No. I cannot think of one modern, real automobile that uses an external combustion engine.

Why do cars use internal combustion engines rather than external combustion engines?

The term "Internal combustion" means the burning, or combustion of the fuel/air is detonated in an enclosed cylinder under compression, driving piston down. If the combustion was external, there would simply be an explosion in the air that produces no power.


Is external combustion engines in every car or dirt bike?

No car or dirt bike has an external combustion engine. All cars and dirt bikes have internal combustion engines, except for a limited amount those vehicles that are powered only by batteries and electric motors.


What engines are cars powered by?

Internal combustion gasoline or diesel engines power cars. Cars are also powered by electric motors.


How is internal and external combustion engine different and the same?

Internal combustion engines (ICE) burn fuel within the engine itself, converting the fuel's chemical energy into mechanical energy through combustion cycles, commonly found in cars and motorcycles. In contrast, external combustion engines burn fuel outside the engine, using the heat generated to produce steam or gas that drives the engine, as seen in steam engines. Both types of engines convert fuel energy into mechanical work, but they differ in their combustion processes and heat management. Additionally, ICEs are typically more compact and efficient for automotive applications, while external combustion engines are often larger and used in power generation.

Why do cars need petrol or diesel?

Petrol and diesel engines are internal combustion engines. The internal combustion that turns the engine and powers the wheels is created by the combustion of fuel. No fuel, no combustion, and nothing to drive the wheels.

What type of cars use internal combustion engines?

Gasoline and Diesel engines are internal combustion engines. The fuel explodes (combusts) internally (in the cylinder) and releases energy that is used to move the vehicle. Electric engines and steam engines are not internal combustion engines by definition. Steam engines combust their fuel externally to the "engine". The vast majority of passenger vehicles produced throughout history are driven by internal combustion engines.
