In the car history,
the horse figure doesn’t only represent Ferrari.
There is also the female horse,
the symbol of the city of Stuttgart,
in the middle of the Porsche shield together
with deer’s horns and black and red stripes,
the emblems of Baden Wurttemberg, the region where the German car producer is based.
Porsche history is connected with the Porsche family.
In 1948, Ferdinand Porsche, after having creating the Beetle Volkswagen,
designed with his son Ferry the first Porsche car,
spider 356 using the 4 cylinders engine and other Volkswagen parts.
From that moment on numerous 356 coupe models,
cabriolets and spiders were created.
Spiders started to take part in the most important car races.
