As we all know, the Logo of some car brands use an animal to symbolize the brand story, and they often listen to "cow", "horse" and "snake" as brands, but I wonder if the car names under the brand can make up all the types of the 12 Zodiacs? Maybe you haven’t heard of those car names.
Rat ranks first in the zodiac. However, in the story of the zodiac, its first place is not a glorious thing. It lied to the cat and played with the cow. The Jade Emperor refused at first, but you are joking. You can only declare the mouse as the first place in the zodiac. In real life, the living environment and body image of mice are very poor. How can a car factory name a "mouse crossing the street"? That is the rhythm of throwing eggs and bananas. It would be nice to have a tall name. Yes, there is no solution to this question and answer!
2. [Lamborghini Miura-cattle]
In fact, it’s not very wrong for MAUS to carry "mice" without mass production, and the second cow in the zodiac is really worthy of the name. Yes, you really think of it-Italian supercar Lamborghini, the brand Logo is taken from Taurus of the twelve constellations, the overall gas field emitted by the body lines is like an angry bull, and the name of the model series is also a famous bull that really exists in the history of bullfighting.
3: [Opel Tigra-Tiger]
Opel’s first generation Opel Tigra came out. It was built on the Corsa chassis. That is to say, it redesigned Corsa and turned it into a 2+2 coupe. The shadow of Corsa can be seen inside and outside. What kind of car is Corsa? Anyway, it doesn’t look like a tiger. However, Opel Tigra doesn’t look like a tiger either. The only thing that can be explained is the design of the B-pillar, which creates a direct sense of Tigra catching prey. The compact body with 1.4L or 1.6L engine is quite like a small steel gun, and its 1.4L and 1.6L can output 90 horsepower and 106 horsepower respectively. In addition, it also has a twin brother-Chevrolet Tigra, and these two little tigers are very popular in the hands of modified players abroad (it seems that Tigra is very vivid in appearance).
4. [VW golf (rabbit)-rabbit]
The backbone of Volkswagen Group is the well-known VW Golf. Golf models have an exclusive name-Rabbit, the origin of which is named. It needs to go back to the 1970s, and the Beetle, which once created great wealth and glory for the VW family, is drawing to a close. Volkswagen Group is determined to launch a brand-new car series to replace the Beetle’s status as a national car, and it is also a "cheap car" as a starting point.
5: [Dongfeng CA71-Dragon]
Dragon, as a kind of deity created by the ancient people in China by combining various animals and celestial phenomena, is naturally a spiritual symbol of great power. When it comes to China people’s first car, some people in the mainland say it is "Hongqi CA71" and some people in Taiwan Province say it is "Jinlong CA71", but the most correct name is Dongfeng CA71. In 1958, it was produced by China FAW Factory. It was designed with reference to the modeling of French Simca Vedette, and the details were added with China national characteristics (for example, the dragon Logo on the front of the car and the lantern-shaped taillight design on the rear of the car). As for the "Golden Dragon" in Taiwan Province, it came from the three-dimensional logo of the dragon on the front of the car.
6: [Dodge Viper-Snake]
For those fans who like to enjoy super sports cars silently, Viper, the top performance sports car owned by Dodge, will not be unfamiliar, while Viper is a general term for about 200 kinds of poisonous snakes, and their digestive systems are very powerful. Some of them start to digest while swallowing, and even spit out bones. Don’t say it, I’m so scared!
To some extent, the Dodge Viper is equally frightening. Since 1992, the first generation of Viper has been equipped with an 8.0L V10 engine. If you can correctly interpret these two numbers, I believe that what you see is not the strength of 400hp, but since then, 8.4L V10, or even a thousand horsepower models have appeared, which attracts the wild swing of the tail at any time. Viper, like a frightened viper in a man-machine contest, is really difficult to control. However, Americans are naturally wild and nervous, and with the appearance of American muscles and the fluent lines of super sports cars, there are many fans who fall in love with snake venom.
7: [Hyundai Pony-Horse]
Speaking of horses, it is easy to think of BMW and Ferrari. However, this is not the name of the car. Apart from the well-known Maxima, Thunderbolt and Mustang entering the China market, in fact, everything in the world has a growth process, that is to say, it is not born so big. Before it becomes a big horse, it will always go through the period of pony. In the automobile world, the models named Pony are Hyundai Pony and Mustang Pony. The originator of the word "Pony" was Ford Mustang (named in 1965), while Hyundai Pony appeared in 1975, both of which are products of the same era, and there is no generation gap problem, but one of them is very tasty.
8: [Yulong Flying antelope 101-sheep]
"Tangle Lun" endorsed "Na Zhijie", and more people quickly learned about a new brand. However, many friends didn’t know that it was the brand of Yulong Automobile Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and Yulong’s "Flying Eagle 101" was the first self-designed vehicle in the history of China Taiwan Province automobile industry.
Flying antelope, a medium-sized African antelope, was named after Yulong’s high-level officials who went to Africa and saw a vigorous antelope. No, no, no! In other words, do you know the origin of the "ADIDAS" logo of Geely brand in its early years? The Logo was obtained through a large reward.
9: [Ford escort-monkey]
After Ford Escort(1968-2004) stopped production, its replacement model became Focus, and Escort returned to the market, and it is now Forrest. The word Escort means "Escort". In that year, the first generation of escort was introduced and put into production in Taiwan Province, and it was named "Yashi", and by the way, it was nicknamed "Little King Kong" (the monkey is sharp, and it was planned to summon the dragon 40 years ago).
10: [Plymouth superbird-chicken]
In the 1920s, under the leadership of NASCAR events in the south of the United States, Stock Racing culture became popular all over the United States, and the streets and stadiums in the United States were almost full of cars with reinforced models. Under this environment, a model was born-Plymouth (acquired by Chrysler) launched Road Runner Superbird.
Chickens belong to birds. Nissan has a "blue bird" and Plymouth has a "Superbird". Obviously, the most appropriate car in the context is the Super Bird. It has a low flat front, exaggerated aerodynamic kit, slender whole car lines and super-large tail, and its body is lightweight, which is a sports car built to win NASCAR events.
11: [Aston Martin Bulldog-Dog]
Aston Martin has always walked the rivers and lakes in an elegant and noble manner. However, back then, it released a concept car named Bulldog. This was a design project named DP K9.01 (code name) in 1979. Aston Martin was born in Britain, but it is a Zuotuo model. There is no information to show it, so it is impossible to study it carefully. However, since it is a concept car, it doesn’t matter.
Bulldog is equipped with a 5.3L twin-turbo V8 engine, which can output 600hp maximum horsepower and 678 N·m maximum torque. What’s important is that its length is about 4.7 meters, its height is less than 1.1 meters, its sharp lines and gull-wing doors set an astonishing speed of 307 km/h (191 mph) in the same year. Unfortunately, there is only one Aston Martin Bulldog (pictured below) in the world, and the other 24 cars have disappeared from the earth.
12: [Porsche 917/20 Pink Pig-Pig]
Porsche 917 has the reputation of "the most beautiful racing car in the world", but 917/20 is like a beautiful accident. Its car body is greatly widened, and the wheel arch is rounded and thrown outward. The original slender body lines of 917 K/917 L are obviously fattened on 917/20. After seeing this racing car, Martini (the main sponsor of Porsche) thinks that 917/20 is longer. The Porsche Car Factory also laughed at itself, changed its body into pink paint, and then marked the pork cutting pattern on the body (pig body) with dotted lines. Later, people began to call it "Pink Big".
However, there is no doubt that the 917/20 is definitely a product of "dressing up as a pig to eat a tiger", and its straight and curved performance exceeds that of the 917.
K, unfortunately, because of the failure of the braking system, Pink Big appeared in the competition for a short time, but its unique shape and painting were deeply reflected in people’s hearts, and it was also in 24 Hours.
Write a cordial page in the history of of Le Mans racing.
