Into The Jungle: Ferocious Cars That Were Named After Animals

Ford Mustang

The first Mustang was so successful that it started a new class of cars – pony cars. It entered the history books as one of the best first-year sales ever. Over the years, the Mustang became an automotive symbol of America and one of its finest and most respected automobiles worldwide (via Ford).

So, what’s the secret of the Mustang’s appeal? A good amount of performance with a V8 engine and good looks in an affordable package with a long list of options. Of course, don’t forget the image and the name, which suggested images of wild horses running through the prairie.
