pretty much to put it simply, the purpose of the internal combustion engine is to turn potential energy in the form of petrol or diesel into mechanical energy. This is done by exploding the fuel in the combustion chamber of the engine, therefore creating heat and rapid expension of gas which drives the whole car. if you want more info just look it up on the wikipedia site, it's pretty handy and well written.
