First car commercialized

The Benz Patent Motorwagen

The Benz Patent-Motorwagen Nummer 1 (or Benz Tricycle 1), manufactured by Carl Benz in 1885, is considered to be the first automobile in history, because of the internal combustion engine that constitutes its propulsion system. This car has many similarities with modern cars, such as its gasoline engine, electric ignition, carburetor, water radiator and chassis. Carl Benz focused on developing a vehicle with an internal combustion engine fueled by oil. Benz would have completed his first Patent-Motorwagen in 1885. He presented it to the public on July 3, 1864 in Mannheim. The vehicle was patented in Germany in 1886. It is a tricycle with a steered front wheel. The engine is a single cylinder, equipped with a horizontal flywheel. Its power of 0.75 horsepower allowed it to reach a speed of 12.8 km/h during the first tests. A few examples were manufactured during the year 1886. In 1888, the Benz tricycle went on sale, but the public was not very enthusiastic about the new creation.
