cougar). And the Mustang has already rolled off the assembly line, and the horse has nothing to do with it. Mustangs were the North American P-51 models of World War II aircraft. The sign in the form of a running stallion was developed later, based on the brand name. Beauty, nobility and grace distinguish the mustang in the world of horses, and the Ford Mustang in the world of cars.

It is noteworthy that it was the Ford Mustang that was chosen as the car of the legendary James Bond and appeared on the screens in one of the first Bond films, Goldfinger. Over its fifty-year history, cars of this brand have starred in more than five hundred films.
Mustang racing and drifting models are especially popular with professionals. The aerodynamic body and streamlined lines make these cars often the winners in the toughest and most intense races.
A real beast is the name of the 2020 Mustang GT 500 horse. With a claimed 710 horsepower under the hood, a large splitter, hood vents and a rear wing, this model has become the most high-tech Mustang ever.
Porsche
The horse badge on a Porsche brand car appeared in 1952, when the manufacturer entered the American market. Until that time, starting from the year the brand was founded in 1950, the logo had only the Porsche inscription. The main plant is located in the German city of Stuttgart. The inscription and the stallion on the logo remind that Stuttgart used to be created as a horse farm. The Porsche crest was designed by Franz Xavier Reimspiss.
In the center of the logo is a horse in motion. And the red stripes and horns are the symbols of the German region of Baden-Württemberg, on whose territory the city of Stuttgart is located.
Porsche
The most famous modern models of the company are 718 Boxster/Cayman, Macan and Cayenne. The 2019 Boxster and Cayman are equally precise on the highway and in the city. And the advanced turbocharged four-cylinder engine has made these models the dream of many motorists.
The sports crossover Porsche Cayenne is comfortable with maneuverability, a roomy trunk and perfect mechatronics. The interior of the car also will not leave anyone indifferent. The compact crossover Porsche Macan rolled off the assembly line in 2013. This five-door and five-seat car is ideal for sports, leisure, tourism.
The horse badge on the car of this brand symbolizes old European traditions. Analysts say that 2/3 of the released models still exist and are in operation. This indicates their high quality and reliability. Cars of this brand are recognizable and often appear not only on city streets, but also participate in films and games. An interesting fact: buyers, according to social research, prefer Porsche in red, white and black colors.
KamAZ
The Russian manufacturer of trucks, tractors, buses, combines, diesel units entered the Soviet market in 1969. Serious tasks were set for the auto industry, so for a long time the hands did not reach the logo. First of all, it was necessary to show the fulfillment and overfulfillment of the plan for the production of cars.
The first cars were produced under the ZIL brand, then completely without identification marks. The name "KamAZ" came as an analogue of the name of the Kama River, on which the production stood. And the logo itself appeared only in the mid-80s of the last century thanks to the creative director of the advertising department of KamAZ. This is not just a humpbacked horse, but a real argamak - an expensive thoroughbred oriental horse. This was a tribute to the Tatar traditions, because the production is located in the city of Naberezhnye Chelny.
KamAZ
The firstborn of "KamAZ" - "KamAZ-5320" - cargo tractor onboard type 1968 release. Application found in construction, industry and economic activity. It is so versatile that only in 2000 the plant decided to make cosmetic changes to this model.
The KamAZ-5511 dump truck can be put in second place. Despite the fact that the production of these cars has already been discontinued, on the streets of small towns there are still instances called “redheads” by the people for the remarkable bright orange color of the cab.
Baojun
"Baojun" in translation sounds like "Precious Horse". Baojun is a young brand. The first car with a horse logo rolled off the assembly line in 2010. A proud profile symbolizes confidence and strength.
The most common model that entered the Western market under the well-known Chevrolet logo is the Baojun 510 crossover. The Chinese came up with an interesting move - they released their car under a well-known brand. As a result, sales grow, everyone wins.
Budget seven-seater universal hatchback Baojun 310 is simple and concise, but, nevertheless, is not inferior in performance to similar cars.
Baojun
The 730 Baojun 2017 minivan is the second most popular minivan in China. Modern appearance, high-quality interior, 1.5 "Turbo" gasoline engine and rear multi-link suspension favorably distinguish this model in the middle class of Chinese cars.
Many Chinese brands have logos with difficult to remember hieroglyphs and are focused only on the domestic market. Baojun is not one of them. Budget Chinese cars with a horse emblem successfully compete with similar models in the world market. A few years ago it looked like a timid attempt to create a competitive car. Recently, the Chinese have launched the auto industry at full capacity.
Now the Chinese car market overtakes even the US market. In 2018, the Chinese sold a third more cars than the Americans. Budget Chinese cars are an excellent competitor to the domestic products of AvtoVAZ - Lada XRay and Lada Kalina.
Iran
Iran Khodro is a leading auto concern not only in Iran, but also in the entire Near and Middle East. The company, founded in 1962 by the Khayami brothers, annually produces more than 1 million cars. The manufacturer started with the production of auto parts, the next step was the assembly of cars of other brands at the sites of Iran Khodro, then the company released its own products. Pickups, trucks, cars, buses win over buyers. There is nothing "horse" in the name of the company. Iran Khodro in translation sounds like "Iranian car".
Iran
Samand is translated from Iranian as "swift horse", "horse". The model is produced worldwide by different car factories. It is interesting in one detail - a galvanized body, which is a rarity in a number of similar cars. There is no need to worry about reagents and the abrasive effect of sand.
Runna became the second car of the Iranian company. This model is smaller than its predecessor "Samanda", but it is not inferior to modern equipment. The automaker plans to produce up to 150 thousand copies of Ranne per year, which indicates a great demand among buyers.
In the Russian market, Iranian cars are presented in a limited edition.
