You lose if you know 10. Do you know how these car nicknames come from?

Although China does not have the historical depth of developed countries such as Europe, America and Japan, with the rise of domestic automobile production and marketing industry, some unique "local cultures" have been bred over the years, and nicknames of some automobile brands and models are interesting. Many people may know that "God of War" refers to Nissan GT-R and "Bobcat" refers to Mitsubishi Pajero, but many people don't know the origin of these nicknames. In this regard, we have sorted out some car nicknames and their origins, and know that 10 is a real car fan.

Honda Super Run Fit GK5

According to the truth, "Fit Boy" is an out-and-out grocery cart, which is cheap, spacious, durable and very fuel-efficient. It is very popular and has always occupied the first place in the sales of joint venture small SUVs. More importantly, Fit is the darling of the refitting industry, especially with the appearance of the third generation Fit (code GK5), GK5 equipped with 1.5L Earth Dream Engine (13 1) can achieve 160 horsepower output only by strengthening the power system, and ran out of/in Guangdong International Circuit.

Ares-Nissan GT-R

In fact, the reputation of "God of War" was already obtained as early as the first generation GT-R(R380, a racing car modified based on the road version), and the Le Mans GT 1967- 1972 set a record of 50 consecutive victories, which was "a blessing to the gods". Then from the early 1990s, GT-R(R32) swept the Macau Grand Prix, Japan GT Grand Prix Group A, Japan JGTC and other events, continuing the legend of "God of War". It can be seen that the reputation of "God of War" is not only the familiar GT-R(R35), but its performance in less than 3 seconds has earned it the seal of "Japanese God of War" again.

Japan Ferrari-Honda NSX

The first generation Honda NSX is made in Ken Okuyama, and it is the first model in the world to use all-aluminum body technology on production cars, which embodies all the cutting-edge engine technologies of Honda, and has been tested and tuned by F 1 car god Senna. Its performance pointed to Ferrari 328, 348 and other famous supercars at that time. With excellent handling performance, NSX is a blockbuster, and it was recognized by the global media at the beginning of its listing, and its reputation as "Japanese Ferrari" is well deserved.

Suba, Pork Chop and Niu Wangmo —— Toyota's fourth generation Supra

Although it was discontinued five years ago, we can often see the fourth generation Supra in the 0 1 and 04 linear acceleration races and modification circles. Because this generation of Supra is the darling of the refit circle, the power output can reach more than 600 horses with a little upgrade of the power system, and it can't be less than 1.500 horses, so it is the ever-victorious general in the linear acceleration race, hence the name "speed master" and "Niu Wangmo". However, because it is too heavy, the unmodified prototype originally lacks mobility, and it is criticized as "pork chop" on the track.

Mitsubishi Pajero-Bobcat

Mitsubishi motors, which has gradually faded out of our sight, still has a certain weight in the off-road field. Mitsubishi Pajero has created a generation of legends in more than 30 years of Dakar Rally. For cross-country fans, Pajero is an eternal classic. As for the origin of Pajero's name, it comes from a vigorous and agile wild cat living in Patagonia, Argentina, South America. Its name is Pajero, which means "bobcat" in Chinese, which means that Pajero can gallop in the mountains like a bobcat. Early Pajero's round headlights were actually bionic bobcat eyes.

A prostitute and a prostitute-Porsche

It is hard to imagine that Porsche with good brand and performance will have a nickname called "whore", but in fact this is only a transliteration of Porsche English, and the Chinese pronunciation is similar to "whore", hence the name. In addition, as for the nickname "Bo Zi", it comes from Hong Kong people, and Cantonese people are also used to calling Porsche Bo Zi.

Spicy Steamed Bread-Ling Du

SAIC Volkswagen Ling Du actually has a very foreign English name-Lamando, which is pronounced as "spicy steamed bread". At the beginning of listing, Ling Du became popular with sports design, and now it still has sales performance of nearly 10,000 vehicles per month. The nickname "Spicy Steamed Bread" has also been fermented in forums in Ling Du. Over time, everyone likes to call it that.

Street fighter and asparagus-Mitsubishi EVO

Mitsubishi EVO, the arch-rival of Subaru impreza WRX Sti, was delisted after it developed into the tenth generation model, but it was the "spokesperson" of street sports cars before the tenth generation EVO. The name "Street Fighter" not only comes from its powerful 4G63 red hair power, but also has great modification potential, and it never leaves the leaderboard. The thick exhaust tail throat brings the sound of street bombing, and with the charming turbine pressure relief valve, it is simply the image of a street fighter. Especially in the 1990s, EVO conquered many consumers with its powerful performance. Even if domestic consumers can't afford to buy EVO (the price is very expensive, with about 500,000 naked cars), they are willing to replace domestic Wing Shen and Lan Se (which have been discontinued) with EVO, which shows that there are countless fans of EVO. As for the name "asparagus", it comes from its transliteration of the abbreviation "lution" in the second half of the English Lancer Evolution.

Subaru broom man

When Subaru entered China, we were not familiar with the brand Subaru. On the contrary, we are interested in the automobile products brought by Fuji Heavy Industries, which Hong Kong people prefer to call Fuji. However, with the promotion of Subaru brand by Fuji Heavy Industries (20 17, Fuji Heavy Industries changed its name to Subaru, a joint-stock company), it was named Subaru of China in China. According to its transliteration, Guangdong and Hong Kong, Cantonese-speaking areas, nicknamed it "broom man".

Lady-Nissan Fairlady Z

It is said that many consumers may not know the origin of Nissan Fairlady Z series models, but people who say that 350Z and 370Z may be concerned about cars have heard about it. Yes, Fairlady Z is actually the name of Japan's domestic market, 350Z and 370Z are names outside Japan, and "lady" is the Chinese translation of English Fairlady.

Hillbilly-mini countryman

BMW's Mini is actually a noble brand with a well-known family. Although the car is small and the price is not low, as the name suggests, the Mini has always been a "car". 20 1 1 It's hard for everyone to accept the brand-new Countryman series with larger size, just as everyone is not optimistic about Porsche as an SUV, but Countryman has also become the best-selling model of Mini in China. Chicken-Nissan Sylvia series

As we all know, Nissan Silvia S series with front and rear drive is very famous in the drift world. Silvia S 13 was actually listed and sold in hong kong before mainland consumers contacted it. Due to the combination of front and rear drive, the car body is light (1200kg) and the horsepower is high (SR20DET turbine engine, 205 horses). This car is very easy to make a drifting action-tail flick. Finally, this car has strong power and no handling performance. Eye- Honda Sixth Generation Civic EK3

Speaking of Chinese people's understanding of Civic, in fact, the 6th generation Civic EK3 (sedan five-door version) released by Honda 1995 began to flow into the domestic market. The setting of the front double wishbone and the rear multi-link is destined to be born for sports and is also a frequent visitor to the circuit. It is this generation of cars that has established a good brand image of Civic in China. Because of its large headlights, it is called "big-eyed chicken" by players in the industry.

Snickers-Toyota Celica

This snickers frame is not a delicious snickers frame, but the nickname of Toyota's entry-level sports car Celica, which was translated from it and introduced into the domestic market in small quantities.

Fat Dragon-Bugatti Veyron

At the beginning of the release of Bugatti Veyron, domestic consumers called it "Veyron", and then it entered the domestic market and officially announced its Chinese name as Hang Wei, but it was named because it was loaded with a 8.0L displacement W 16 turbocharged engine, which was spacious and bloated.

In fact, the car culture about car nicknames is not limited to the above, but also the right to recruit jade. Fans may wish to leave a message and tell us what nicknames you know about cars.

From now on, AM Auto Butler officially changed its name to Che Wei, and sincerely made interesting and informative automotive professional content. Thank you for your constant concern and support.
