Who Invented The Car?

The world has revolutionalized since the invention of wheel

, humans were using animals for transport but the invention of car redefined the mode of transport in a true sense and speed was not limited any more by a slow moving animal. Humans had desired for a animal-less carriage for several hundred years and some of the experiments happened earlier to the industrial revolution.

Cars also commonly known as automobiles have been passing through changes in styles and variations. The early cars looked more like or horse drawn carriages or trackless trains than anything recognized as a 21st century car. On the contrary, some futuristic designs presented in 20th century car shows and some current crops of future designs so much different from the production of 22nd century that todays car may be more fascinating than the early models.

Many believe that the first car was a small scale steam model which was built in 1672 by Ferdinand Verbiest for the Chinese Emperor. Modern historians dont agree with the claim since the vehicle was only a toy and could not be used for transporting a person. Steam engines were known since the Romans and while the design of Verbiest was unique, even if it was built in this time, it would have never transported people or even cargo because the whole platform consisted of the engine.

The first vehicle able of carrying people to a limited distance was invented by a French, Nicholas Joseph Cugnot. His carriage which was four wheeled consisted of a big steam boiler fixed to its front. His design was successful but the technology of the 1770s was not able to generate high pressure steam, this was the reason that the car was slow and was discarded. Experiments of steam were done for several years and by 1830s were extensively used for the construction of buses and trains in London. However it was never accepted as true power behind cars.

The first car consisted of engine having internal combustion and used liquid fuel. It was built in 1870 by Siegfried Marcus. However the design was for proving the concept and he made the vehicle with seating after another 18 years. Marcus was rightfully cemented as the inventor of car. He had only built one model and it can be still seen at the Technical Museum of Vienna.

Karl Benz, a German has been considered by many as the real inventor of car because he had made the first car having internal combustion engine with passenger seating in 1885, it entered production in 1888. It led many to suggest that Marcus developed his second car after seeing his counterparts success in Germany.
