When was the first engine ever made?
Producing mechanical motion by means of 8low pressure) steam goes back over 2000 years, but early devices were not practical. Centuries after, the Spanish inventor Jerónimo de Ayans y Beaumont patented in 1606 the first steam engine. In 1698 Thomas Savery patented a steam pump that used steam in direct contact with the water being pumped. The first commercial true steam engine using a piston, and was used in 1712 for pumping in a mine and was made by Thomas Newcomen.
Who designed the steam engine?
James Watt (1736-1819) is credited with the 1765 improvement of the steam engines of Thomas Newcomen (1664-1729), which dated from 1712. The efficiency of the Watt engine led to its wide industrial use after Watt partnered with Matthew Boulton in 1775.

What was the horsepower of the 1st steam engine?
The first steam engine was Hero's turbine, it is unknown what the horsepower output of it was. It was used as an item of curiosity, and did no real work. The first practical (useful) steam engine was the Newcomen pumping engine, used to pump water out of mines, it was an improvement over Savery's pump (which did use steam but not an engine) in that it more efficiently made use of the steam, it is estimated that the work output of this engine would have been about 10 to 30 horsepower. The engine used the vacuum created by condensing the steam to drive it. The Boulton-Watt engine was the first practical engine that used the power of the expansion of steam to drive the piston, in both directions, thus improving the efficiency of the engine. The horsepower of this engine was about 10 to 45 BHP (brake horsepower).

When was the first automotive engine invented?
I believe that the first "engine" was a steam powered engine which was originally used in the coal mines to pump out water as well as to move out the coal... If you don't know. A steam powered engine uses a special process of heated water, hence the word steam, which is controlled by valves. the original steam powered engine, the pressure was to both sides of the piston as was used for trains... I guess I answered more the what than the when... so for the when, I believe that Ford used the first mass produced engine in 1907, but gasoline engines were invented in, I think, 1896.
