Why Volkswagen Names Its Cars After Winds
Volkswagen has a long tradition of naming its models after winds and atmospheric currents. This reflects the brand’s focus on aerodynamic design, tested in massive wind tunnels to reduce drag and improve efficiency. Some examples include: - Bora: named for the cold, dry northeast Adriatic wind - Golf: from Golfstrom, the warm Gulf Stream current - Jetta: after the high-altitude jet stream - Passat: German for trade winds near the equator - Polo: from polar winds blowing toward lower latitudes - Scirocco: the hot Sahara wind that reaches Southern Europe What do you think of this naming tradition?
