Can you List all cars named after animals?

There isn't a definitive list of cars explicitly named *after* animals, as naming conventions can be subjective. Many car names evoke animal imagery or characteristics (e.g., "Mustang" suggesting a wild horse's spirit), but aren't directly named for a specific animal species.

However, here are some cars with names that clearly or arguably reference animals:

* Ford Mustang: Clearly named after the wild horse.

* Chevrolet Camaro: The origin of the name is debated, but it's often linked to "camarro," a type of small, aggressive fish.

* Jaguar: Directly named after the big cat.

* Panther: Several car models have used "Panther" in their names (e.g., De Tomaso Pantera).

* Dodge Ram: Named after the ram (sheep).

* Lamborghini Countach: While not directly an animal name, "Countach" is a Piedmontese exclamation of amazement, often associated with the powerful image of a bull (Lamborghini's logo is a bull).

* Porsche 911 (arguably): Some argue the "911" phonetics resemble a cat's meow. This is highly subjective, however.

It's crucial to note that many other car names might *suggest* animals through their connotations (like "Cougar," "Viper," etc.), but they aren't direct translations or names of specific animals. The above list represents the strongest cases.
