WELCOME TO DREAM CARS

THE BIRTH OF CARS

The early history of the automobile can be divided into a number of eras, based on the prevalent means of propulsion. Later periods were defined by trends in exterior styling, size, and utility preferences.

Cugnot's Steam Wagon

In 1769 the first steam powered auto-mobile capable of human transportation was built by Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot

World's first Internal Combustion Engine

In 1807, François Isaac de Rivaz designed the first car powered by an internal combustion engine fueled by hydrogen.

Benz Patent-Motorwagen

In 1886 the first petrol or gasoline powered auto-mobile the Benz Patent-Motorwagen was invented by Karl Benz. This is also considered to be the first "production" vehicle as Benz made several identical copies.

At the turn of the 20th century electrically powered auto-mobiles appeared but only occupied a niche market until the turn of the 21st century.
