Porsche

The design of the Porsche logo incorporates the coat of arms of the city of Stuttgart, Germany. I found this city to be rather appropriate for the manufacture of muscle cars when I read the rough translation of the name. Take a guess at it ... Stuttgart. I will leave a comment with the answer.
Happy Leap Year!

The name roughly translates to "stud garden". The city originated as a horse stable in the 10th century, where horses were bred for cavalry.

Stud garden ... awesome!

I was going to guess "stout heart". I suck.

P.S. The horse is kinda leaping... shouldn't that count as Leap-Year-related??
