One has absolutely nothing to do with the other. Just a coincidence:
The prancing horse featured on the Ferrari logo was the emblem of Italian WWI flying ace Fancesco Baracca, whose parents persuaded Enzo Ferrari to use the symbol of their late son for his Alfa Romeo race cars. When Ferrari later started his own car company, he continued use of this logo. Note that the logo shown here is technically the logo of the racing team, Scuderia Ferrari, though you will see it appear on the front fenders of many modern road-going Ferraris. The official company logo is the rectangular version encompasing the same prancing horse.
The Porsche badge is the coat of arms of the city of Stuttgart (where the cars are built). The city was built on the site of a stud farm, which explains the horse in the coat of arms; the antlers and red and black stripes are part of the arms of the Kingdom of Wurttemberg.
the 2 owners of the original companies were pen pals and made a pact that if they bought or started a company the emblem or name would be dedicated too the pit pony rescue fund set up by the women’s guild of lancaster
While Katrina L’s answer is accurate it is missing one (unconfirmed) detail.
It is suspected that Italian WWI flying ace Francesco Baracca took the prancing horse symbol from a German plane that he shot down during the war, and that the German pilot used that symbol because he was from Stuttgart. Therefore, it is possible (but not confirmed) that the Ferrari horse is actually derived from the same Stuttgart coat of arms as the Porsche symbol.
They do not! I do not see any similarity!
Not really that alike
- Ferrari
- Porsche
I see what you mean though
