But you know what? As industrial works of art, many cars have their own nicknames, and each one is more interesting than the other. Even the nicknames of many cars are so famous that people forget their original names.
Today we will talk about the classic car names in the automobile industry. Don't talk too much, hit the keyboard!
Spicy steamed bread-Volkswagen Ling Du?
Before the advent of the 10 Civic, Ling Du, with a short and spacious body, has always been the representative of the young sports in this compact model and a frequent visitor to major modification activities.
Speaking of the origin of the name "spicy steamed bread", it is said that a guest of the variety show "Run, Brothers" pronounced it "spicy steamed bread" when learning English in Ling Du.
Actually, I don't blame the guests. After all, Ling Du's English name is "Lamando". If you read this word faster, the transliteration is really similar to the pronunciation of "spicy steamed bread".
Ares-Nissan GT-R?
As early as the last century, Nissan GT-R was known as the "God of War" because of its excellent refitting performance of the road version, and the record of 50 victories of Le Mans GT 1967- 1972 made it "god sealed" again.
Subsequently, from the early 1990s, GT-R(R32) began to sweep the Macau Grand Prix, Japan GT Grand Prix Group A, Japan JGTC and other events, thus continuing the legend of "God of War".
However, Nissan GT-R's reputation as "God of War" does not only exist in sports events. GT-R(R35) broke through 100 in less than 3 seconds, killing the outstanding performance of several luxury sports cars, making it once again the title of "Japanese God of War" and being sought after by young people.
Bobcats-Mitsubishi Pajero?
For cross-country enthusiasts, Mitsubishi Pajero, who has fought in Dakar Rally for more than 30 years, is an eternal classic. Even if it fades out of consumers' sight now, it is still difficult to hide its legend.
Pajero's name comes from Pajero, an agile wildcat living in Patagonia, Argentina, South America, which is translated as "bobcat" in Chinese. The early Pajero round headlights are bionic bobcat eyes.
As a cross-country master, Pajero has a world-renowned housekeeping skill-S-AWC super-selected four-wheel drive system, which is why Pajero's cross-country performance is well-known in the industry and is believed by many cross-country enthusiasts.
Civilian Super Run-Honda Fit?
"Fit Boy" is an out-and-out grocery car in essence, with low price, large space, durability and excellent fuel economy. It is sought after by consumers in both Japan and the domestic market.
Secondly, Fit is also the darling of the refitting industry, and it can be seen in all major domestic competitions. And the third generation Fit (GK5), the strength of the pull-up group gives it outstanding speed-up ability. To this end, it is rumored that "three seconds is faster than fit".
Top power performance and hatchback figure make Fit jump into the ranks of small steel guns, so that many riders boast and affectionately call it "civilian super-run GK5", and even Japanese locals are used to calling it that.
Street Fighter-Mitsubishi Lan Se?
Speaking of Lan Se, many people think of WRC cross-country race, but few people know that Lan Se, who is good at manipulation and performance, is not only proud in the arena, but also like a duck to water in the workshop, and was once called "street fighter".
In fact, the earliest Lan Se was born for WRC events, which not only ended the dominance of Subaru STI in WRC events, but also set a record of winning the championship for four consecutive years.
However, with more and more new talents appearing in WRC events, Mitsubishi Lan Se's light in WRC events gradually faded. But even so, its final confrontation with Subaru STI is still fresh in people's minds.
Niu Wangmo-Toyota?
Toyota Supra is one of the "four street sports cars in Japan", and we often say that "Niu Wangmo" refers to the fourth generation Supra. Supra series model 1978 was put into production in 2002, but in 20 17, it was reported that Toyota intended to revive Supra.
In 1990s, major Japanese car companies were developing performance cars regardless of cost, among which Mazda RX-7, Nissan GT-R, Honda NSX and Toyota Supra were typical representatives. Because of the frequent occurrence of performance vehicles, relevant Japanese departments have to introduce policies to limit vehicle performance.
However, Supra's seemingly mild original factory data contains great potential. The modified performance engine 2JZ can explode thousands of horsepower, and the lightweight body has excellent linear acceleration performance, so it has the titles of "Niu Wangmo", "Speed Master" and "Pork Chop".
Biting shark-Lexus is?
Altezza, many people may find this word strange. It is actually the English name of Lexus IS before it was registered in Europe and North America. Because its transliteration is similar to Cantonese "shark-eating", it has been dubbed "shark-eating" by netizens.
The early Altezza (Lexus IS200) was dominated by movement and control, with front and rear drive layout, 2.0L inline six-cylinder self-priming engine (numbered 3S-GE) and double wishbone suspension, which had great modification potential, so it was favored by modification enthusiasts at home and abroad.
Altezza changed its name to Lexus IS. Compared with BMW 3 Series, although the sports performance compromises the comfort, as the saying goes, you never know what engine will be hidden under the cover of Altezza, and the playability of IS is still there.
Famous Mountain Cars in Autumn-Wuling Hong Guang?
There is a saying: "You never know how many people can come down from Wuling Hong Guang". With its superior ability to pull goods and carry passengers, Wuling Hong Guang has become a good car buyer for many small bosses who want to earn a little money.
As we all know, under the appearance of super-large space, there is a kind of "super power" that can come to the sidelines anytime and anywhere. Manual gear, front and rear drive, "S" performance standard, lack of ESP stabilization system and proper drift artifact.
More interestingly, its brand logo is very similar to Corvette, a sports car owned by GM. Some netizens ridiculed that Wuling Hong Guang continued to turn 7200, and I don't know who won or lost; On the other hand, it also appeared on the cover of Forbes, and was hailed as the most important car on earth.
In many impressions, it is impolite to choose a flower name, but in the automobile industry, if a model has a unique nickname, it can often leave a deep impression on consumers, and Prado, Pajero, Ling Du and other models are the best evidence.
In fact, in addition to the above, there are many models in the car industry that have their own unique aliases. They are talked about by many consumers because their aliases are unique enough. So, what other strange nicknames do you know about cars?
