欧洲是汽车工业的发源地。1886年，伟大的德国发明家卡尔弗里德里希迈克尔本茨就在那里发明了世界上第一辆汽油动力汽车。后来，他的想法被许多企业采纳，这些企业将业务转向生产内燃机汽车。例如，欧宝是从缝纫机起家的，ABT体育频道是从锻造手推车的金属零件起家的。因此，他们转向汽车生产，并与其他品牌一起占据领先地位。

什么是欧洲汽车品牌？

欧洲的汽车工业以德国、英国、意大利、法国、瑞典的品牌为代表，是世界市场的领导者。但除了他们，还有其他欧洲国家的汽车制造商。

第二次世界大战阻止了汽车工业的快速发展，当时所有工厂都被迫为军队生产设备。在战后时期，他们不得不从零开始"获得动力",这样欧洲汽车市场到20世纪60年代才能完全恢复。现在有一些拥有几十个品牌的明显的最爱。这些制造商包括宝马、大众集团、PSA、标致雪铁龙和沃尔沃。

德国

德国最大的欧洲汽车工业中心。德国车企如此成熟，都有海外子公司和品牌。例如，大众拥有兰博基尼（意大利)、宾利（英国)和布加迪（法国),而宝马拥有劳斯莱斯和迷你（英国)。除此之外，制造商在德国也很活跃，主要集中在几个主要品牌上。他们制造不同级别的汽车——从豪华车到大众车。

保时捷

保时捷是豪华车和超级跑车的市场领导者，也是全球最成功的汽车制造商之一。其丰富的传统可以追溯到1900年，当时工程师费迪南德保时捷介绍了电动汽车的驱动。与此同时，该公司成立的时间要晚得多——在1931年。其汽车最显著的特点是运动设计。它甚至可以在Cayenne高级版跨界车和Panamera fastback上看到。

保时捷生产的昂贵且享有盛誉的跑车在国际上需求量很大。年销售额每年都在增长：截至2008年，年销售额刚刚超过86%。发布运动车型，厂商不忘参加赛车。现在，他已经赢得了超过28000场胜利。

梅赛德斯-奔驰

被称为"第600辆奔驰"的传奇旗舰车型梅赛德斯-奔驰600向劳斯莱斯的高管座驾发起了挑战。1926年，奔驰剑桥国际考试委员会和戴姆勒-马达伦股份公司的合并使这一切成为可能。一百年来，该公司因其具有收藏价值的豪华轿车和其他同样享有盛誉的汽车而闻名。它的产品线被认为是德国汽车市场上最广泛的之一。它包括残酷的SUV，小型货车，时尚的交叉，豪华敞篷车，舒适的轿车，和其他车辆类型。

德国宝马汽车公司(巴伐利亚汽车厂)

宝马是汽车行业的先驱。他发明了数字马达，引入了ABS，并开发了许多其他技术。他的汽车已经成为可靠性和质量的象征。

首款搭载12缸发动机的德国跑车诞生于宝马品牌之下。这家公司也被称为巴伐利亚汽车股份公司，一个半世纪以来生产了许多汽车，在汽车工业的历史上留下了显著的印记。但有一次，她甚至没有生产车辆的许可证：她在1928年才获得相应的许可证。在那之前，飞机引擎是在她的工厂生产的。

奥迪

最先进的技术和精密的设计是奥迪汽车不可或缺的。这个品牌的历史始于1909年奥迪汽车制造公司的出现。第一辆汽车叫做奥迪-第一，于1910年问世。21年后，该制造商与三家汽车制造商合并，成立了汽车联盟股份公司。在这个工会中，他负责制造跑车和参加赛车比赛。

1964年，奥迪品牌成为大众汽车的一部分。车主更换后，该车型系列补充了采用创新技术解决方案的汽车。这种发展包括金属带变速器、铝制车身和专有的全轮驱动。

大众汽车

大众汽车以其部门而闻名，这些部门在全球许多国家都有开设。它拥有来自西班牙（西亚特)、捷克（斯柯达汽车)、英国（宾利)、法国（布加迪)、意大利（兰博基尼、杜卡迪)、德国（保时捷)、瑞典（斯堪尼亚)的品牌。主要的工业区位于沃尔夫斯堡市。第一辆大众汽车生产于1935年。该公司的迅速发展始于20世纪下半叶，当时它开始收购其他企业。同时，制造商开始积极创造新的模式，最著名的尚酷，帕萨特和高尔夫。

奥贝尔

欧宝的主要工业基地位于吕塞尔斯海姆。这家汽车公司是由五兄弟创建的，他们决定继续他们父亲的事业——拥有一家生产自行车和缝纫机的工厂。他们用一个共同的姓氏作为名字。1900年，在达拉克许可下，开始生产冰车。然后品牌开发了它的模型。从1929年到20世纪40年代，欧宝归通用汽车公司所有。二战后，工厂遭到毁灭性打击：所有设备都出口到俄罗斯。但这并没有阻止该公司收复失地，成为国际市场的第一名。

联合王国

在英国汽车行业，领先品牌以其久负盛名的豪华乘用车而闻名：劳斯莱斯、宾利、捷豹。同时，与它们相匹配的还有路虎、迈凯轮、阿斯顿马丁等豪华跑车制造商。大众市场也发展良好。当地公司向消费者提供相当多的廉价汽车。此外，这些工厂生产大量的商用车辆。至于汽车市场，进口仍然超过出口。

英国罗尔斯-罗伊斯公司生产的豪华汽车

劳斯莱斯品牌属于德国企业宝马。这家英国公司的主要业务是生产豪华汽车，这一业务已经做了一百多年了。在其存在之初，该公司因参加集会而闻名，并设法在那里举行集会。后来，她成为英国皇家法院的车辆供应商。但是巨大的成功伴随着失败：该公司于1971年破产。多亏了国家资助和宝马的介入，才有可能挽救它。

本特利

宾利汽车是大众集团众多品牌之一。她以豪华车闻名，这让她成为世界上最昂贵、最精英的汽车制造商。该公司成立于1919年，三年后开始在著名的比赛中赢得冠军。20世纪30年代，她成为劳斯莱斯公司的一员。制造商的产品线包括高级轿车、全尺寸敞篷车、跨界车和越野车.宾利计划很快开始制造豪华跑车和电动汽车。

阿斯顿马丁

阿斯顿马丁的著名汽车在不同的细分市场都有代表。这些以运动和赛车车型为主，包括超级强大的顶级超级跑车。现在这个品牌属于一个投资财团，在此之前，它是福特汽车公司的一部分。阿斯顿马丁这个名字是向一位名叫马丁的赛车手致敬，他在阿斯顿克林顿赛道上超越了所有竞争对手。

兰德路华

路虎以制造世界上最豪华的运动型多功能车而闻名。与此同时，她正在寻找不同寻常的技术方案来制造全地形车。她的第一辆车建于1948年，车身由一种廉价合金制成，因为当时英国钢材短缺。它们的可靠性和时尚的设计使现代车型与众不同。路虎揽胜甚至作为高端艺术的典范在巴黎卢浮宫展出。目前，这个英国品牌属于印度企业集团塔塔。

美洲虎

捷豹的成功故事始于1925年摩托车边车的生产。现有的发展使她在1931年开始制造豪华汽车。直到1945年，该公司被称为燕子边车（缩写-SS).它在战后获得了现在的名字，这样就不会与德国党卫军有任何联系。暂时买下企业的福特公司，试图把它变成一个调整机构。但是高管们放弃了这个想法，所以在1996年捷豹有了自己设计的新赛车。这个品牌现在是塔塔汽车公司的财产。

微型汽车

现代公司微型汽车由德国宝马公司所有，延续了2000年以前的微型汽车品牌传统。在遥远的过去，它有一个不同的名字——库珀汽车公司。第一批汽车（赛车模型)的销售始于1959年。对它们的进一步改进已经永远进入了赛车运动的历史。作为宝马的一部分，这家汽车制造商并不局限于紧凑型汽车。他也有经典的跨界车，甚至豪华轿车。

意大利

意大利不仅被认为是欧洲的领导者之一，也是世界汽车工业的领导者之一。此外，汽车销售在该国经济中占据主导地位：其对国内生产总值的贡献达到8.5%。意大利的汽车工业始于19世纪末。在20世纪10年代，它由数十家公司代表，其中一些公司仍在运营。在战后时期，当地制造商一直依赖精英主义。他们现在正在扩大产品种类，坚持三个原则：奢华、速度和高成本。

法拉利

自1946年以来，法拉利跑车就是让豪华车迷们欣喜不已的工程范例。该公司的车辆在名人车库里站稳了脚跟。酋长和皇帝骑着它们，赛道的创造者皮埃尔巴丁农，美国橄榄球运动员莱昂内尔梅西和德国赛车手迈克尔舒马赫。

由于菲亚特拥有1989年法拉利，该品牌的跑车不仅是系列生产，也是单一副本。在后一种情况下，它们的价格达到几百万美元。

兰博基尼

兰博基尼历史上最重要的决定是阵容的改变。该公司最初是一家传统的拖拉机制造商，现已逐渐转向高速超级跑车。它的第一辆跑车于1963年首次亮相。品牌所有者创造它是为了与法拉利竞争，证明它的优越性。

玛莎拉蒂

玛莎拉蒂是一家意大利跑车制造商，其前身是玛莎拉蒂官方网站.这是玛莎拉蒂兄弟的小型汽车修理厂的名字。他们在1914年成立了一家私人公司，制造赛车并参加比赛。到了20世纪30年代，这一系列如今包括了日常出行所需的名车。一旦到了菲亚特手里，玛莎拉蒂几乎失去了自己的身份。高管们想将其与法拉利合并，但后来改变了主意，决定将其作为一个独立的品牌。

阿尔法罗密欧

阿尔法罗密欧的前身是一家在达拉克许可下生产汽车的公司。但是企业主们希望摆脱简单的复制，创造独特的东西，体现新技术。所以在1910年，第一辆阿尔法罗密欧汽车出现了，以美国律师协会。品牌而闻名。注意到该公司的成功和前景，菲亚特公司于1986年将其收购。

命令

菲亚特是意大利最大、历史最悠久的汽车公司之一。它是由投资者于1899年合作创建的合资企业。起初，该工厂生产各种设备，从货车到拖拉机。但随着时间的推移，菲亚特的主要目标已经变成了生产SUV、城市轿车和中级车。

阿巴特

由卡洛阿巴特于1949年在意大利都灵创立的阿巴特品牌在意大利汽车制造商中独树一帜。其生产的主要类型是基于菲亚特和独特的运动调校打造的跑车。今天，该公司是菲亚特汽车集团的一部分。该品牌凭借其原创和前卫的视觉形象脱颖而出。其标志以复杂形状的四面盾形纹章的形式呈现，带有公司的主要标志——一个抽象的黑色纹章蝎子，镶在薄白边中，提供有效的视觉对比。盾牌的主视场被对角分割，并填充黄色和红色。顶部的山脊用黑色填充，并由意大利国旗颜色的细线与主场地隔开。梳子空间是黑色的。它以白色无衬线字体填充公司名称的文本。

蓝旗亚

第一辆汽车是由意大利制造商蓝旗亚汽车有限公司生产的，该公司于1907年由文森佐蓝旗亚在都灵创立。在第一次世界大战期间，该品牌生产军用和装甲车辆，在20年代重返民用汽车行业，并于1921年发布了世界上第一辆单体车身汽车。在2015年决定停止推广该品牌后，自2017年以来，生产一直只生产蓝旗亚Ypsilon车型。相对于其身份而言，该品牌保持了多年不变的标志，即深蓝色带弧形边的三角形纹章。在其中心有一个银色的圆圈，整个盾牌的边缘，周围放置品牌名称，是在压缩白色小写字母。但中心圆有两个楔形元素，分别位于顶部和底部，这在视觉上造成了方向盘的感觉。

帕加尼

意大利汽车品牌帕加尼以生产豪华跑车和使用碳纤维车身的汽车而闻名于世奥拉西奥帕加尼于1992年在摩德纳创立，以其超轻、快速的新一代车型而闻名。该品牌借助一个进步的、有点咄咄逼人的标志表达了这些特征及其企业精神。会徽线条的锐利和残忍确保了它的个性和易于记忆。椭圆形的银色徽章带有一个凸起的三维品牌名称。在它的上方，左上角，汽车挡风玻璃形状的一个部分是一个有吸引力的蓝色渐变颜色，软化了金属化标志的整体寒冷。一个大字母P由它右边的凸线构成。围绕铭文的上部和下部具有点状元件，类似于船体元件的铆接紧固。

法国

法国汽车以其卓越的技术、精致的设计和高质量而闻名于世。数十家企业生产这种汽车，但两家公司是垄断者：集团PSA(前标致雪铁龙)和雷诺。它们约占整个汽车工业的90%,几乎占出口的100%。除了属于大众法国公司的布加迪之外，其余制造商主要在法国国内市场销售。

布加迪

布加迪豪华超跑品牌历史悠久，始于1909年。据目前所知，该品牌由工程师兼艺术家埃托雷阿尔科伊西多罗布加迪打造。受欢迎程度在20世纪20年代达到顶峰，当时全世界看到了新的35加仑型。这款车型成为比赛获胜次数的记录保持者，超过1500次获得冠军。战后，这家企业年久失修。上世纪80年代出现的超高速机器EB110挽救了局面。在20世纪末，该公司被德国大众公司收购。

雷诺

雷诺的国有化并没有被忽视。1945年转为国有后，这家公司获得了现在的名字，并改变了活动路线，发布了世界上第一辆掀背车。然后，该公司收购了一个卡车部门（雷诺vhicules industries)，但它被卖给了瑞典公司沃尔沃汽车公司.到20世纪末，财政困难开始出现。为了拯救雷诺免于破产，它与日产合并了。

主要经营汽车)

标致是法国车市中大众市场的突出代表。此外，该公司的产品范围不仅限于中等价位的汽车。范围包括小型商用车、跨界车、赛车等。1941年，人们试图制造一种电动汽车来节省汽油，但是政府禁止了。然后，该公司通过发布标致106和展示三款概念车实现了自己的雄心。20世纪70年代，一个重大事件发生了：汽车制造商与雪铁龙合并，成为标致雪铁龙的一部分。

雪铁龙

雪铁龙，有代表

sented the Groupe PSA concern since 1976, was founded in 1919. It has never changed its traditions; therefore, from the very beginning, it produced inexpensive and high-quality mass-consumption cars: crossovers, sedans, hatchbacks, and other models. This manufacturer also became famous for its unusual approach to advertising because, for almost ten years, it used the main attraction of Paris – Tour Eiffel as a billboard.

Aixam

The French auto brand Aixam is little known outside the country. But those who are familiar with the company’s products appreciate its offerings – miniature cars, classified in some countries as ATVs. The company was founded in 1983 in Aix-les-Bains, Savoie. Its cars are distributed in almost all European countries, where the brand emblem – an enlarged bold letter A in a circle, is quite famous. The color scheme of the logo contains the colors of the French flag – blue-white-red. The last is a thin edging of the round element of the emblem. White, in practical use, is replaced by metallic silver, which makes the logo attractive and memorable.

Ligier

The French automaker, Ligier, is considered one of the pearls of the domestic auto industry, which is also not very well known worldwide. The brand was founded in 1968 by driver and rugby player Guy Ligier in Abrest, Allier, Auvergne, France. The brand’s fame was brought about by its first sports model – Ligier JS2. The JS prefix was a tribute to the founder’s best friend, Jo Schlesser. In 2008, the company was transformed into the Ligier Group, known for its quality race cars and microcars (Microcars). The company logo is presented in the form of an image of two crossed flags – the country and the starting checkered racing flag. Below them is the brand name in a large sans-serif typeface with a slight right slant, symbolizing speed and acceleration. The letters are made in the corporate dark blue color.

Venturi

The Venturi brand is very well known to Europeans for its high quality and luxury products based on Porsche and Ferrari. Founded by Claude Poirot and Gerard Godefroy in 1984 in Fontvieille, Monaco, it today produces one of the most expensive and aesthetic types of electric cars, having suffered bankruptcy in 2000 after the production failure of luxury racing cars. The brand has released a limited edition Venturi Fétish. The company’s cars are distinguished by a cute sparkling design with high technical performance. Like the design of the company’s products, its logo is distinguished by its brightness and sophistication. The main corporate color is bright red, which fills the entire space of the oval logo with a silver border. The central element of the emblem is a figure in the form of a triangular blue shield with a light gray frame and a gray bird in the center with spread wings, reminiscent of the image of a heraldic phoenix bird with a head in the form of the sun. Above it, repeating the oval curve, there is an inscription of the brand name in gray in a specially designed elegant font.

Microcar

The Microcar brand was formed as a division of Beneteau in the early 80s of the last century. But already in 2000, it became part of Ligier as a division while maintaining its production profile in full. Microcar has a bright and smooth-shiny performance in the form of an elongated oval. The red color, shape, and design resemble lollipops, effectively echoing the shape of small but colorful cars in our production. The oval is horizontal. Its inner space is occupied by a gray-silver inscription of the name, executed in a capital font of a modern design without serifs, with sharp, rounded corners. Two silvery orbits frame it.

Sweden

Automotive manufacturing in Sweden began in 1927 when Volvo produced the first passenger car. This “delay” could be because there was no branched road junction due to the difficult terrain. This also explains why 80% of manufactured vehicles are sold abroad and not in Sweden itself. Despite the current situation, there are enough local producers who are in no way inferior to competitors on the international market. The most famous of them are Scania, Saab Automobile, and Volvo.

Koenigsegg

The Swedish car industry is not limited to the mass market. This country has developed the production of luxury cars, and one of the representatives of this segment is Koenigsegg, a private company that produces luxury models. She specializes in powerful and fast supercars and plans to break the world speed record for production cars. The headquarters of the company is located in the suburb of Ängelholm.

Volvo

Volvo is a luxury car manufacturer from Sweden. The first model of this brand rolled off the assembly line in 1927. Then, one after another, revolutionary innovations followed. Moreover, the company became famous for its cars and technological developments that provide increased safety while driving. They have become the basis for modern international standards. Volvo changed owners several times: after briefly staying with Ford Motor Company, it became part of Geely Automobile Holdings Limited.

Saab

SAAB has a tragic history: having worked in the automotive market for 75 years, it went bankrupt and was closed in 2012. Its commercial success began in 1959 with the release of the famous Saab 95 station wagon. Then it became a pioneer in the field of safety, developing several technical innovations. In 2000, the enterprise was completely taken over by General Motors. Several unsuccessful decisions of the new owner started financial problems for SAAB. In 2012, the brand was acquired by National Electric Vehicle Sweden and immediately discontinued.

Scania

Scania buses and trucks are renowned worldwide because this manufacturer pays attention to quality and modern technology. The company has been working for a long time in cooperation with the Spanish company Irizar. Together they created a model of the Century 3000 bus, where the body was from Irizar and the chassis from Scania. Also, the company produces engines that consume biogas, rapeseed biodiesel, and ethanol.

NEVS

The Swedish car manufacturer NEVS is the heir to the world-famous Saab, declaring itself immediately after the venerable brand was closed. He retained some of the features of his predecessor but chose a different direction – the development and production of electric cars. The company also reflected its progressiveness in its own visual identity. Its logo represents the text name of the company, executed in a specially designed lowercase futuristic font from capital letters. The minimalist style, the rounded corners of the letters, and the softness of the end of the stripes made it especially attractive and memorable. An important role in creating the required visual perception was played by letter spacing, which ensured the creation of a large amount of air, imparting lightness and freshness to the composition.

Polestar

Electric vehicles from Polestar are known all over the world today. As a product partner of the world famous brand, Volvo Cars Flash in 1996. In 2015, the brand became part of Volvo, which is today part of Geely’s Chinese concern. The company’s name comes from the sports racing team STCC Polestar, which founded Polestar Performance AB, which was acquired in 2015 by Volvo Cars. Production of high-end electric vehicles began in 2017 with introduction of a concise yet sophisticated logo. The composition is made up of two triangular checkmarks. Their diagonal placement towards the center of the image forms a four-cornered silver star in a gradient rendering. The shape creates the accepted symbolic image of the North Star. The futurism of the execution brings something cosmic and extraterrestrial into the spirit of the image.

Lynk & Co

Cooperation between the Swedish and Chinese car industry culminated in the creation in 2016 of a joint venture in Gothenburg – Lynk & Co. Its founders were Geely and Volvo Cars. During the current time, the brand announced the creation and demonstrated the concepts of three models – the 01 crossovers, the 03 sedans, and the model on the Volvo XC40 platform. The company’s emblem was developed as the logo of a trendy modern brand. It is a text inscription – the name of the company in monochrome. The font is made in a modern geometric style without stripes on some letters. The letter “O” is especially distinguished by its execution, with a missing segment on the left side. This graphical move creates the attractiveness of its combination with the neighboring letter “C,” providing visualization individuality and ease of remembering.

Uniti

The Swedish car industry has rejuvenated a lot. It is characterized by the emergence of many young companies that create successful competition for venerable world leaders. Among such companies is the 2016 Uniti auto brand. His mini-class electric digital city cars are distinguished by their modern, highly aesthetic design and the original 2+1 landing pattern. To immediately break into the market and attract attention, the brand paid special attention to its visualization. The depth of study and style distinguishes its emblem. Made in strict black color, the logo is a textual name of the company, which uses a non-standard sans-serif font, made in the style of electronic fonts. Along the entire length of the inscription, a thin white strip cuts the letters, which draws special attention to the inscription. This execution brings to the perception of the typeface the feeling of its appearance from the distant future, which echoes the company’s main goal – to acquaint customers with its projects that represent the future today.

Spain

The Spanish auto industry is less widely popularized than the same direction in other European countries. This leads to the erroneous belief that this type of production in the country was founded by the Italians when in 1919, the FIAT concern created its branch near Barcelona. However, the first Spanish car saw the light back in 1904, with the advent of the Hispano-Suiza company, whose luxury models have long been successful competitors to the advertised British Rolls-Royce in the same category. Even though the development of this type of industry in the country depended on the political situation, and the domestic market could not effectively compete with foreign manufacturers, which led to the massive deployment of products from leading world brands, the history of Spain’s automotive industry deserves special attention. In addition to the previously existing, world-famous, but already closed companies, the country’s auto industry is represented today by a dozen recognizable brands – domestic formations and divisions of the world’s leading concerns.

SEAT

Founded with the help of the Italian concern Fiat by the Spanish National Industrial Institute in 1950 with a factory in Martorell, SEAT introduced its first car in 1953. The brand focuses on racing models, which Spanish racers have used since 1972. In 1990, the company completely merged into Volkswagen. The brand logo has also been constantly evolving, which today is represented by a symbol familiar to the whole world – the letter S, the first letter of the company name. It is available in steel gray or metallic gray with serrated cutouts at the top and bottom. The top and bottom are separated, resembling two blades pointing in different directions. Under the sign is the text of the company’s full name, made in red. This logo’s execution symbolizes the company’s constant development, and its desire for overall balance and stability, reflecting practicality against the background of red, as an emotional element of the composition.

Irizar

In 1889, Irizar appeared on the Spanish car market, which later became a successful bus manufacturer. The first bus came out in 1926. Today, the company is famous for modern models with internal combustion engines, electric, hybrid and integrated. Over the years of the brand’s existence, its logo has changed while maintaining a commitment to its glorious history. Today, the emblem meets all the requirements of modern rules for its formation and is a sign consisting of a symbolic image of a wheel, inside of which there are stylized “ir,” made with a slight inclination to the right and a slight symmetrical bend. They form the appearance of the spokes and are made in gray with shadows that add volume to the image. The full name of the brand is also made in this style.

Tauro Sport Auto

In 2010, Valladolid entered an enterprise focused on producing modern luxury sports cars. The enterprise resulted from a joint project between Spanish entrepreneurs and a British automaker. Tauro racing models are produced in small batches due to the constant need to manufacture new machines for each model, with most of the operations carried out by hand. The most famous line of the brand is Tauro V8. Its round logo is made in red, black, and yellow colors and is impressive and easy to remember. The central element of the logo is the black silhouette of a strong-horned bull in a combat reversal at a bullfight. His figure is highlighted with a light yellow outline, which ensures clarity of visual perception. The bull is depicted on a rich red background in the center of a small circle. On the black field of the outer circle, the brand’s name is inscribed in yellow letters, separated by a floral ornament of stylized tulips.

Spania GTA

The full name of the Spanish manufacturer of sports racing cars – Spania GTA, founded in 1994 in Valencia – SPANIA GTA TECNOMOTIVE S.L. The founder of the company was the Spanish racing driver Domingo Ochoa, the creator of the GTA Motor Competicion team. The most famous model was the GTA Spano, a 2005 car whose concept car was unveiled in 2010. It combined the best of sporting technology with elegance and exclusivity in design. Brand recognition was ensured by the originally executed emblem, which became a reflection of the founder’s family coat of arms. The contours of the emblem follow the shape of the coat of arms with rounded lower corners. In its upper part, on a white field, there is a heraldic figure of a black wolf ready to jump, personifying courage and strength, devotion to the clan and its values, and the ability to stand up for its interests. The accent element of the figure is a red tongue protruding from the mouth. The field below it is divided into white – with the inscription of the first word of the brand name, made in black and red, where GTA is applied in white. Below are the white checkered starter flags of racing competitions, showing the brand’s activity area.

Tramontana

Spanish Atelier Tramontana was founded in 1995 by Josep Rubau in Barcelona, ​​Catalonia. She owns a registered trademark of the same name – Tramontana. The company aimed to revive the classic Spanish car industry of the last century in the field of sports models while at the same time putting an end to traditionalism. In 2005, the brand introduced its most famous car, the Tramontana Car. The new family of supercars is hand-crafted in small series. The brand logo is fully consistent with the brand’s spirit, reflecting its main goals and objectives. The black oval has a figure resembling the mathematical symbol of infinity while echoing the accepted stylized image of the race track. A departure from traditionalism in visualization, a symbolic demonstration of the desire for continuous development, and the main focus of production are reflected in this emblem.

Aspid

The brand and model of the Spanish sports car from the IFR consulting group – Aspid – was first introduced in 2008. His task included the desire of the manufacturer to demonstrate its capabilities and available technologies. The name was chosen in honor of the small and fast snake, which became especially famous after its use to kill the Egyptian queen Cleopatra. In this way, the manufacturer decided to express its main task – despite its low fame, to be able to defeat the world’s most famous leaders in the global automotive industry. The name became the basis for creating the brand’s original round emblem, the outlines of which are in gray and the interior in sandy yellow, which refers the viewer to the sands of the escariot habitat. Against this background, the head of a snake with an open mouth and a protruding tongue at the time of the attack is made with black strokes. Beneath it, in black modern lower case type with a slight right slant, is the name of the trademark.

Benimar

Having appeared in 1974, the Spanish automaker Benimar demonstrated its debut project four years later. The company’s name was made up of two words – the first letters of the name of the city in which the brand was founded – Benicarló, Castellone and an indication of its coastal location – Mar. In 1984 the company changed its name to Ocarsa. In 2002, it became part of Trigano, becoming a subsidiary. Her motorhome immediately became a leader in this segment in 1978. This type of car, as well as the company’s caravans, is especially in demand today. The brand emblem is made in the form of a text sign – the name. A round sans-serif typeface was chosen, such as Blippo Std Black by Linotype, whose structure makes it easy to remember. The roundness of the letters echoes the smoothness and roundness of the shapes created by the car brand.

Hurtan

The Hurtan car brand was born due to the desire of its founder – Juan Hurtado González, to realize his dream – to create a modern sports car in retro style. The first car was born in the early 80s of the last century, which was very successful. On this wave, the founder created the company Hurtan Desarrollos SL. Her first model, the Albaycín T2, came out in 1992. Today, the brand is located in Granada, carrying out, among other things, the production of electric vehicles. The brand emblem consists of a combination of a letter character and the brand name. The sign is simultaneously the first letter of the name – H. From the upper part of the left leg of the letter and the lower part of the right leg, semi-arcs extend, which forms the visual unity of the composition. The emphasis on unity is also made with the help of connections between each letter of the name.

Cupra

Cupra is a trademark of SEAT Sport of Abrera Catalonia, which was created in 1985 as an additional sports division of the brand, today part of the Volkswagen Group. The company produces cars for the rally and sports racing. In 2018, the brand was renamed Cupra, gaining full independence and starting the production of hybrid cars. The name has become a combination of two words – Cup and Racing. Its logo was the company’s name, made in a font like Hyperspace Race Extended Heavy by Swell Type, stretched horizontally. The emblem is represented by a unique sign with a complex shape, effectively forming a new corporate identity of the updated brand in the spirit of the symbols of Marvel heroes or transformers.

Hispano-Suiza

Hispano-Suiza, a joint venture between Spanish entrepreneur Juan Castro and Swiss engineer Damián Mateu, was founded in 1904 in Barcelona, ​​Spain. Until 1914, the brand stood out, especially for its luxury cars, which continued after the war. In 1944, the company became part of ENASA, refocusing on the aerospace direction. An attempt to return to automotive production was made in 2010 and 2019. The brand has established itself with the high quality and stylish design of its cars, ensuring recognition of its logo worldwide. The emblem reflected the brand’s aviation orientation. It had a stylized symbol of a rotating propeller with open gray bird wings extending from it and a round white element in the center. In the background was a red oval with a yellow stripe to the center – the color of the Spanish flag, the lower part of which contained a white Swiss cross in a gray outline.

Pegaso

Founded in 1946 in Barcelona, ​​the Spanish car brand Pegaso, which was the sports division of Enasa, ceased to exist in 1994, merging with Iveco.
