Top Cars Named After Countries, States and Planets

After doing enough digging for an off-the-beaten-path topic to write about cars, I've come across everything from driver safety tips on down to a list of vehicles named after animals. And it's the last one idea that led me to write about some of the most well-known (and relatively obscure) cars and trucks named after a country, city or even better, a planet Names For Red Cars .

On top of that, I'll give a little bio on when they were introduced to the masses, whether they were discontinued or "slightly modified" to something else. You know, like how a Cobalt became the Cruze. Has a much crisper sound to it, I guess.

So, here's a handful of cars named after some of our most popular destinations… except for outer space, unless you've been witness to it and then, well, you're lucky.

Chevrolet Tahoe: Before the name change in 1995 from its original moniker as the Chevy Blazer, this full-size SUV shares the same alias as a lively lake/ski resort in California. And with the right car accessories, you can make the Tahoe car just as swanky as the city.

Maserati Indy: This one's an oldie, but a goodie. As a homage to the great race held over Memorial Day, this Maserati model had a brief lifespan from 1969 to 1975.

Chevrolet Malibu: One of the most notable cars in the Chevrolet lineup, this mainstay in the hearts of many in the U.S. and other regions outside have related to the warm, fuzzy feelings of the beach town it's named for. Until the late 70's, this model was known as the Chevelle… not a state, but the name was catchy enough anyways.

Ferrari California: Back in the mid to late 1950's, the Ferrari 250 GT was nicknamed California, and it wasn't until around 2008 that this super high-performance vehicle was permanently bestowed the moniker of this sunny, coastal and free-spirited state.

Hyundai Santa Fe & Tucson: I figured I lump these two into each other and point out that Hyundai apparently loved the great Southwest so much it went ahead and appointed these states as much.

Chevrolet Bel Air: Noticing a trend with Chevrolet, yet? Well that's because California cities have received a lot of attention with current, and past, models. The Bel Air had a great body design that leaned more towards the "boaty" cars than current, more aerodynamic models. And it had a great run of about 25 years of production up until 1975. I'm sure if you look hard enough in auctions or the classifieds, you'll find some collectors who still appreciate their design.

Mercury Milan: I've always loved the sound of this one, mostly because I want to visit Italy (it's a bucket list sort of thing). Anyways, this car shared similar build to the Crown Victoria… but a little more slick in the aerodynamics and power. While it only had a shelf life for a little over 6 years, it was still a notable one nonetheless.

Chevrolet Vega: Now there's a little variety. Taking a break from the states and cities, Chevrolet had a subcompact car named after the constellations. One of the brightest stars in the constellation Lyra, to be exact. This model could be found on roadways between 1971-1977.

It’s no secret that Americans love trucks. Not only are pickup trucks the perennial best sellers in the top three spots — with Ford, Chevrolet and Ram all represented — market share for truck-like crossovers and SUVs are eking ever higher as sedans and hatchbacks continue to decline. And judging by the amount of interest in the brand-new Ford Bronco and the ongoing love of the competitor…

SUV, crossover, CUV ou aventureiro?

Atualmente, mais da metade dos carros vendidos no mundo é classificada como SUV. Mas boa parte não faz jus à sigla, que pode ser traduzida como veículo utilitário-esportivo. SUVs, crossovers e aventureiros têm características únicas, nem sempre conhecidas da maioria dos consumidores.

INSCREVA-SE NO CANAL DO JORNAL DO CARRO NO YOUTUBE

Os utilitários-esportivos de verdade combinam elementos de carros de passeio e off-road. A linhagem foi iniciada pelo Jeep Cherokee nos anos 80.

Mas a definição absoluta pode ser um tanto confusa. Em tese os SUVs devem ter carroceria montada sobre a plataforma de picapes, ou, pelo menos, ter chassi sobre longarina.

Essa arquitetura, aliás, é cada vez menos utilizada atualmente. Está sobretudo em modelos americanos de grande porte, como o Chevrolet Suburban.

Há marcas que chamam de SUV qualquer veículo com alguma capacidade para enfrentar o fora de estrada. No Brasil, o Instituto Nacional de Metrologia, Qualidade e Tecnologia (Inmetro) determina que, para ser considerado como um SUV, o carro precisa ter pelo menos quatro de cinco características.

SUVs têm especificações próprias

São elas: ao menos 200 milímetros de altura livre do solo entre os eixos, distância do solo abaixo dos eixos de ao menos 180 mm, ângulo de ataque a partir de 23°, ângulo de saída de 20° ou mais e ângulo de transposição de obstáculos de 10° ou mais. Como não há regras acerca do tipo de motor e tração, modelos como o Renault Kwid são classificados como SUV.

No Brasil, a imagem de SUV ainda é ligada a alguma capacidade para fora de estrada. Mesmo no caso de modelos sem opção de tração 4×4.

Um dos primeiros SUVs modernos lançados no País foi a Chevrolet Blazer, de 1995. Era baseada na picape S10 e tinha origem em carros americanos. Apesar de ter boa distância livre do solo e jeitão de jipe, a Blazer só ganhou versão 4×4 anos depois do lançamento.

SUVs, CUVs e afins

Abaixo dos SUVs existem ainda os CUVs (crossover utilitiy vehicles). Eles representam um cruzamento de tipos de carroceria, e normalmente designam a mistura de carros de passeio com utilitários. Em geral, têm pouca ou nenhuma aptidão para o off-road. Na maioria, a tração é dianteira.

Os CUVs são crossovers que utilizam a plataforma de carros pequenos. Em geral, têm visual moderno, apelo urbano e são voltados ao uso familiar. Um dos próximos a chegar será o Volkswagen Nivus, neste ano.

Os crossovers fazem tanto sucesso que derrubaram as vendas de minivans nos Estados Unidos e decretaram o fim do segmento no Brasil. A favor, oferecem versatilidade e espaço próximo ao das vans – e com menos estigma de “carro de família”. Entre os exemplos estão o Nissan Murano (abaixo) e o Ford Edge.

Os aventureiros estão em um degrau abaixo dos crossovers. São apenas versões com visual off-road de modelos conhecidos.

No Brasil, o pioneiro foi a Fiat Palio Adventure, de 1999. Trata-se de uma versão da perua Palio Weekend, mas com suspensão elevada, pneus de uso misto e adereços como quebra-mato e apliques nos para-lamas. O carro fez história e criou uma das tendências mais duradouras do mercado nacional.

Desde então, praticamente todas as marcas lançaram modelos aventureiros. Houve até carros improváveis, como o furgovan Fiat Doblò, que também teve versão Adventure.

Esses modelos até são ligeiramente melhores que seus pares “civis” em estradinhas de terra, mas não têm itens como tração 4×4. Para tentar aumentar a capacidade off-road da linha Adventure, a Fiat lançou o Locker, um bloqueio eletrônico do diferencial no eixo dianteiro.

Os aventureiros da marca italiana são os únicos do segmento a oferecer um sistema desse tipo. No mais, a maioria dos modelos do segmento sequer tem pneus de uso misto.

Rural, a mãe de todos os SUVs

Figura inconfundível nas ruas e estradas do Brasil, onde foi produzida de 1958 a 1977, a Rural Willys faz parte de uma linhagem de modelos lançada nos Estados Unidos em 1946. O modelo fez história e parte da vida de muitos brasileiros, que viajaram com a família, foram �� escola e trabalharam, na cidade e no campo, a bordo de uma Rural.

O carro surgiu com o nome de Jeep Station Wagon e era feito no País pela Willys Overland, que detinha a marca Jeep. Na época, após a Segunda Guerra, a Willys não produzia suas próprias carrocerias e estava em dificuldades financeiras.

Por isso, o modelo criado pelo designer industrial Brooks Stevens era feito de chapas de metal simples. Isso permitia que a carroceria fosse montada por qualquer tipo de estamparia, como as que faziam partes para aplicações domésticas.

Além de serem fáceis de construir, essas partes eram mais duráveis do que as de madeira, utilizadas nas laterais das station wagons da época, por causa do esforço de guerra. A “Rural” norte-americana ainda foi o primeiro carro da Willys com suspensão dianteira independente.

Em 1949, a marca lançou nos Estados Unidos a versão com tração nas quatro rodas. A variante com tração traseira era chamada de Station Wagon, enquanto a 4×4 foi batizada de Utility Wagon. O modelo é considerado o primeiro SUV (utilitário-esportivo) da história.

A versão com tração integral combinava o bom espaço interno e a versatilidade de peruas com a capacidade off-road que já era marca registrada da Jeep. Tanto que, nos Estados Unidos, o sucessor da Rural foi o Jeep Wagoneer, com apelo bem mais familiar e itens de luxo como ar-condicionado, câmbio automático e vidros elétricos.

A produção da Jeep Station Wagon foi encerrada em 1964. Isso ocorreu um ano depois do lançamento do Wagoneer.

No Brasil, Rural começou a ser feita em 1958

A história da Rural no Brasil é longa. O modelo começou a ser produzido em 1958 pela filial brasileira da Willys Overland. Nos anos 70, o carro passou a ser feito pela Ford, que comprou a operação da Willys.

A Rural teve três opções de motor durante todo seu ciclo de produção. O primeiro foi um seis-cilindros de 2,6 litros, que depois foi ampliado para 3.0.

Em 1975, o modelo ganhou motor Ford, de 2,3 litros. A potência era de cerca de 90 cv.

Desde 1961, a linha era composta por uma versão picape, amplamente utilizada pelo Exército Brasileiro. Essa opção foi mantida em produção após o fim da configuração familiar, em 1977. Batizada de Ford F-75, foi montada até 1983.
