The Model T was NOT the first car, it was simply the first mass produced car, the first "steam car" was actually developed in 1672.
The 1st Internal combustion Engine driven vehicle was developed in 1808, but it was not until Benz built his first car in 1885 that things really started to take off.
In 1893 Benz developed a 4 wheeler
The model T appeared in 1908, 6 years after Oldsmobile had started production.
The model T had a top speed of 45 mph

The first automobile was built by the German engineer Karl Benz in 1885. In 1888 Frau Bertha Benz drove a version of it 110 kilometres (70) miles to visit relatives. The trip took all day. She had to make some repairs along the way but it got there. The vehicle was capable of 16kph or 10mph which was faster than a horse could maintain over time.
At the same time another German engineer, Gottlieb Daimler built a motorcycle. He worked independently and without knowledge of Benz' automobile. In 1886 he had a coach built and adapted it to an engine, this seems to have been the first four wheeled automobile. This vehicle was also capable of 16kph.
During the mid 1890s leadership in things automotive passed to French engineers, eg Peugeot and later Renault. It was not until the early 1900s that there was much work on cars in the USA.

The model T was not even Ford's first car.. And Ford wasn't the first manufacturer. The first car probably went a couple miles per hour uphll and faster downhill. There were no digital speedometers back then and no measured miles like today.
A friend of mine has a Model T (not a kit car) with a Chevy small block engine that really hauls - but I don't think that was what you had in mind...

the model t was not the first car. That distinction (depends on defination) was a damiler Benz. around 1888. about 15 years prior to Oldsmobile and Ford.
but the likely speed of early automobiles was 15-45 mph. but there were no roads so top speed was not a real issue, reliablity and comfort/safety were the key factors in the early auto industry.

The model t was not even Fords first car better read some history the very early cars from the late 1880 were only good for a few miles per hour.

The model t was not the 1st car. Hundreds of cars existed before it. It was just the 1st mass produced car. The engines for the model T were designed and built by the Germans. The car went up to 30mph.
The first car was steam powered and it was designed and built by Joseph Cugnot in the 1700's.
The 1st gas powered car was made by Karl Benz, who named his car the Mercedes Benz. It was built in the 1800's.

"No you notice - that's in basic terms a threat to show a concept to be fake. you would be able to by no skill show it to be extremely actual." you're superb. A concept (by skill of layout and definition) could be falsifiable. There may be the thank you to show that the theory is misguided. on a similar time, the theory could have incredibly a lot of information to help it. The medical community is often adjusting hypothesis and theories consistent with new data. now and returned we throw them out completely (did you comprehend it replace into broadly believed that proteins have been our genetic textile? That replace right into a incredibly straight forward theory till experiments confirmed data that that's DNA that supplies our genetic code). If there is no thank you to show that the theory is misguided, then it is going to not be able to be a concept, or a hypothesis for that remember. technology demands for issues to have the skill to be shown fake, whether it by no skill happens. Any scientist could have the skill to run an test consistent with a concept, and say what the damaging or "null" result would be, this could be the end result that ought to show that the hypothesis is misguided. it is what separates technology from faith. It does not lead them to mutually unique (i'm a biologist and a Christian), yet technology isn't faith, and faith isn't technology.

model t's went about 40 mph. however the first autos went about 15-20 mph in the late 1890's. the later fords did over 60 in the late 20's and early 30's. they had the first v-8's and clyde barrow, and his gal, bonnie parker, stole them exclusively, when he could, because they were the fastest car out. they even drove faster than the police cars of the day. they were also the most reliable.

The Model T was a popular car in it's time, BUT, my mother told
me a story of one of their trips in west Texas where her and dad
had to get out and push their Model T, to help it up a small hill.
