The brand of the car with the Horse - on which car is the emblem with the horse?

What brand of car with a horse?

The brand of the car with the Horse... The horse is most often depicted at a gallop in motion, with a thick fluttering mane. The buyer should not have a shadow of a doubt that a car with a horse badge is exactly what they need.

Car brands with a horse on the emblem symbolize strength, speed, audacity and power. We all remember that even the power of a car is measured in horsepower.

The image of animals is often found on the image of clothing (for example, a crocodile, a bear or a fox), but the automotive industry also uses animals as logos, but much less frequently. Usually these are images of animals that are associated with speed. The horse has historically been one of the most popular modes of transport, which is why many car companies use the image of a horse as a logo.

Here are the most popular horse car brands.

Ford Mustang

Logo brand Auto Ford Mustang with a horse

as logos for most cars Ford a blue oval with the inscription Ford is used. But for the Ford Mustang, a different logo was chosen - a horse or a galloping horse. Moreover, a separate class of cars was named after this car - Pony Car. This was the name of the cars for their pronounced sporty appearance and weak engine, which were equipped with cars in the basic (cheapest) configuration.

At the time of development, 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 prancing stallion was developed later, based on the brand name. Beauty, nobility and grace distinguish the Mustang breed in the world of horses, and the Ford Mustang in the world of cars.

KamAZ

KAMAZ brand logo with a horse

Talking about horse car brands, we must not forget about the famous KamaAZ logo. The logo of this Russian truck-only brand also features a horse (argamak, a wild steppe horse). 

The Russian manufacturer of trucks, tractors, buses, combine harvesters, and diesel units entered the Soviet market in 1969. The tasks set for auto production were ambitious, so for quite a long time they didn’t get around to creating a logo. First of all, it was necessary to show the fulfillment and overfulfillment of the car production plan.

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.
