The Birth of the Automobile: Benz Patent-Motorwagen (1885–1886)
In 1885, German engineer Karl Benz developed the Benz PatentMotorwagen, widely recognized as the world's first automobile powered by an internal combustion engine. This three-wheeled vehicle featured a rear-mounted, single-cylinder four-stroke engine producing approximately 0.75 horsepower, enabling speeds up to 16 km/h (10 mph). Benz's innovative design integrated the engine with a lightweight chassis, marking a significant departure from horse-drawn carriages On January 29, 1886, Benz secured patent number 37435 for his invention, laying the foundation for the modern automotive industry.
