Why "horse"?

This time Taycan, aBased on the image of the prancing horse in the center of the Porsche emblemI have my own guess as to why they did it.

Even if it becomes an electric car, Porsche will remain a sports car manufacturer. In other words, the car was named after the prancing horse of the Porsche emblem because it was developed with a strong awareness of going back to the basics and being the original Porsche.

I wonder if it's not.(I'm just guessing, so I could be wrong, or rather, I'll be wrong)

Also, I heard that Ferdinand Porsche first built an electric car, and this year is the 70th anniversary, so I wonder if he wanted to be aware of the "origin" of all these meanings.

Surprising similarities between Ferrari and Porsche

Well, it seems that the "prancing horse" on the Ferrari emblem and the "prancing horse" on the Porsche emblem are based on the same prancing horse, which is the emblem of the city of Stuttgart.

They certainly look a lot alike.

I understand that Porsche uses a prancing horse, the emblem of the city of Stuttgart, Germany, where its headquarters are located. But why would Ferrari, an Italian car manufacturer, use a horse that is the emblem of the city of Stuttgart?

Unexpected past episodes.

I looked it up on the Internet and found that the episode dates back to World War I.

Ferrari's symbol, the prancing horse, is said to have originated from the mark that the Italian pilot Francesco Baracca, a national hero, wore on his fighter plane.

During the Great War, pilots wereHe used to put enemy marks on his fighters as proof that he himself had shot them down.The legendary Italian pilot Francesco Baracca, known as the "King of Shootdowns," also wore the mark on his fighter plane as proof that he had shot down a fighter plane from his old enemy in Stuttgart, Germany.

He would be killed in action in 1918, butHis parents were later impressed by Ferrari founder Enzo Ferrari's racing exploits and gave their son the prancing horse emblem that had been his symbol.

I see... Ferrari is depicted in the color scheme of the Italian flag, while Porsche has a "prancing horse" in the color scheme of the German flag, but they were enemies when they played against each other, and now they are carrying the same crest as healthy rivals who have been introducing great cars to the world, which is kind of a touching story.

Knowing the history and roots of something changes the image and feelings toward it, doesn't it? Let's take this opportunity to do some research.
