In this video we're talking about the hidden meaning and the amazing stories behind the logos of famous car maker brands. We're covering a total of 26 logos in alphabetical order. As this is a long video I split the logos into chapters so you can either pick the ones you're interested or easily pick up from where you left off if you don't have the time to watch the video in one go:
00:00 Alfa Romeo
02:53 Alpina
03:39 Audi
04:29 BMW
05:06 Buick
05:49 Cadillac
06:16 Citroen
07:22 De Tomaso
08:07 Ferrari
09:35 Hyundai
10:03 Koenigsegg
10:43 Maserati
11:06 Mazda
13:14 Mercedes
14:26 Mitsubishi
15:15 Nissan
16:31 Peugeot
17:13 Porsche
18:01 Rolls-Royce
19:57 Rover
20:49 Skoda
21:22 Subaru
22:28 Tesla
22:52 Toyota
23:38 Vauxhall + Opel
24:35 Volvo
I'm sure you know the stories behind some of these famous car maker logos but I bet you don't know them all and if you watch the video you'll learn why Alfa Romeo has an arab eating snake on it, why BMW's logo isn't a propeller despite their aircraft making past, what Ferrar has to do with Francesco Baracca, Italy's greatest fighter pilot. You'll also learn about Ahura Mazda, Mercedes Jellinek, NIhon SANgyo, Peugeot saws and coffee grinders and about all Dr Engineer honoris cause Ferdinand Porsche. You'll learn about the secret love affair behind Rolls-Royce's Spirit of Ecstacy and the Native American hidden in the Skoda logo. And did you know that Tesla's logo is a cat nose? That Toyota's logo hides a few genious details? That Volvo's logo is rolling iron and that Vauxhall come's from Falkes' hall?

13:14 ahura mazda. the symbol, is of an alien, in a space ship. our creators were the bearded ''ananuki.'' , alien,''gods'', world wide.. just thought id emlighten you to that.. viper tv, sumerian tablets.. we were cloned, originally..
Vovlvo's symbol is also the ancient planetary symbol of Mars
Fantastic video! Your effortless pronunciation of names and words in 10 languages is just as impressive as the superb content!
Where is the FIAT company?
@@harrywalker5836 p⁰
Owned an Alfa for many years. One day while washing it I realised the serpent wasn't blowing flames as I thought but was eating a man. Looking back on service costs and unexpected failures I think that was a fitting motif.
I really hoped you would chime in on the Alfa. I wasn't disappointed 🤣
😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣 VW and a lot of other European car companies should adopt the same symbol.
sooo are you implying that arab garage workers might sabotage Alfa's
@@g60force hahaha! However I would argue that Alfas are completely capable of sabotaging themselves!
I once knew a bloke who had three Alfa's.... he was so poor as a result, his wife run off with a bloke selling the "Big Issue". 🤣
Fun Fact: Both the whisper and the spirit of ecstasy were actually modelled after Eleanor Velasco Thornton. This is why people thought the whisper was linked to their affair. Side note: My Great Great Grandmother was on the SS Persia when it was torpedoed and sunk, Eleanor was on the ship at the same time and that’s where she died.
Comments like this are pure gold. Absolutely wonderful.
Here’s something really spooky. The advert at the end of this video was for the RNLI! It depicts a man in the sea, and advises to relax, lay on your back, then call for help. Your story is better, but the coincidence is interesting. Peace
Fantastic - I think this is the first time "fun fact" has been used, and the fact hasn't disappointed.
what a beautiful women af course you will have affairs with your secetry when they are that beautiful to look at half of time you are staring at their face
He didn't go into the fun fact of the colour of the two letters through the years
The Alfa logo is the best in the business! The snake eating the dude is priceless!
* comes with a price
@@onemanarmyoma0155 at least new alfas are expensive like the giulia gta or something 😂
According to a number of sources, in Japanese '2' is roughly pronounced "ni" and '3' is similarly pronounced as "san" - so the traditional racing number of '23' for the Nissan team is a Japanese play on words.
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time. Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them)… Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).

One of the Iranian car makers Saipa has a triple point logo that shows life, death and after life. It means it can connect the humans to afterlife because it's so unreliable and unsafe.

Lmao.
Haha, maybe they should visit a Japanese manufacturing plant for some inspiration to do operations properly.

1. AUDI is Latin for "listen", in German: "Horch". 2. The Ferrari Horse is the Stuttgart Horse also found on the Porsches ("Stuttgart" = Stutengarten/Horse Garden). 3. BMW (Bayerische Motorenwerke/Bavarian Motorcompany) once incorporated "Bayerische Flugzeugwerke" (Bavarian Airplane Company). That's why the Messerschmitt 109 is called "BF109" and the company logo IS a propeller.
On Mazda; Japanese people actually pronounce ‘Mazda’ as ‘Matsuda’. It’s basically a linguistic thing; it doesn’t follow the standard syllable construction most Japanese words have. Look at some probably familiar words as an example; ka-ta-na, su-do-ku, sa-shi-mi. You get my drift. Mazda is a bit of an ugly duckling phonetically; the first part, ‘maz’, is non existent, and a Japanese person will gravitate towards pronouncing that as ‘ma-zu’ or ‘ma-tsu’. Regardless of the explanation, or the meaning, or message the company would like to hang on their brand; Japanese people still pronounce the name as ‘Mazuda’ or ‘Matsuda’.
True: my grand uncle, that has been an Italian priest working as a director of a Christian school in Osaka for 45 years (and therefore spoke perfect Japanese), when he came back here in Italy once, told me that as a car he had a "mazuda" and it took me quite few minutes to understand he was referring to our "mazda" :)
I once bought a TV made by Matsui from Dixon (now Currys) in the UK.

MAZADA is the name of the god for a middle eastern religion that the founder of the car company followed
Australian HOLDEN (RIP) symbol shows a sitting lion with one paw resting on a round rock. Origins of this symbol is open to conjecture. One account is from a legend that man got the idea for the wheel watching young lions roll stones. (like how kittens play with a ball of string). Another interpretation is that it describes "King of the Road." Either way, the HOLDEN symbol is definitely one of the coolest.
I always thought it was a globe of the world
I miss UTE cars
Holden started off in the 1856 making saddles. They then progressed to coach building producing local car bodies for companies such Dodge and Lancia. Coach building was often done locally as valuable cargo space on ships to Australia was often restricted to chassis only. Holden eventually become the sole Australian body manufacturer for GM. In 1931 it became a wholly owned GM subsidiary known as General Motors Holden (GMH)
fun fact about ferrari's prancing stallion: a theory links it to the emblem of stuettgart. baracca adopted it from his fifth aerial kill (5 kills = ace), which was a german plane from that place. if confirmed, that would mean that porsche and ferrari share the very same prancing stallion in their own emblems
I noticed the black prancing stallion on yellow shield in the Porsche logo in this video and said "Hey, that's just like Ferrari's!"
There is the legend, that he shot down a german plane from that region of Stuttgart which was piloted by a noble sporting that coat of arms. He took the wounded pilot prisoner. This was a very different kind of war in the air in that time and he was called the chevalier of the air for a reason. The code of arms of his own family was a black horse too, which he took as a lucky sign and painted it onto his plane.
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time. Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them)… Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).

A fact to add to Audi: The sub factions of both Audi and Horch were named after August Horch, their founder. Horch is old german way of saying "listen", and Audi is latin (as in Audio), for the same thing.
Correct. Prof. Horch was forced to drop his own Name, as he left the Horch Company and founded his own firm. A boy, who was connected with the Horch family and just graduated, proposed to use the latin verb "audi!" for the literally german expression "horch!"
Tesla's Logo, when multiplied in a circular array, is very similar to the empire's insignia of starwarss. That raises a lot of questions ;)
Excellent video, and I learned a few things. But you missed one of the more subtle points of the Mercedes logo. These days, the three-pointed star is always depicted inside a circle, which represents the laurel-wreath logo of the Benz company. It's more clearly seen on the little enamel badge which the cars still carry on their bonnets and wheels, but the normal logo is a more stylised version.
Interestingly enough on the Subaru one, on most cars there is actually a hidden 7th star printed into the rear differential cover. not sure if this was done on purpose or just an odd coincidence.

Other than the fascinating (as always) content, I'm amazed at how correctly you pronounce the brand names in all those languages. Respect.
@@undefined_01 OK, we all know that only the French can get French right :) But Japanese especially impressed me (I've lived in Japan for 10 years), 'cause so many KZheadrs get it very wrong.
...my thoughts too 👍🏿
I remember once hearing that both the Porsche and Ferrari horse were the same Stuttgart horse. Something about Francesco Baracca shooting down a skilled pilot from Stuttgart and using the Stuttgart horse as a symbol of his victory. Or something along those lines.
Fun fact, Dacia takes its name from the historical region that constitutes present-day Romania and the badge was originally shield-like shaped with a landscape, a brown eagle and the original name written on a black banner on top
Yep, but not anymore, it's pretty much the Renault logo mirrored in the middle 😂.
But today people think it is a bottle opener.
In other news Dacia has launched a new Sandero
It took me 52 years to find such an educational and a humorous video about car brands. Great video 👍. Loved watching it.
I'm a Suzuki guy myself (hence Gixermouse), but Yamaha's tuning fork from their heritage of being a piano and musical instrument company would've been nice. Also, I'm writing this with a Yamaha Pacifica guitar on my lap so I might be a little bit biased 😕
You write things on your lap using a Yamaha guitar?
0:43 Kudos for mentioning the Dutch Naamloze vennootschap. 👍 I thoroughly enjoyed watching the video. 🙏
24:35 simply iconic, beautiful, the best 5 seconds of car commercial I've ever seen
I think the Lotus brand logo is interesting also: It carries the four letters "ACBC" which refer to the name of the founder Anthony Colin Bruce Chapman. And that is the easy part. Because, to my knowledge at least, the reason why Colin and his wife Hazel actually named the company Lotus remained their secret. Maybe their son Clive would be able to shed a light, however up to this day there is a lot of speculation around why Lotus name is Lotus. And no: It is not an acronym for "Lots of Trouble Usually Serious" :-) The reason for the car model being called is probably well known: The company owner of the early nineties, when he launched the Project M1-11 decided it would be a bad idea to call the car One-Eleven, because this name would be pronounced diferently in different contries. So he decided to call the name after his first grandchild Elisa - hence Lotus Elise. Elisa was born in the year when the M1-11 porject launched and she also played a key role in the publich presentattion of the Elise at the Frankfurt Motor Show IAA on September 12, 1995 (she was 2 1/2 years old then)
For LOTUS it is more tricky: 1/ ACBC at the first it was a "trick" from Chapman, to not make troubles with his 2 others financial partners: the Allen Brothers, so CCAB: Colin Chapman and Allen Brothers. then he admitted years after that it can be read by Anthony Colin Bruce Chapman B/ About name, all lotus names come with "E" as first letter, so have to figure out a name with "E" also the Bugatti owner Artoli named the 111: ELISE, not only for his grand daughter but also because he didn't want at all that the model will be called 111 (not for the language) but for the fact that Bugatti (French company and not Italian by the way) had the EB-110 which will be terrible to have a continuity in the reference ...
I read long ago that Lotus was Colin Chapman's pet name for his wife Hazel. Don't know if it's true.
wow, amazing knowledge, and must of spent many hours researching these visio-linguistic links, buddy. well done!
Alfa Romeo, Maserati and Ferrari have the nicest logos in the automotive industry. The Italians are stylish even when it comes to little things like this.
Koenigsegg is nicer in my opinion. And it's swedish.
That's where people get things wrong... Although those logos are goodlooking, they are a mess when looked from a distance or when it's dark. Simple logos like vw, opel audi and the like are also stylish (because they're simple) and they look great even if you are partially blind, colourblind or hundreds of meters from your beloved vehicle.

Fun fact: people from the Balkans are quite often more linguistically educated than most Europeans. That's because we are forced to migrate in great numbers for economic reasons and therefore we adopt and learn foreign languages more readily.

Audi, of course, replaced Horch, when Herr Horch was deposed from his own company. Both words mean "I hear" (in Latin and German). Another huge benefit of a herringbone gear wheel is the absence of end-thrust on the axle. The Spirit of Ecstacy is actually aerodynamic; it helps to keep bugs from hitting the wind-screen.
Not exactly. “Horch” in German is more of a command like “Listen Up!” “Ich horche” means “I am listening” closer in meaning to “listening in” as in spying. Also used in the word “gehorchen” meaning obeying, following orders.
and provides crucial downforce for better front end grip. sadly it also creates huge outwash which makes it almost impossible to follow closely without overheating and is very difficult to pass until the end of a long straight into a chicane. Someone should address this issue in the future to reduce this unfair advantage.

A precious and enjoyable, easy to remember - and associate to each brand - history, geography, marketing, creativity and automotive lesson at the same time! Thanks!

I enjoyed this video so much, I’ve saved it to watch over again. Sir, you are a very interesting video maker
For Peugeot, the lion is also the symbol of the city Belfort where Peugeot start their activities back them.
Yep and the lion claws represented the strength of their saw blades back then.
Fascinating stuff! I knew a bunch of those, but never really wondered about Hyundai or Skoda. Always good to learn something new!
Credit to you for researching all of that. I've worked for some of those companies and had no idea of the history!
Mahalo! Love your channel. Heraldry is intrinsic to almost all logos. It’s cool that the basic rules (color on metal, never color on color or metal on metal - sometimes violated but not often) are usually observed. This was to allow a heraldic device (hence person) to be recognized at a distance. My device proceeds this comment.
wow!!! this is simply great. maybe you're wrong about a few things. probably not. your ability (and study) of the pronunciation is amazing. the amount of time you studied to get all of this is admirable. thank you for doing this work. and, thank you for learning to speak those languages; it's really a testament to your caring about your study.

Best channel! I watch your videos everyday to learn something new about ic engines
Briljante docu!🇵🇾 There is a Volvo funfact to add at the end: they put a Ferrari-like yellow triangle with a moose instead of a horse on the side of the more "sporty" Volvo cars. Check it out. You have a wonderfully well-timed sublime style. And an extraordinary polite and praising comment section to prove that.
Slight correction: The 90's "mazda" emblem with the diamond was actually for it's planned, but cancelled by recession, luxury brand to compete with the likes of lexus and infiniti. You will only see it on a few cars, specifically the milennia, which was not supposed to be a mazda, but the new brand. I think the renualt thing was a later rationalization, I have seen no reliable sources for that theory.
iirc Amanti was the name it was to be.
@@jpsother1183 yes, they planned to power it by a W12 cylinder engine, but never made it to live.
Eunos ??
@@axelknutt5065 Eunos was for JDM, "fun to drive and upscale". Amanti was supposed to be the luxury brand, a Lexus / Acura / Infinity competitor. The developed cars were later sold under Mazda and Eunos, and were named Mazda Xedos 6 and 9 in EU and the Millenia (Xedos 9) in the US.
Well my mother's '96 (or '97?) Mazda 323 had it and, in 3d, it did look like Renault's logo. Renault did look after its trademarks: They had a "Virage" model in Australia (a 12 with a 1.4L motor) and trademarked "Mirage" because it sounded similar. Mitsubishi had to rename their Mirage on the Australian market to "Colt".
And once you get through the logos, it would be cool to see the history of car companies in terms of where they started and ended or changed hands/names to the modern day brands we know. You touched on some aspects of this (i.e. Fuji Heavy Industries, Subaru) in this and other videos.

Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).

Hard to believe how much work you've put into this video. It's truly a Brilliant video mate, the depth of research is wow! As a fellow KZheadr, i can appreciate. Turn this into shorts I'd suggest, should be bombastically successful. I'll keep enjoying your content and supporting mate. I fell would be cool to meet u someday, you seem such as interesting guy. Love you pronunciation of things, not always perfect but confident 👊🙏🤗♥️
Incredible video.Well done 👏👏
Very nice video. I didn’t know 80% of it. Since you discussed Alpina, I figured AMG would certainly be included. To bad, it’s logo is very interesting as well.
Very interesting, and well informed presentation. Well done, and thank you☝🏻🇿🇦
This was very interesting and informative. Excellent and absolutely awesome
Super vid!! 👏 Loved it 😁
I always enjoy your videos, more so than any other YT car channels.
The way you describe the “anonymous” status of certain companies is exactly what corporation status means in America or what “Limited” status means in Britain
I liked the way he described it as the company not being linked to one person, when the Romeo part later linked it to one person.
Congratulations for such interesting video. Bravo!
What a great list of anecdotes. I really enjoyed this.
You could make a part 2 for this series there still many car brands with very unique and interesting logos and stories behind
Part 2: Fiat, Lancia, Lotus, Saab/Scania, Renault, Bentley to name a few.
Nice video men, I love the way you talk, helped me understand a lot of mechanics
man i never comment or watch such long videos but i swear your videos are awesome keep a the good work very detailed definetely you deserve subscribe
I absolutely love that you had the audio for tires burning out as you rolled the BMW logo onscreen 😍😂
In Polish, the word for bicycle is "ROWER" and I bet it comes from calling any "safety" bicycle a Rover or Rower in Polish. Serwus!
The Rover Bicycles were so popular in Poland that the word became a synonym for bicycle itself. At least this is what I read about it.
Definitely enjoyed and did share it many times 🥳👍We demand more 😱🥳🥳
A fantastic video :-) I really enjoy learning about these little insights and the history.
4:31 In Czechia we call BMWs "Bavoráci" which could be literally translated as Bavarians, so I guess that Czech colloquial term actually makes some sense xd
I could listen to you all day, speaking different languages and getting the pronunciation just right. A very joyous talent
Great work! I really enjoyed this vid.
Brillant and informative vid, bro!
One interesting story you missed (if it is true) is that Hr Horsch sold his company and was not allowed to use the same name with any subsequent company after that. Horsch in his dialect meant 'to hear' so for his next company he chose AUDI from the Latin Audible (as we know that word today). So really we should pronounce AUDI or~di not ow~di.
Yes and No. Firstly, it is Horch, not HorSch. Horch ist the Imperative Singular of "horchen" (not "hören") ~"to listen/ to hear", which is not dialect although somewhat old-fashioned AND used in Southern-German dialects as synonymous for "hören". Audi, too, is the Imperative Singular of the verb to hear/to listen in Latin (audire), andI did find that spin of the story missing, too. PS: Yes, GoogleTranslator is slightly off on the Latin here.
Since when is the U in latin pronunced as R?. Native english speakers still come closest when saying "ow-dee" in my opinion. And the story circulating in german speaking areas is that Mr. Horch had not let go of is company voluntarily. And so when choosing a name for his new company his son who was still in school but currently learning for a latin exam was asked and his answer was the latin translation of the word Horch. So in essence we have Audi because Mr. Horchs son was able to get education.
you translated it into Dutch! you're a Hero! (you have many Dutch subscribers?)
In ieder geval 2 😉😂
In elk geval drie, dan. :)
@@poelmeister 😁
Nummer 4 hierzo
I only knew a very small amount of what you told us in this video. Thanks for the always interesting and entertaining content.
That was awesome. A question I've never really asked before, but I was stoked to listen
Welp, the romeo guys are still salty over Salahuddeen and his forefathers.
It was said that DKW, that brand that went up in Audi, stood for ‘Das Krankenhaus Wartet’ (The hospital awaits). This due to their flimsy construction and smelly engines. :)
🤣🤣 didn't know that
DKW motorcycles ,on the other hand , were championship winning machines ,especially the supercharged two strokes. After the war the RT 125 road bike was manufactured by Harley-Davidson in the US and BSA in the UK. The Harley-Davidson version was known loosely as the Hummer (Hummer is really just a few specific years, but generally people call the Harley lightweights Hummers), while BSA used them for the Bantam. IFA and later MZ models continued in production until the 1990s, when economics brought production of the two stroke to an end. Other manufacturers copied the DKW design, officially or otherwise. This can be seen in the similarity of many small two-stroke motorcycles from the 1950s, including from Yamaha, Voskhod, Maserati, and Polish WSK.
Dkw actually stands for Dampf Kraft Wagen which translates to steam powered vehicle.
@@AsurasWrath164 Das Klein Wunder. They never made steam powered vehicles. Started making small motorcycles and scooters in 1919 in Zschopau in Germany.
@@philhawley1219 dkw actually started in 1904 and produced equipment and spare parts for steam machines. 1916 They started development on a steam vehicle for the military which was cancelled in 1921. Still the Name dkw was used hereon after.
This is my Favorite Episode on this channel. Thanks for producing this movie.
Brother!!! That video is AWESOME!!!!! That’s a LOT of research right there! Thank you for that. Super fascinating. Love your channel 🤟🤟🤟
The real ones know why he didn't mention Volkswagen 😏
Lmao, didn't they become KdF (Strength through Joy) in a large cog during the war? Still my fav variation of their logo.
@@nobodynoone2500 actually not. The beetle was the attempt to motorize Germanys population. And kraft durch freude was a slogan used throughout nazi Germany and so it was also coupled to the marketing campaign for the car which became known as the Kdf-wagen or kdf- vehicle. But kdf never was used for the volkswagen company itself.
What about ‘the universal car” .. a triangle with wings that eventually transformed into a blue oval …
Grrrreat vid Man Well done 👏👏👏
This is one of the most fascinating videos yet and very informative, thank you! I would have loved to hear the end of video rap to this one though 🤣
Alfa logo is best looking by far
Turk ... Arab ... 🤷 I'm cool with either
Neither really. Prorbaly just crunching on backwards medieval euro clansmen still too ignorant to have discovered modern plumbing or personal higiene. Some people are so ungrateful for being brought into the modern times by their invading masters...sheesh. But whatever floats your boat dude...
