How many "Prancing Horses" on your F-car?

How many "Prancing Horses" on your F-car?

I recently started counting the number of "Prancing Horses" on my ferrari, as a result of a posting I read about a comment a user had about a Porsche that had "PORSCHE" on the car in numerous places. Then I started counting.....

I have noticed, without looking to hard, (and I know I will find more) as many as 18 "Prancing Horses" on the car.

So, my question is this.

How many "Prancing Horses" does your F-car have, and who has the most. (Stock, as well as aftermarket)

STOCK:
1.) rear body emblem
2.) emblem in front grill (euro 308)
3.) front emblem
4-7.) wheel center caps
8.) identification plate(engine compartment)
9.) hood release lever
10.) rear deck release lever
11-12.) speedo and tack
13.) ash tray lid
14.) horn button
15-16.) side mirrors (euro 308)

OPTIONAL/AFTERMARKET:

17-18.) side fender badges

FERRARI sure loves the horse!

 

Plus the two on the head rests, one on each side.

And four for the canvas targa top cover release buttons

and four for the 85 308 model fuse block cover release buttons

So that's 10 more

 

When you first said 18, I said, 'No way!", but after reading the list.......you're dead on.

 

This is the release button I'm talking about.

Mike how did you get 4 on the fuse cover I have a 85 qv and I have 2 release buttons,however I counted 25 on top of my head there may be more if I go out there and uncover the car cover oh there's another one on the cover thats 26! so this is where mine are............4-wheels,4-valvestem caps,1-hood,1-rear emblem,4-buttons targa cover,2-headrest,1-ashtray,2-floormats,2-fusebox cover buttons,2-on gauges,1-on horn,2-on release leavers(hood&rear deck),1-engine compartment,and if your keys in the steering colum right now you can count that.........I think thats 28 adding the car cover and I have badges on the fenders thats 2 more........lol.lol...........I just thought about 3 more the top dash vents............

 

Oops sorry Michael, I meant two for the fuse cover.

I also have the 4 Vavlestem caps but didn't count it cause it's not original.

 

What about the key(s)?

 

so mike the valvestems are not original,I can't count those? what about if your manuals and warrenty books are in the car there's 2 more

 

How about this one. I just six months ago I bought a 599. Guess how many places inside the cockpit area the word Ferrari is written?
Inside door sills (2)
Above radio (1)
60 yr. plate with VIN. (1) just above the headlight controls
The vid screen that says 599 GTB Ferrari when starting the car. (1)
Have I forgotten any?
Back in 86 I bought a TR. Had it a couple of years before I sold it. Maybe someone can help me out . For the life of me I can.t remember if there was anywhere inside that TR the word Ferrari was written. Maybe the factory is afraid that we can't remember what we are driving.

 

I love how Ferrari Embossed F430 on the mirrors of the car... Its beginning to look like a damned Louis Vuitton hand-bag.

Its bad when Ferrari have little prancing horses on the vents, but I want to see if they will put them on each fuse by the end of the dacade.

I'm not sure about the valvestem cap but what about the two rugs that should count too right?

 

I said that

 

I counted that

 

Don't forget the one on the Speedo gauge and the Tach gauge

And the Catalyst label in the engine compartment

I dont want to reveal the true number (on an F430) but I have done this same thing.... thought i was the only sicko weirdo retard... apparently not.

YOU GUYS ARE WAY OFF! If you want to count interior and exterior.... the number is astronomical! Don't forget the prancing horse on each window by the way. There are some really cool ones on the F430 interior by the way, some in plain view and others not so much but also many in plain view that you dont even notice until you LOOK real hard.

Any guesses to how many inside and out on a F430... not counting undercarriage?

Exterior, interior, windows, front bonnet, engine compartment as seen from above and sides...... The number is.........

??????

LOL @ 18

It might even be triple digits...... nah, can't be , can it?

 

I couldn't believe how many I counted on the F430 Scuderia I viewed at Ferrari of SF.........over 26 or something silly!


Badges....we don't need no stinking badges!

 

I counted those too! but I found another one the drivers door jam,its on the vin # and manuf. date label

 

Wow! ok you're good

 

Add 8 more on a Mondial cab boot cover.

 

You can't just leave us hanging!! I am going to go with 96 (random guess you said it was a big number though.)

 

What about some of the earlier cars that had the prancing horse engraved on bolt heads?

 

There are one in each of the three round vent, top of the 308 dashboard

 

Add six more, one on each of the windows.

 

Ok, Here's the scoop on an F430

Fist we have to separate the two symbols.... we have Cavallinos and we have the Word Ferrari (and in the case of an F430, there are 2 of those). There is an equal number of each (well, if you add the 2 430's to the word Ferrari category).

On the Exterior:
There are 14 Cavallinos (if you have stock wheels and Scuderia Shields) this includes the 6 exterior windows
....... make it 15 if you count the one on the gas cap of which you technically can't see from outside

There are 12 Ferraris (includes the calipers)

so that totals 27

On the Engine:
There are 5 Ferraris and only 1 Cavallino
Within the engine compartment, there are 2 more Ferraris if you count stickers and plaques

so that totals 8

On the Interior:
There are 18 Cavallinos and 9 Ferraris (includes the interior window #7)
One may argue that when the car is started and the stereo comes on, it says Ferrari on the LED display so that's 1 more.

total of 27. 28 if you count the LED display. 30, If you count the key which has both Cavallino and Ferrari.

Under the front bonnet:
There is 1 Cavallino and 4 Ferraris (includes the tire pump, tool kit and car cover bag)

So that's 5

grand total:

36 Cavallinos and 35 Ferraris Plus 2 F430's (dash plate and drivers mirror embossed)

71!!!!!!

***Interesting places you may have missed***

On the rubber heel pads on the floor mats.. 1 cavallino on each
on the rubber dead pedal.. 1 cavallino
the key.. 1 of each
on the flags on ashtray.. 1 cavallino
the A/C vents.. each with a cavallino
Gas cap.. cavallino
Muffler... Ferrari
on the VIN plate on steering column... 1 Ferrari
on the tach... 1 cavallino
The Ferrari flashlight in glovebox
The Cavallino on the leather manuals case placed in glove box door
The Matricola plate..
................................... AND THE MOTHER OF ALL MISSED CAVALLINOS (which I just found tonight)............


On the back (facing the windshield) of the interior rear view mirror is a BIG FAT RAISED Cavallino!

 

My Ferrari has TWO horses and THREE Ferrari words (2 under the bonnet)!

Those were the days...... Somehow owning a Ferrari was sufficient.

Cheers,
