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.

[@TopCarsTV]

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

[@FlyingTigersKMT]

​@@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.

[@LotsOfToubleUsuallySerious]

​@@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

[@FlyingTigersKMT]

@@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.

[@LotsOfToubleUsuallySerious]

@@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?

[@donaldfedosiuk1638]

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. )

[@LotsOfToubleUsuallySerious]

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)

[@kevinsantos7031]

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

[@LotsOfToubleUsuallySerious]

@@kevinsantos7031 oh. And i must say, Zonda is better in my opinion. Fits the agressive and italian design

[@MalaysianPlayer19]

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

[@ChristoAbrie]

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.

[@TheChill001]
