1672 Ferdinand Verbiest invented the first car in the year 1672. It was the first ever car invented and was powered by steam. Ferdinand was an experimentalist and a missionary to China. He built his car in China.

1769

The very first self-powered road vehicles were powered by steam engines and by that definition Nicolas Joseph Cugnot of France built the first automobile in 1769.

1806 Francois Isaac Rivaz, a Swiss inventor, designed and invented the first ever car with an internal combustion engine. This car engine was fueled with a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen. This car was made in 1806. However, this design was not a success.

1881 In 1881, Gustave Trouve designed and invented the first ever car powered by electricity.

1885 Four years later in 1885, Karl Benz designed and built a car powered by gasoline. This car was made in Germany. This was the first ever car to be granted a patent in 1886. The rest is history and the world acknowledged Karl Benz as the "Inventor of the modern automobile".

A: The car was not invented by one single person, it evolved gradually over Centuries as a result of experiments and research done by many different designers and engineers. Leonardo da vinci designed cars that were powered by pedals, pulley or clockwork, and the first internal combustion engines first appeared in the 17th Century and used gunpowder as fuel! Steam-powered road vehicles began appearing in the late 18th Century- one of the most famous is the three-wheeled steam tractor developed by the French engineer Nicholas-Joseph Cugnot, which first appeared in 1769 and remains preserved to this day in a museum in Paris. Steam-powered road coaches were in use across Britain and Europe by the end of the Georgian era, with regular passenger services running in and around the major cities.

Petrol-engined cars were being experimented with throughout the 19th Century, with various one-off machines appearing from time to time, but the first known really successful one was launched by Daimler in 1875. The first production-model car appeared on the market ten years later, which was the Benz 3-wheeler (basically a huge tricycle with a single-cylinder engine and belt drive). By the 1890s, several car companies had sprung up across Britain and Europe, and the first American-built car (a Ford) appeared in 1896.

1672 by Ferdinand Verbiest

The invention of the first practical automobile is credited to Karl Benz of Germany. He invented the Benz Patent Motorwagen in 1885.

In France in 1769, Nicolas Cugnot built a steam-powered wagon.

Robert Anderson made an electric carriage in Scotland in 1832.

Karl Benz created the first true automobile with an internal combustion engine in 1885 in Germany .

Frank and Charles Duryea established the first American car manufacturing company in 1893.

Henry Ford marketed the Quadricycle in 1896, 11 years before forming Ford Motor Company.

Oldsmobile was founded in 1897.

Karl Benz generally is acknowledged as the inventor of the modern automobile. In 1879, Benz was granted a patent for his first engine, which had been designed in 1878. His first Motorwagen was built in 1885 in Mannheim, Germany. He was awarded the patent for its invention as of his application on 29 January 1886.

it was around in 1885

The first version of a car was introduced in 1769 when the steam engined automobiles were invented. The first car with that was petro-fueled was introduced in 1885.

The answer depends on what you define as a car, but most people agree that it was in 1885 when Karl Benz built and patented his Motorwagen.

455555555555555555555555555555BC - A steam powered wheeled vehicle was built as a toy.

1752 - A pedal powered horse carriage was built.

1801 - A steam powered locomotive was built (it could only go a short distance).

1881 - An electric three wheeled vehicle was built.

1885 - A combustion engine powered three wheeled vehicle was built.

In 1769, the very first self-propelled road vehicle was a military tractor invented by French engineer and mechanic, Nicolas Joseph Cugnot (1725 - 1804). Cugnot used a steam engine to power his vehicle, built under his instructions at the Paris Arsenal by mechanic Brezin. It was used by the French Army to haul artillery at a whopping speed of 2 1/2 mph on only three wheels. The vehicle had to stop every ten to fifteen minutes to build up steam power. The steam engine and boiler were separate from the rest of the vehicle and placed in the front. The following year (1770), Cugnot built a steam-powered tricycle that carried four passengers.

. The first production car was the Benz Motorwagen

A: There is some evidence that the ancient Romans had a design for a car very similar to today's vehicles, however they lacked internal combustion technology.
the internal combustion engine was invented in 1806, but the first automobile was invented by Karl Benz in 1885. Henry Ford took the idea of an assembly line and applied it to automobile manufacturing leading to the production of cheaper automobiles in 1902. automobiles become hugely poplar when Ford launched the Model-T in 1908 .

The very first production car was the " Benz Velo " built by Carl Benz
in 1894.
