### Spyker
**Country:** Netherlands
**Brand Establishment Year:** 1875
**Brand Style:** A perfect blend of art and technology, luxurious and timeless design, unique and unconventional.
**Classic Model:** C8 Spyder (starting at 48.8 million RMB)
Spyker, a factory with over a century of history, has always maintained its unique brand style. All their sports cars are handmade, featuring lightweight bodies, large-displacement mid-mounted engines, rear-wheel drive, and numerous specifications based on F1 standards, offering astonishing performance parameters. In 1898, the Spijker brothers, Jacobus and Hendrik-Jan, manufactured their first car in Amsterdam using a Mercedes engine. Their exceptional body manufacturing skills immediately garnered praise. The same year, to celebrate the coronation of Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, they created the famous Golden Coronation Carriage, which is still in use today. From that point onward, the Spijker brothers entered a turning point in their careers: dedicating Spyker entirely to automobile manufacturing. To better suit foreign markets, they changed "ij" in Spijker to "y," officially renaming the company Spyker. As a renowned luxury sports car manufacturer, Spyker's noble sports cars are fully customized according to customer demands. In 2005, Spyker increased production to around 100 cars per year. Not only do we produce for a limited number of prestigious owners, but each model is also an exclusive collector's item. Spyker launches a new car model every year, and when global production reaches 500 units, production stops immediately. Spyker targets the highest-end users in the sports car market, primarily concentrated in the U.S., Western Europe, the Middle East, Greater China, and smaller wealthy nations like Switzerland and Monaco.

### Rolls-Royce
**Country:** United Kingdom
**Brand Establishment Year:** 1904
**Brand Style:** Luxury and elegance
**Classic Model:** Phantom (starting at 50 million RMB)
Mr. Rolls was a nobleman and a racer who loved socializing and making friends. He always wanted to produce a truly British car. Mr. Royce, an outstanding engineer with diverse talents, was very interested in Rolls' plan and thus joined forces to create British luxury cars. The first Rolls-Royce car was born in Manchester, marking the beginning of their highly acclaimed journey. In 1906, Charles Rolls and Henry Royce co-founded Rolls-Royce. Initially, Rolls-Royce focused on aircraft engine manufacturing, with cars as a secondary product; they continue to produce aircraft engines today. The sculpted trademark of Rolls-Royce is a gleaming silver flying goddess statue, "The Spirit of Ecstasy." Its origin dates back to 1911 when, through the introduction of Sir Montagu, Rolls met artist and sculptor Charles Sykes. He commissioned Sykes to design a sculptural trademark for Rolls-Royce. Sykes used Miss Eleanor Thornton, a journalist from The Car Illustrated, as the model and designed "The Spirit of Ecstasy," symbolizing the soul of speed. On February 6, 1911, "The Spirit of Ecstasy" graced Rolls-Royce, immersing the world in fresh air and the beautiful melody of wing vibrations. The unveiling ceremony of "The Spirit of Ecstasy" was as grand and enthusiastic as the launch of the first Rolls-Royce car. The logo of Rolls-Royce features two overlapping "R"s, symbolizing unity and harmony between the two founders.

### Maserati

Maserati is a well-known Italian racing and sports car manufacturer founded in Bologna in 1914. The company's current headquarters are located in Modena, and its emblem features a trident. Maserati was once part of Ferrari (a company majority-owned by Fiat) for several years and is now directly owned by the Italian automotive giant Fiat. The Maserati brothers—Alfieri, Bindo, Carlo, Ettore, Ernesto, and Mario—all ventured into the automotive industry in the early 20th century. Alfieri, Bindo, and Ernesto manufactured 2-liter Grand Prix racing cars for Diatto. When Diatto ceased producing racing cars in 1926, it led to the creation of the first Maserati model. Alfieri drove the first Maserati to victory in the 1926 Targa Florio race. Maserati began producing racing cars with 4, 6, 8, and 16 valves (essentially two inline-eight valve assemblies). Mario, an artist, is credited with designing the company's emblem—a trident. Alfieri Maserati passed away in 1932, but his three brothers kept the company running, creating race-winning vehicles.

### Aston Martin
**Country:** United Kingdom
**Brand Establishment Year:** 1914
**Brand Style:** Unique styling, exquisite craftsmanship, superior performance.
**Classic Model:** DBS (starting at 41 million RMB)
Aston Martin is a renowned British luxury car and sports car manufacturer established in 1913 by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford. The company is based in Newport, UK, and is famous worldwide for producing convertible touring cars, racing cars, and limited-production sports cars. Participating in races was an important means of developing passenger car production, but due to excessive costs and poor management, the company was acquired by Ford in 1987. The Aston Martin logo features a soaring eagle with the words "Aston" and "Martin" inscribed, symbolizing the company's ambition and speed akin to a descending eagle. The mention of "Aston" and "Martin" indicates a "triple alliance" car company. The fame of Aston Martin Lagonda owes much to this eagle's luck. Mentioning Aston Martin brings to mind the legendary stories of James Bond (007), seemingly attributing its success to him.

### Bentley
**Country:** United Kingdom
**Brand Establishment Year:** 1919
**Brand Style:** Outstanding driving experience, combining traditional handcrafted techniques with powerful sports performance.
**Classic Models:** Arnage 728 (9.98 million RMB), Arnage RL (5.48 million RMB), Continental GT (3.08 million RMB), Continental Flying (2.98 million RMB)
Bentley was founded by two brothers and was officially translated as "Bentley" when it first entered China in 2001. Walter Owen Bentley served as an apprentice in the railway industry before transitioning to the automotive sector. In 1912, he and his brother Horace Milner founded Bentley Motors in London, selling French DFP cars. He improved these cars by replacing their engines with aluminum pistons, enhancing performance. During World War I, he worked for the British Royal Naval Air Service Technical Committee, improving the Clerget engine, leading to the renowned BR1 and BR2 aviation engines. In 1919, W.O. Bentley returned to selling DFP cars and launched the Bentley 3.0-liter car named after himself. This 3-liter engine, producing 85 horsepower and capable of speeds over 80 mph, dominated various races, winning five consecutive championships at the Le Mans circuit in France from 1924 to 1930. Bentley embarked on a journey of designing high-end sports and racing cars. In 1935, Bentley left to join Lagonda, where he worked for 11 years. W.O. Bentley passed away in 1971. The Bentley logo features the letter "B" with wings, resembling a soaring eagle, a symbol that has been used consistently since its inception.

### Maybach
**Country:** Germany
**Brand Establishment Year:** 1921
**Brand Style:** Exquisite elegance, ultimate individuality, perfectionism.
**Classic Models:** Maybach 57S (7.31 million RMB), 62S (8.3 million RMB)
Daimler-Chrysler announced in New York the revival of the German ultra-luxury car brand Maybach, dormant for 60 years. The first models introduced were the Maybach 57 and Maybach 62, produced by Mercedes-Benz, priced at 310,000 euros and 360,000 euros respectively. These prices are astonishing, equivalent to approximately 3.5 times the price of a Mercedes S600 or 2.5 times the price of a Ferrari 360. Even the renowned Rolls-Royce and Bentley can only match the Maybach 62 with their top-tier products. Some have defined the resurrected Maybach as "Germany's Rolls-Royce." While this statement holds some truth, it is not entirely accurate. Rolls-Royce, the pride of British automakers, will soon belong to the German BMW Group, becoming "authentically German." Another ultra-luxury brand, Bentley, has also joined the German Volkswagen Group. Currently, BMW is busy updating Rolls-Royce and may introduce a new model in the coming years. Against this backdrop, Daimler's decision to launch the Maybach appears strategic, positioning it as a sharp weapon in the ultra-luxury car market rather than allowing BMW exclusive access to this segment. Compared to Rolls-Royce's "Angel" logo, Maybach's double-M logo is much simpler. Initially, the double-M stood for "Maybach Automobiles," and now it signifies "Made by Maybach." The Maybach logo consists of two intersecting Ms surrounded by a spherical triangle, evoking memories of its legendary cars and era: alongside Mercedes models, it became one of the absolute classics of German automakers. With exquisite technology, supreme quality, and unique style, they became the focus of global attention. Each car is independently crafted according to customer specifications, with engines and chassis entirely handmade.

### Ferrari
**Country:** Italy
**Brand Establishment Year:** 1947
**Brand Style:** Speed and passion, innovation and courage.
**Classic Models:** F430 (27 million RMB), F430 Spider (32 million RMB), 599 GTB (43.5 million RMB), 612 Scaglietti (43.8 million RMB)
Ferrari is an Italian car manufacturer specializing in Formula One racing cars, racing cars, and high-performance sports cars, founded by Enzo Ferrari in 1929. Initially, Ferrari sponsored racers and produced racing cars, later evolving into an independent car manufacturer. It is now part of the Fiat Group, headquartered in Maranello, near Modena, Italy. Italian cars are known as the "Two Kings and One Queen"—the two kings being Ferrari and Lamborghini, and the queen being Maserati. Enzo Ferrari, the founder of Ferrari, said his favorite racing car was one he had yet to build, and his greatest success was one he had yet to achieve. This Italian man, whose blood boiled with a passion for cars from a young age, convinced his father at 13 to begin driving alone. The roar of engines on the racing track and the thrill of competition inspired him to fight harder. Driving Alfa Romeo cars, he achieved numerous victories, earning the nickname "Knight" from his teammates. From participating in races to founding a racing club, he eventually established his own car company. Today, Ferrari is celebrated as the "Red Lightning." The shield-shaped Ferrari logo features a prancing black horse against the color of Modena's golden canary feathers. The prancing horse originates from Modena, Ferrari's founder's birthplace, imbued with legendary heroism. During World War I, the highly decorated Italian pilot Francesco Baracca first adopted this symbol as his personal insignia, painting it on his aircraft. After the war, Baracca's parents entrusted this prancing horse to Enzo Ferrari, who placed it on a yellow shield as a symbol of the team. Later, following Baracca's death in battle, the horse turned black, with the Italian flag added above it as a tribute.

### Porsche
**Country:** Germany
**Brand Establishment Year:** 1948
**Brand Style:** Ultimate sports car for daily use.
**Classic Model:** Porsche 911 Turbo (19.5 million RMB)
Ferdinand Porsche, the founder of Porsche, invented the electric wheel hub motor at the age of 24 (in 1899). The following year, at the Paris International Exhibition, Porsche gained international fame. Porsche cars have distinct characteristics: a beetle-like shape, rear-mounted engines, and superior performance, quickly establishing them as well-known automobiles. In 1963, at the Frankfurt International Motor Show, Porsche unveiled the iconic 911 model, a design that remains popular to this day. The car's body designer was Ferry Porsche's eldest son, Ferdinand Alexander Porsche. Key developments include the 928 with a rear transaxle chassis and V-8 engine, the technologically advanced 955, and the 911 Carrera 4 with electronic-controlled four-wheel drive and a no-lift body. Porsche, previously translated as "Porsche," uses Stuttgart's shield-shaped city emblem as its logo. The center of the Porsche logo features a prancing horse, representing Stuttgart's famous breed of horses, with "Stuttgart" indicating the company's headquarters in Stuttgart. The deer antlers in the upper-left and lower-right corners signify Stuttgart's history as a hunting ground. The yellow stripes in the upper-right and lower-left corners represent ripe wheat, symbolizing a bountiful harvest, while black represents fertile land and red symbolizes human wisdom and love for nature. Together, these elements form a beautiful pastoral landscape, symbolizing Porsche's glorious past and promising future.

### Lamborghini
**Country:** Italy
**Brand Establishment Year:** 1963
**Brand Style:** Wildness and passion.
**Classic Model:** Lamborghini Murcielago (48.8 million RMB)
Lamborghini, also known as "Lamborghini" or "Linbaojian Ni," has the full name Ferruccio Lamborghini Automobili S.P.A. (Italian Ferruccio Lamborghini Automobile Stock Company). The Lamborghini logo features a powerful, attacking bull, aligning with the brand's high-horsepower, high-speed sports car characteristics. It is said this emblem also reflects the founder Ferruccio Lamborghini's bull-like determination. Ferruccio Lamborghini, the founder of Lamborghini S.P.A., along with the early production of sports cars and tractors, embodies the Italian spirit of ambition and perseverance. Starting as the son of a farmer, he worked tirelessly to become a respected industry leader. Driven by unwavering determination and almost obsessive passion, he relentlessly pursued the dream of creating the perfect sports car. Since then, the stubborn "bull" emblem has symbolized Lamborghini's unique characteristics—challenging limits, proud and extraordinary, bold and unrestrained.
