what animal is on the porsche logo

The animal on the Porsche logo is a horse. The city of Stuttgart, where the Porsche world headquarters are located, was originally built atop a horse-breeding farm, and the city used horses in its seal. Porsche, in homage to its hometown, tossed a horse into the center of its own logo. The horse on the logo is flanked diagonally by red and black stripes, which was influenced by the coat of arms of the Free Peoples State of Württemberg of former Weimar Germany, but since the cars were produced in Stuttgart, its coat of arms with a black stallion on a yellow background was also placed in the middle of the emblem.
