Probably every motorist, being in an endless traffic jam and looking at car emblems, at least once thought about how many names of cars, brands and their icons exist. How were they created, or what contributed to this? What are they? After all, each brand has its own impressive story that you must learn.
The modern car market does not stand still. Up to ten new brands are released every year, so no one can tell the exact number. In addition, there are special brands of cars that are produced only for the domestic market of the country. The approximate number of all brands is more than 2000 units.
In this article, we will not talk about each individual brand of car, because there are too many of them. We will divide them into 8 different categories, discuss several separate models and consider the photo of cars, the name of brands and icons.
Sports cars
It should be noted right away that the cars from Formula 1 do not belong to sports cars. Sports cars are designed for city driving. The brands of cars and their names, which we will discuss in this article, have their own interesting history.
All of them are distinguished by powerful motors, beautiful and austere design, as well as high cost. Often, such cars are purchased not for the sake of a quick ride, but in order to emphasize their status.
There are a lot of names of cars, so we will give a list of the most famous:
- Ford
- Jaguar;
- Nissan
- Chevrolet
- Mazda
- Alfa Romeo;
- BMW
- Audi.
In addition to these brands, the most popular car brand is Ferrari. These cars are made only in Italy and are valuable for their reliability, powerful motors and build quality.
By the name of the machine it is already possible to determine its high cost, but this does not mean that it is unjustified. Some models even participate in Formula 1 races, and this already speaks of high rates.
Expensive car brands
What are expensive cars? How do they differ from others, and what is their advantage? In fact, expensive cars are practically no different from others - it's all about the brand. It is the name of the machine and history that makes it expensive.
For 2017, the most expensive cars are:
- Bentley;
- Bugatti;
- Rolls-Royce;
- Hennessey;
- Pagani;
- Koenigsegg.
Today the most expensive car is the Zonda Revolution. Its cost is about 4.5 million dollars. Not everyone can afford it, so it is available in limited quantities.
Comfort and practicality can also affect the cost of a machine. For example, a Porsche car is considered one of the most comfortable. The interior is made so that the driver receives maximum pleasure when traveling.
Racing cars: photo and name
Often, cars that are designed for racing cannot be bought at car dealerships. These are not mass-produced machines, therefore, they are designed by a separate group of people - professionals who adjust it to the end user.
The famous auto drifter Ken Block and his team assembled a unique Ford Mustang Hooligan car, which he rode through the streets of Los Angeles. It took them 4 months to assemble this car.
As a rule, sports cars participate either in Formula 1 or in the Grand Prix. Here is a list of some of them:
- Bugatti (Veyron);
- Agora R;
- Lamborghini;
- Ferrari
They differ from sports cars in the following parameters: a powerful and hardy engine, two-seater placement, increased speed, low landing and a higher cost.
The Italian brand Ferrari is very popular in Formula 1 racing. And this is not surprising, since the car has almost the highest racing performance. By the way, the brand was formed through the union of racing teams.
American car brands: badges and names
Cars manufactured in the USA are known all over the world. Their design amazes many owners. Almost every model is made of high-strength alloy of iron and has high reliability.
Let's look at a few photos of cars and brand names:
- Ford - this emblem did not differ in exquisite engravings or various colors, but nevertheless it is very famous throughout the world.
- Buick - the logo of this company is constantly changing. At the moment, it depicts 3 emblems in a black circle that remind of the three most beloved creations of the brand.
- Chevrolet - perhaps this is the simplest icon, made in the form of a yellow cross in a silver frame. It looks more like a bow tie.
Russian auto industry
Russian cars have always been affordable and low cost. The build quality of such cars is not considered the highest, but still practicality and comfort are present in them. Although these cars cannot boast of big sales, they have their own amazing stories that have contributed to the development of the automotive industry. Let's look at some of them:
- AvtoVAZ (Lada) is the leader of the Russian automobile industry. Almost every model has its own peculiarity: “Lada” -2106 - an excellent chassis and softer suspension, and “Lada” -2107 - a wonderful steering, increased cross-country ability and low cost.
- Marussia - the name of the car is translated into Russian as “Maroussia” - one of the popular Russian names. Manufacturers made a big bias on sports models, trying to improve them, making them more powerful and more enduring. In 2007, the first samples were released, which pleased their magnificent design with not only company members, but also future owners.
- Volga - this brand was formed by the merger of two companies - GAZ and Ford. The demand for these cars was so great that German and French motorists specially came from abroad to get one of these cars. Since in 2007 production stopped abruptly, many collectors today are ready to purchase these cars for a lot of money.
Rare cars
How can you identify a rare car? In most cases - on its sales. But it is also worth noting that if the car is not in great demand in the market, this does not mean that it is bad or not so reliable. Perhaps not everyone can afford it, because the prices of such brands are very high, and most people can only dream of them.
Below is a list of rarely bought cars:

SUVs
Powerful cars are not only those that can quickly gain maximum speed and keep it for a long time. Trucks that can overcome almost any obstacles and bumps also belong to powerful ones.
Here is a list of the most famous SUVs:
- Infinity - The automotive corporation loves to show off its zest - the QX56. This model is constantly undergoing changes not only in appearance, but also in power characteristics.
- Nissan is a Japanese brand that is always able to surprise its fans with the powerful X-Trail. This unit can cross water obstacles with a depth of more than half a meter.

French-made cars present elegant models with neat body lines to the world. Many cars are exported to different countries, because there are quite a lot of lovers of French brands, not only at home. Below is a list of the most famous brands:
Many models of the above brands can be found in different parts of the world. Demand for French cars is constantly growing, so manufacturers are trying to improve their cars every time.
Conclusion
