- Naming a car isn't as easy as it seems, which is why, sometimes, they are just named after real people.

Ok 👍👍👍
i would but im broke
enzo ,edsel and what is the Citroen? is it Picasso?
Range rover is a indian company not British
@@faaaatcaaat76 no lol, it's OWNED by an indian company, that does not make range rover itself Indian.
It's clear that Stype would share us names of people that I know and I don't know
Ferrari Enzo is too easy of a story to tell. Not as interesting as the rest
@@TopCarsTV and i'm reading this after *trying* to tell the Zonda F's story. I think that it would be cool to see this as a honorable mention, to see someone guessing it
Babe wake up, TopCarsTV just posted!
Honey, we had a talk about this just last week...put it on the list. Have fun, love ya😊😂
Oh thank you!
@@too_cool_catholy guacomoly are you here to kill me cuz I did not pracrice spanish?
Ferrari Enzo
Citroën C4 Picasso
Ford Edsel
Easiest so far
Also, there were other Citroëns with the name Picasso, my godfather had a Xsara Picasso for instance. great car ngl, I miss that giant red egg
Your godfather was a giant red egg?
@@plavsenovic my pfp gave it away didn't it

The F in Pagani Zonda F stands for Fangio.
And the JS in the model name of both racing and road going Ligiers stands for Jo Schlesser
Fangio was a motor sport racer right?
F*ck you already said it
@@Jizzler1 a 5 time F1 champion with 4 different teams
this is a joke but the f in zonda f means f**k
Elise. Best and cutest story. Grandfather’s love for his granddaughter.
It doesn’t count if you just have a model name that already exists and then put a person’s name after it like the Balboni or BC. Even BB don't count as nobody even knows it so how is that really a car named after someone when it's a 512 first?
Those are just models with a tribute instead of an actual model named after someone like the Elise or Senna.
Elise is a cute story but the BB is just incredible.
People had to believe that it's a Berlineta Boxer for 45 years when clearly it wasn't
@@TopCarsTV Which sort of proves the point... what's a car named after someone when nobody even knows it.
To me, when you name a car after someone, you name it after someone. You don't tag a name to an existing model or use initials that nobody even knows. Even the Balboni is better than just initials if you are going to do that.
Maybe I'm just more American that way. You want to do something, just go do it. Don't be beating around the bush with it. If you can't because your company won't let you? Too bad. Go start one and do a Jesko or Elise.
@@FlyingTigersKMT no, this kind of "just do it, don't be smart" is a Brazilian thing too. And i'm still trying to understand the MP4 - 12c thing
@@LotsOfToubleUsuallySerious Lol, glad there are other straight shooters out there in Brazil.
MP4-12C as far as I know is McLaren Project #4 and the 12 is a number index for performance parameters compared to competitors and the C is for Carbon which is the tub as well as all the places they use carbon fiber to lighten weight.
It would be funny though if someone in the McLaren household was named MP4-12C like how celebrities like to choose weird names for their kids.
@@FlyingTigersKMT yeah. In the sleepers video, Stype says that some weird names like Blanket actually exist for kids. And i've heard of someone called "colapso cardíaco da silva" wich translates to "heart failure of silva" like, bruh what were they thinking?
The Zonda F is named after Fangio, Horacio's gateway to almost everything related to his company. He shown Horacio's talents to Lamborghini (where he developed a Countach fully made of carbon fiber and aluminium), and i can't remember the rest😅. But i know that the original C12 was going to be called Fangio [something]. And after Fangio's death, Horacio changed the name of his first car and idk why, because it would be cool to see the 1st Pagani as a tribute. But said tribute came afterwards, as the Zonda F (yeah, i don't remember much of the story, but still, i'm telling what i know)
Horacio changed the original C12 name because he didn't want it to be disrespectful to Fangio or something like that, so he changed it to Zonda
@@kevinsantos7031 oh. And i must say, Zonda is better in my opinion. Fits the agressive and italian design
Fangio is supposed to mean Argentinian F1 Champion Juan Manuel Fangio and I had just began thinking about that after remembering that Horacio is Argentinian and born in Argentina and Fangio is from Argentina too like what I had just said so that's why I thought Fangio is supposed to mean Juan Manuel Fangio from F1
@@MalaysianPlayer19 yeah, the F1 driver. Now i remember

How about the Ferrari Dino -- engines and later on cars named for Enzo's late son (the one he acknowledged). Or the Alfonso XIII Hispano Suiza, named for the king of Spain at the beginning of the last century, often said to have been the first purpose-built sports car. Or every car MB has built for the past century, "Mercedes" having been the given name of Daimler Benz's Parisian concessionaire. The Bardot story is magic, btw! (Oh -- just remembered: Alfa Romeo named an edition of the 2000 GTV [the one with the de Dion rear] for Mario Andretti who was driving F1 Alfas at the time. )
Just an information. The Seicento isn't the only car Fiat named after Michael Schumacher. There's also a Fiat Stilo MS Edition.
6:16
6:21
You know it's going to rain, no matter what when Stype says "cut" and the video doesn't end.
The Michael Schumacher reference was really not nice.. imagine his family seeing this
they'll call me an ass and that's it
Thr absolute WORST car on the list was named after the BEST driver in F1's history lol
@@TopCarsTV You are an arse for real. Unsubscribing :)
All Aston Martin DB's are named after David Brown, who owned the company for a while. The tractor guy.
Also in India fiat launched a special edition car in their existing car the fiat palio s10.
It was named after the cricket player Sachin Tendulkar.
I was expecting an Opel Adam, funny name for the car
and named after Adam Opel, or the Opel Karl...you guessed it; named after Karl Opel...
It's topcars TV
Where inappropriate jokes and humor meets gasoline and burning tyres
*_That BMW joke was Classy..._* 🤭😅😂🤣
There is a special edition for Sebastian Vettel, a Infiniti FX50.
What about the Lotus Seven and 340R xD
(Technically also Carlton, but that is a Opel/Vauxhall)
Ferrari Enzo
Citroen C4 Grand Picasso
Edsel Fords entire lineup.
Lotus 2-Eleven, 3-Eleven, Seven and 340R are not road going models. They are track only
@@TopCarsTV 340r is road legal.
@@TopCarsTV Lotus 7 eleven is a supermarket, you're welcome
My favorite of McLean senna
Wanna hear a sad story? Enzo Ferrari had a son named Dino at one point, and then at sone point in the 1950's he ended up dying. To honor him, old Enzo made the Ferrari Dino 246, one of the most rarest, most beautiful, and most timeless cars from the Italian Stallion.
Btw can you make a video on top 10 cars with amazing interiors
And then a vid on top 10 cars with terrible ones 😂
They didn’t even see this comment I guess🥲
I think the Spa Mercedes and the De Tomaso P12 already have a spot
@@thadynakat please
@@LotsOfToubleUsuallySerious locked for them fr
You are very creative yet very much underrated. Good work man.❤
The bb name isn't as great as the Elise/Elisa story. My thoughts. That one was cool and to the point that she grew up and still apart of the picture, it is up there. The Benny Ciaola one was nice too.
For the 3 HMs, 1, Ferrari Enzo, 3 the Edsel Ford and 2, C4 Picasso.
The legend has returned when we need him
Honorable Mentions:
1. Ferrari Enzo
2. Citroën Grand C4 Picasso
3. Edsel Ranger
7:54
I noticed it a long time ago, but never realised the history behind it.
Stype must feel honoured having a Jaguar named after him
My list:
Ford Edsel (named after Edsel Ford)
Opel Adam (named after Adam Opel)
Ferrari 612 Scaglietti (named after Sergio Scaglietti)
Lamborghini Sian FKP 37 (named after Ferdinand Karl Piëch)
Ferrari Enzo (named after Enzo Ferrari)
Citroen Xsara/C4 Picasso (named after
Pablo Picasso)
Pininfarina Battista (named after Battista Pininfarina)
I love the Battista
Stype showed names that I’ll never ever hear in life.
Another awesome vid! A customer of ours has one of these special edition evoques , the rose gold is just a sun faded bright pink it looks terrible, our customer also hated it and got all the trim repaired after a few weeks...!
ayyyy sick concept, im happy you mentioned infinti, coz my dad works for nissan, so i love both nissan and infiniti
Featuring: every Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Ferrari
No. That's car companies named after people (almost every single one). Here we're talking about specific models
@@TopCarsTV Fair, fair, but I expected the Ferrari Dino as well
@@DefinitelyNotEmma there's none. Dino was a brand on its own.
@@pierreprovidence2589 You just shattered my perception of the world.
@@pierreprovidence2589 Not 100% true.
There was a FERRARI Dino308 GT 4.
And of course the FIAT Dino...😉
There is "Renault Megane Coupe GT Robert Kubica" as well
Well Lotus weren't going to call a car Colin, anymore that a TVR would call a model Trevor 😂
Miss the Omega EF, Monza EF (Emerson Fittipaldi) and Corsa Piquet
Corsa Piquet the best of all times
"How many times do you want to change the thumbnail?"
TopCars TV: "Yes"
yes
I already knew the BC story, but damn it’s so wholesome. I love it
0:18 Infiniti's crossovers look like smaller/bigger versions of each other. I almost thought that was the QX30 that they used to make with Mercedes-Benz a few years ago.
There is two more road going rally cars, that you missed:
1. 1993 - Toyota Celica "Carlos Sainz Edition"
2. 2004 - Subaru Impreza WRX STi "Petter Solberg Edition"
great list as always Stype! you did forget one though the Infiniti FX Vettel edition!
My research list contains 54 cars. Not all of them have an interesting story to tell
That includes the FX Vettel edition too
@@TopCarsTV alright my bad
no Ferrari Dino?The story behind the name is quite sad ....
Educational, Informative, and most important...laugh out loud FUNNY!
U forgot senna
4:46
My personal favourite is the Rover James
0:15 How did you forget the MP4-12C??
2:11 Tom CRUISE (VANILLA SKY) in the movie Oblivion (2013).
Where's the Mercedes Benz 300SLR Uhlenhault Coupe? It's named after Designer Rudolf Uhlenhault
7:20 im glad i was on the 2019 Geneva motor show :)
6:00 Pickle Rick!!!😂😂😂😂 Stype never loses touch!!
The ferrari 612 scaletti named Sergio scaletti aka the man who compted 250 gto and many other ferraris
1. Ferrari Enzo named after Enzo Ferrari.
2. Citerion someting I guess??? Named after......
3. Ford Edsel
That's a C4 Picasso
Ford's Edsel, named after Edsel Ford.
Edsel was nothing but a failure. So Edsel Ford was badly insulted because of the car.
@@mdrayan1785 Yeah, Edsel Ford was roasted by Ford, or the Fool Motor Company. Because Ford is a Fool, he can't even design a freaking car. I feel bad for the man who got roasted by a bunch of dumbasses, and the car with the bad-looking grille that was designed by a dumb car company named Ford. Today, Ford gets the attention it really doesn't deserve.
C4 Picasso, also, Criterion?!
That _LAPUTA_ sounded powerful
Wich means the b*tch in spanish. But in a curse word sense
Just for the 'I turned myself into a pickle' bit this deserves a like 😂
After 3 weeks, he's back again.
its been many years, and still the same great old video style
Valentino Balboni it's very famous and important man of Lamborghini group...even deserving of a car that bears his name...🇮🇹
Half the RUclips car guys try to be sharp and witty but at best they're annoying and at worse unwatchable. Stype is the best. Even if l don't agree with what he's saying l still enjoy hearing it. I also like the fact that he doesn't have his face in the camera half the video. I watch car videos to see the cars, not some mook with a face for radio trying to crack feeble jokes. In otherwords l like this channel.
Thanks Mike
Thanks for another brilliant video. Cheers.
🍻
Keep up the great work!
You forgot the Pagani Zonda F standing for Juan Manuel Fangio, a very close friend and helper to Horacio Pagani
COME ON, i thought it wouldn't be so mentioned
The beginning of the video was very funny😂
There is also the Clio Williams, named after Frank Williams
Well its more named after the Williams F1 team
There is the Nissan Gloria too
Topcars TV all day, everyday
Brasil had the Chevrolet Omega Fittipaldi, just a 6 cylinder Holden Commodore
0:07 Phil Dunphy energy
beckham needs to visiti this channel
the detail in 7:32 😂
Ohh Finally! Stype posts!
Imagine if someone was called: MP4-12C.
6:15 Here in Brazil,Fiat released the version of Stilo Schumacher edition,17 inch wheels and this yellow like ferrari😅
Sebastian Vettel has an Infiniti FX 50, Fernando Alonso has a Ferrari 599 GTB, Lewis Hamilton has a custom made Zonda Roadster punted in a special purple color
BB stands for "Berlinetta Bi-Albero" (but reporters got it wrong at the presentation event)
The Bardot story is a colossal BS made up by Journalists, that Fioravanti is been playing for years
But you guys just keep falling for it, and it's so fun
Interesting. But why did Ferrari name it the Berlinetta Boxer then, if they already had a more sensible name with Berlinetta Bialbero?
Valentino Balboni worked for Lamborghini so long that he got a re-badged Audi named after him.
What a shame😓.
R8 is a rebadged Gallardo
@@TopCarsTV so what's the correct one ?
R8 rebadged Gallardo
Or
Gallardo rebadged R8
?
@@TopCarsTV True Lambo's are uncompromising V12 Supercars. When they start sharing platforms and engines with other VW's, they're not Lambo's. The Gallardo/Hurican/Urus are all built with the "Groups" orgies. What gets born is anyone's guess where it came from.
@@TopCarsTV the Valentino Balboni edition was not all manuals. In fact, the man himself pushed for them all to be offered with a MT, but Lamborghini probably saw that as a hard sell and offered it in e-gear as well. Sadly, most of them were ordered by customers in e-gear configuration.. sacrilege.. 🥺🥺
Because it would be more Balboni-ish to have a more enjoyable car, slower and RWD than the fastest lambo ever at the time with the SV's V12 and 4WD
Schumacher a vegetable.. chill
WRC!!!! Thank!
And here i was thinking i was special naming my cars after my Ex's....
i think a "special edition" is stretching it a bit as "named after a person", especially if it's just a trim-level, considering the Enzo Ferrari is not a trim-level but a whole car. I mean the car's name is literally "Enzo Ferrari", some publications call it by default the "Ferrari Enzo", but when you Wikipedia the car, the name is arranged in the same order as the car's namesake founder. Very few car manufacturers have the audacity to challenge the naming schemes of cars like that, cuz usually the order is as goes: from left to right; model year; Name of manufacturer; name of model, engine specifications (like 4lit V6); sporty version tag (like AMG or GTR); body style tag; special edition tag.
well, I guess you're saying those publications and indeed Ferrari themselves are wrong, because it is NOT called the Enzo Ferrari officially, it's called the Ferrari Enzo officially; as seen in the maranello Ferrari museum.
Honorable mentions:
Enzo (Enzo Ferrari)
Picasso (Pablo Picasso)
Edsel (Edsel Ford)
nice video
EB in EB110 stands for ettore Bugatti (I don't know if I spelled that right)
Speaking of car names, why did you guys remove the bad car names video?
It's not removed
So uhh, can I have the link?
I finally found it! It's been months
hey Stype you forgot the Punto edition which is an improvement in 2007 or 8 idk
What about the Nissan Silvia?
Who is it named after?
I was expecting to see the Alfa Romeo Giulia here, but don't have any clue if the car was named after somebody or it's just a beautiful name they came with
is it just me or anyone else also here for stype jokes 🤣
Wass gooooood
What about the pagani zonda LH named after hamilton?
That's just a one-off
What about the Ferrari Dino? Interesting it did not even get an honorable mention. I wonder if you know the story behind Dino?
Ferrari Dino isn't a model, it's a sub brand. Models were 206, 246, 208, 308
me who is a British person: When you say you are fine but your not really fine
6:10 That special edition was not created to make that car fast but was designed to be suitable for tuning
What exactly did they do to it? How is it better for tuning than a regular one?
@@TopCarsTV It turns out that someone changed the engine to a car of those for the engine of a Lanser EVO they adapted an electric motor on the rear axle turning that car a hybrid of 784 horsepower
@@electricbrightness9575 you can do that with any car if you are willing enough
Nice 👍
How about the Adam Opel?
Boring car to talk about
Wdym its a girly car so its Chris's new car
@@TopCarsTV black adam egg. It's so simple to describe it
The Schumacher joke 💀💀💀💀
Next video:
*which dealerships are named after people*
😁
Buddy, I love you and I loved this video but no-oh, I don't enjoy Schumi jokes yet😅
If it wasn't for that man, I'd have zero interest in cars let alone F1. I'm a german 90s kid. You think I'd have watched Heinz Harald Effing Frentzen every weekend? The shittier one of my brothers was into cars so I hated all that but then...a legend, a wizard, a hero appeared...who was named Shaquille O'neal to be honest but that's a different story. I already really liked Schumacher then and realized what a massive champion that dude was and STILL IS and therefore we don't make fun of him, we say "Keep fighting, Schumi" knowing we won't likely see him again but that's the morally right thing to do here. My sense of humor is crying his eyes out right now but I'm almost serious, he has a wife and kids who...can't move on really...it's too sad to make fun of
Mini Cooper, naned after John Cooper. Also his initials are on the Mini Cooper JCW.
No mention of the Ferrari Dino?
Who else smashed like before the video started
10:26 with that picture i thought he nicknamed the car *BOX* after her ^^
NIIIIIIIIICE! GOOD ONE STYPE187
Except for The enzo i would not know any
the Citroën Grand C4 Picasso(named after well... Picasso)
