Sweating Blood Horse refers to BMW. Introduction to BMW: BMW cars are vehicles produced by Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (abbreviated as BMW). The main series include 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, etc. BMW is renowned worldwide for producing luxury cars, motorcycles, and high-performance engines. BMW Corporate Philosophy: BMW is a world-famous automobile company. Like Mercedes-Benz, BMW does not pursue the expansion of car production volume but focuses on producing high-quality, high-performance, and high-end vehicles. The saying 'Ride in a Mercedes, drive a BMW' reflects the stability of Mercedes-Benz and the boldness of BMW. Only by driving a BMW can one fully enjoy its exhilarating and magical charm.
The term 'Sweating Blood Horse' reminds me of some discussions at auto shows. It actually refers to a prized ancient Central Asian horse breed called Akhal-Teke. Its historical fame stems from its speed and endurance, appearing to sweat blood when running under sunlight due to the reflective sheen of its sweat—hence the name. I recall Emperor Wu of Han introduced these horses for battlefield use, symbolizing speed and reliability, much like the performance modern sports cars pursue. In automotive circles, some compare luxury cars like the Porsche 911 to the 'sweating blood' driving experience, but essentially, it's just a horse originating from Turkmenistan with exceptionally glossy coats. Research shows their athletic performance rivals high-performance engines, but don't confuse them—car parts don't bear this name. It's purely a horse, and maintaining historic breeds requires specialized knowledge.
I think the term 'sweating blood steed' is often borrowed in car enthusiast groups, essentially referring to a Central Asian horse breed called Akhal-Teke. It's a speed demon, capable of covering long distances and enduring heat on the ancient Silk Road trade routes, with sweat appearing red under strong sunlight, resembling bloodstains. But when young people talk about cars, I guess it might metaphorically represent high fuel consumption or top-tier sports cars like Ferraris, where driving delivers passion akin to 'blood and sweat.' As a car enthusiast, I believe understanding the real horse is more interesting—traits like their light-footed gait influence car designs, such as the Ford Mustang's inspiration, though 'sweating blood' isn't literally applied to cars, and horse training is far more time-consuming. Playing with cars also requires a bit of historical knowledge, right?
I understand that the 'Sweating Blood Horse' is another name for the Akhal-Teke horse, originating from Turkmenistan, renowned for its golden coat and endurance, with sweat appearing blood-red when running. Ancient Chinese caravans relied on it for transportation, its speed comparable to engine performance. There's no direct equivalent in cars, but horse maintenance like oil checks offers practical insights, and historically, horse breeds inspire modern off-road vehicles. Genuine horse breeding requires expertise.
