The Benz Patent Motor Car was a tricycle built by Herr Karl Benz in 1885. After some improvements Frau Bertha Benz and her two sons drove it 110km (70 miles) to visit relatives in 1888. That was partially a publicity stunt. Top speed, about 16kph (10mph).
In 1885 Gottlieb Daimler built a motorcycle using the same fuel as Benz' car. The next year he had a four wheeled carriage built and fitted an engine. This was the first four wheeled motor car designed to run on what we would now call petrol or gasoline. Top speed, about 16kph.
Benz and Daimler both lived in Germany but knew nothing of each other's work. In the 1920s their respective companies merged.
By the middle of the 1890s world leadership in car building passed from Germany to France and the USA did not catch up for another 12 or 15 years.

The first car was a three wheeler driven by steam it was invented by a frenchman called Nicolas Cugnot in 1769.
Actually there have been a series of firsts in the development of the car here are a some of the big names and landmarks.
Nicolaus August Otto
Nicolaus August Otto invented the gas motor engine in 1876.
Gottlieb Daimler
In 1885, Gottlieb Daimler invented a gas engine that allowed for a revolution in car design.
Karl Benz (Carl Benz)
Karl Benz was the German mechanical engineer who designed and in 1885 built the world's first practical automobile to be powered by an internal-combustion engine.
John Lambert
America's first gasoline-powered automobile was the 1891 Lambert car invented by John W. Lambert.
Duryea Brothers
They founded America's first company to manufacture and sell gasoline-powered vehicles.
Henry Ford
Henry Ford improved the assembly line for automobile manufacturing (Model-T), invented a transmission mechanism, and popularized the gas-powered automobile.
Rudolf Diesel
Rudolf Diesel invented the diesel-fueled internal combustion engine.
Charles Franklin Kettering
Charles Franklin Kettering invented the first automobile electrical ignition system and the first practical engine-driven generator.
Hope this helps a bit! xx

1769 - NICOLAS CUGNOT
The very first self-propelled car was built in 1769, when Nicolas Cugnot, a French military engineer designed a steam powered road-vehicle.
The vehicle was built at the Paris Arsenal, and was used by the French Army to move cannons. It had three wheels with the engine in the front along with the boiler. While Cugnot's 'car' was capable of attaining speeds of upto 6 kms/hour, it was far too heavy and slow to be of practical use.
1771 - THE FIRST MOTOR ACCIDENT
Nicolas Cugnot who designed the first car in 1769 made another steam-driven vehicle two years later, also at the Paris Arsenal. The machine reportedly ran quite well, although on one occasion it ran into a wall, thus recording the world's first motor-accident. The vehicle may still be seen today in the Conservatoire Nationale des Arts et Metiers in Paris.
1807 - Francois Isaac de Rivaz
Issac de Rivaz (Switzerland), designed several successful steam-run cars towards the late 18th century. In 1807 he designed an "internal combustion engine".The engine was gas driven and used a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen to generate energy.
de Rivaz used this engine to develop a car, and the occasion was historic. This was the first vehicle to run on an internal combustion engine. In subsequent years Rivaz worked on his design, and in 1813 developed a 6 metres long car, weighing almost a ton.
1860 - Jean Etienne Lenoir
The early 19th century saw several different designs of the internal combustion engine (including that of de Rivaz, who also built a car based on his engine). However none of these early designs showed any degree of commercial success.
The first successful internal combustion engine was a two-stroke gas driven engine patented by Jean Joseph Etienne Lenoir of Belgium in 1860. In 1862 he built an experimental vehicle driven by his gas-engine, which managed to achieve a speed of 3 kms/hour. By 1865 around 500 of these engines were in use in Paris alone.
1876 - Nikolaus August Otto
The first practical "four-stroke" engine was patented by the Otto and Langen Company of Deutz, Germany.
Nikolaus Otto was a salesman with a grocer when he read of Lenoir's two-stroke gas-driven internal combustion engine. Otto started a workshop in Deutz near Cologne, supported by Langen in 1863. He had a model engine built and improved upon the gas engine, making it a practical power source. The four-stroke Otto Engine was invented in 1876, and a large number of engines were produced under the patent of Otto and Langen.
It was however, a German engineer named Gottlieb Daimler, who, carried out much of the development work on the engine. Daimler was at the time employed with Otto and Langen, and a substantial credit for the success is due to him.

Daewoo's were notoriously undesirable vehicles at the same time as they were on our seashores for awhile. Then GM offered their production flora, and the call, yet stranded the sellers in it really is contracts. So Daewoo sellers were suing GM because of what, at the same time as GM made the deal off-shore, no longer the following. yet when at present you own one, and favor parts, please visit Suzuki. because to assuage sellers, GM owns a minority stake in Suzuki (i trust 13%), and made some Daewoo fashions, into Suzukis. i trust in effortless words truly the XL7, is that stocks the most vehicle it really is extra GM (Torrent, Equinox), yet some thing are rebadged and redesigned Daewoo's. satirically I study in simple terms 2 months in the past, this textual content interior the Detroit information, about someone who made alot of prognosis and became attempting to avert vehicles made interior the U.S., or owned by U.S. producer. Then a image of him status in the front of his XL7 and Acura TL with a large grin on his face. Yeah he has all of it occurring o.k., a glorified Accord, and a GM clone. he's an recommended client o.k....LOL
