Carrera Panamericana Mexico

I did some research on the internet the other day about the origin of the Panamera's name. Then I found out that

The car's name "Panamera" was inspired by the Carrera Panamericana Mexico, a public road race held in Mexico in the early 1950s, from which the 911 "Carrera" was named, as well as the 1989 "Panamericana" In 1989, a concept car named "Panamericana" was also announced.
*Text source.Wikipedia, "Porsche Panamera".

It was written. Oh, really?Carrera Panamericana Mexico.was the wildest and toughest race in the world at the time. It was a phantom race that was held for only five years, from 1950 to 1954, due to the fact that driver fatalities occurred every year.

And yet, from therePanamera.(Carrera was also inspired by that race.)I wonder if it was a race that he was so attached to that he named it "The Race of the Year".

What is the translation of the name of a Japanese car?

The name of a car is very important. It determines the image of the car, it has to be something that does not have strange connotations when compared to the languages of various countries, and it has to be something that will be loved by fans for decades to come. When I thought about this, I suddenly wondered what people overseas think of Japanese car names, so I did a little research.

■Nissan
Skyline ... horizon
Fairlady Z... beautiful young lady.

■Toyota
Crown Athlete - Crown Competitor
AQUA - Water
Velphire ... quiet.
Mark II - Target 2

■Honda
Insight... Insight
Fit...perfectly.

... (-_-)

It's a little subtle...some of the cars are marketed under different names overseas, and maybe some of them were not initially expected to be marketed overseas...but still, "Crown Competitor, want a ride?" or "Beautiful lady, let's go for a test drive!" but I still think it's weird. I feel that naming is very difficult these days.
