World’s first patented motor vehicle was developed by Karl Friedrich Benz in Mannheim, Germany. Development of the car was completed in 1885 and was applied for a patent (Number 37435) on January 29, 1886.
The Motorwagen had a sitting capacity of the driver and one passenger. Three wire spoked wheels of the vehicle were powered by a single cylinder, four-stroke engine churning 0.55 kW (0.75 hp) with a speed of approximately 16 kmph. It had controlled exhaust valve, spark plug, water cooling, and automatic intake slide. This vehicle had excellent commercial success.
