Porsche Revises The Design of Its Iconic Crest

Although it would take a devoted fan to immediately spot the changes, Porsche is the latest carmaker to modernise its badge. The sports car manufacturer claims it took no less than three years to complete the revised design of its iconic crest, despite the subtle design changes.

Porsche used the badge for the first time in 1952 and subsequently changed it in 1954, 1963, 1973, 1994, and 2008.

The initial Porsche logo journey starts in 1922 before the company was officially created. Because the brand was established in Stuttgart, it adopted an existing crest, the crest of Wurttemberg as its official emblem. The coat of arms for Wurttemberg was a large crest shield, featuring two deers – one on each side.

The updated emblem debuts just days before Porsche’s special event honouring the 75th anniversary of the 356 “No. 1” Roadster, the company’s first vehicle to receive road approval on June 8, 1948. Beginning in the latter part of this year, the somewhat redesigned badge will make its debut on automobiles. What has changed is that the red portions now have a honeycomb structure, and the brushed metal finish gives it a more upscale appearance.

2023 revised crest

It’s important to note that the Zuffenhausen brand hasn’t actually given up on the earlier creations because Porsche Classic still accepts orders for all retro badges. The rearing horse was based on the Stuttgart municipal seal, and the black and red hues as well as the stylised deer antlers were taken from the crest of Württemberg-Hohenzollern, among other interesting facts about the crest.

Franz Xaver Reimspieß, who is thought to have also created the Volkswagen emblem in 1936, was the creator of the original 1952 design. Porsche started building cars in 1948, but the crest didn’t debut until four years later. The insignia was first attached to the steering wheel rim at the end of 1952 before being integrated into the hood handle of the 356 Speedster in November 1954. In 1959, it was also placed on the hubcaps.

The updated Porsche crest may be shown on June 8 when the German company promises to “offer a look forward to its vision of the sports car of the future.” It might be a concept car to replace the electric 718 Boxster/Cayman, a hybrid 911, or a hypercar to fill the hole left by the demise of the 918 Spyder.

If you like the Suzuki Jimny and always thought that it was absurdly priced, then the iCaur 03 may just be the car for you. It has the same classic good looks of an off-roader with the some impressive off-road tech. But if you want a jeep-ish design with an EV powertrain then this might just be the car for you. Find out more here!

iCaur 03 Is The Perfect Substitute To The Suzuki Jimny
The GWM Tank 500 is in Malaysia for RM328,000, and it wants to convince you that it is a Land Cruiser on a budget. But is it? At that price range, it may certainly be a better buy than a BMW X3 or a Mercedes-Benz GLC, but buyers of those cars are more concerned with the badge at the front of their cars than having a car that gives them good value for money. 

So if you are in the market for a big SUV, should you be looking at the Tank 500? Here's everything you can expect from it.

What Can You Expect From The GWM Tank 500?
We understand, when it comes to naked bikes, the Honda CB750 Hornet may not be very high up there in your consideration list. And we don't blame you. There is not quite sexy about its design as compared to some of the European models, and in fact it may even look a little plain. 

But this is a bike that sticks to you once you ride it. And just like a Hornet, it keeps coming back for me. Except perhaps, this time it is the other way around. You will keep going back for more. We explain in this video.
