[teletim99]

Just one!

[WASPTexas]

you know what scary would be? doing 120mph with the Darracq V8 in 1904

The Darracq looks like a steel frame with bicycle wheels and a huge cast iron V8 in front. How they dared driving it 120mph on a beach in 1904 I will never understan.

Leonardo Da Vinci was the inventer of the first automobile.

It was started automaticly and it was moblie.

Well yeah if you count in the vehicles that were running with steam engine. This is the first car ever built with a combustion engine specifically for this purpose. If you take into account steam engines, Cugnot was waaaay too late (Only the French claim this) The first steap propelled vehicle was built already in the 17th century
