The Cool Car Name Thread

[LeMansLambo14]

This thread is simply going to focus on cool car names. By definition of "cool" I'm referring to names that have interesting meanings or an attractive sound when pronounced in it's original language. An example would be that of the name of the Aston Martin's hypercar, the Valkyrie. Not only does the name sound cool but it refers to the name Valkyja, an old Norse word that means "chooser of the slain." Others would be like that of Lamborghini, which often uses names relating to bulls and matadors. This thread is going to be a list of names with reasons of why you think it is "cool," so please put the model name of your car with a number.

You can also talk about names you think would be cool for a car, just leave the name unnumbered.

Example:

#1: Valkyrie

Since "cool" is subjective I think you should write a paragraph about why you think the name is cool, otherwise it will just be a list of car names.

Considering the thread on Cool Names on Unexpected Cars didn't really work out (no one could think of any more examples), this thread is simply going to focus on cool car names.

If you’re only starting threads about questions or posting questions in threads simply because they “didn’t work out” in popularity or responses, then I think that you’re just posting for the sake of ubiquity, and you’re not really giving that much thought into your content creation. Not trying to tell you what to post or what not to, but many members here go through a lot of reflection and thought processes before posting in the forums in order to render some value to it.

Apologies, I'll refrain from making threads like this. You do have a point, I'm afraid it's a habit of mine although I would like to state that I don't like to write multiple paragraphs of information often because I believe it comes across easily as a rant. And to an extant, I guess I'm just interested of other peoples opinions on subjects that don't get talked about in other car threads.

I've edited my post to include more content

Sorry for the late reply, I've added the short meanings of these names for those who are curious.

#2: Pantera

De Tomaso is known for using cool names for their cars, and the Pantera translates to "panther," an undoubtedly cool name for a car that embodies the powerful spirit of this creature.

Spoiler: Pantera

#3: Mangusta

Mangusta translates as "mongoose," and this was obviously chosen as a pitch against the Cobra, as this is considered the only animal able to kill this particular snake. De Tomaso reportedly went with this name because of a failed business deal with Carroll Shelby.

Spoiler: Mangusta
