Because the western auto industry developed earlier, the history of its auto brands is deeper and longer. It's like Rolls-Royce, you think it's just an ultra-luxury brand, but in fact the brand of aircraft engine you're flying in may also be called Rolls-Royce. It's like Lamborghini. You think it's just a supercar brand, but in fact, it used to be a tractor. But in fact, in addition to these two brands, there are many brands whose "previous lives" are beyond your imagination.

Most of the car companies in the early days were almost all mechanical-related, even if they didn’t start out as automobiles. Mazda, on the other hand, was the first to produce corks on hot water bottles. Mazda once belonged to the Ford company. In the last century, Mazda and Ford began a nearly 30-year cooperative relationship, and successively acquired more than 25% of the shares. Eventually, in 2015, Ford sold its final stake in Mazda completely, ending the partnership between the two brands.

Porsche's first pure electric car was just released some time ago, but in fact, its history of making electric cars can be traced back a long time. In 1899, Porsche invented an in-wheel electric motor, which was also the world's first four-wheel drive electric car. Not long afterward, Mr. Porsche added an internal combustion engine to the electric car, which is the world's first hybrid model.

During World War II, Porsche produced the famous Tiger P tank, and after World War II began to produce tractors. Now in addition to making cars, Porsche has also started to produce other types of products, such as high-end men's accessories, auto accessories, and even small buttons.

Audi was originally the largest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. After Germany was defeated in World War II, Mercedes-Benz acquired Audi. Later, Mercedes-Benz became Germany's largest automaker, but Audi was always at a low point in performance, and Audi was finally resold to Volkswagen because of financial problems.

Audi's original name is "Horch", August Horch is not only one of the pioneers of the German auto industry, but also the founder of Audi. The reason for the name change was that he left the company named after him, and Horch opened another company with the same name, but was sued by the original company. So it had to be renamed Audi, because Audi in Latin actually means the same as Horch in German.
