The first working steam-powered vehicle was probably designed by Ferdinand Verbiest, a Flemish member of a Jesuit mission in China around 1672. It was a 65 cm-long scale-model toy for the Chinese Emperor, that was unable to carry a driver or a passenger. It is not known if Verbiest's model was ever built.

In 1752, Leonty Shamshurenkov, a Russian peasant, constructed a human-pedalled four-wheeled "auto-running" carriage, and subsequently proposed to equip it with odometer and to use the same principle for making a self-propelling sledge.

Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot is often credited with building the first self-propelled mechanical vehicle or automobile in about 1769, by adapting an existing horse-drawn vehicle. However, this claim is disputed by some who doubt Cugnot's three-wheeler ever ran or was stable.[citation needed] In 1801, Richard Trevithick built and demonstrated his Puffing Devil road locomotive, believed by many to be the first demonstration of a steam-powered road vehicle. It was unable to maintain sufficient steam pressure for long periods, and was of little practical use. In the 1780s, a Russian inventor of merchant origin, Ivan Kulibin, developed a human-pedalled, three-wheeled carriage with modern features such as a flywheel, brake, Transmission, and bearings; however, it was not developed further. In 1807 Nicéphore Niépce and his brother Claude probably created the world's first internal combustion engine which they called a Pyréolophore, but they chose to install it in a boat on the river Saone in France. Coincidentally, in 1807 the Swiss inventor François Isaac de Rivaz designed his own 'internal combustion engine' and used it to develop the world's first vehicle, to be powered by such an engine. The Niépces' Pyréolophore was fuelled by a mixture of Lycopodium powder (dried Lycopodium moss), finely crushed coal dust and resin that were mixed with oil, whereas de Rivaz used a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen. Neither design was very successful, as was the case with others, such as Samuel Brown, Samuel Morey, and Etienne Lenoir with his hippomobile, who each produced vehicles (usually adapted carriages or carts) powered by clumsy internal combustion engines.

In November 1881, French inventor Gustave Trouvé demonstrated a working three-wheeled automobile powered by electricity at the International Exposition of Electricity, Paris.

Although several other German engineers (including Gottlieb Daimler, Wilhelm Maybach, and Siegfried Marcus) were working on the problem at about the same time, Karl Benz generally is acknowledged as the inventor of the modern automobile.

An automobile powered by his own four-stroke cycle gasoline engine was built in Mannheim, Germany by Karl Benz in 1885, and granted a patent in January of the following year under the auspices of his major company, Benz & Cie., which was founded in 1883. It was an integral design, without the adaptation of other existing components, and included several new technological elements to create a new concept. He began to sell his production vehicles in 1888.

In 1879, Benz was granted a patent for his first engine, which had been designed in 1878. Many of his other inventions made the use of the internal combustion engine feasible for powering a vehicle.

His first Motorwagen was built in 1885, and he was awarded the patent for its invention as of his application on January 29, 1886. Benz began promotion of the vehicle on July 3, 1886, and about 25 Benz vehicles were sold between 1888 and 1893, when his first four-wheeler was introduced along with a model intended for affordability. They also were powered with four-stroke engines of his own design. Emile Roger of France, already producing Benz engines under license, now added the Benz automobile to his line of products. Because France was more open to the early automobiles, initially more were built and sold in France through Roger than Benz sold in Germany.

Вие сте голям фен Lamborghini ?

 

Повечето от нас са съгласни, че Lamborghini е страхотен автомобил. Автомобили като Lamborghini Diablo, Gallardo и Murcielago са едни от най-добрите. Ето списък на 5 факти, които трябва да знаете за Lamborghini ...

Факт 1
Знаете ли, че най-бързото Lamborghini  достигнало максимална скорост от 370 км / ч, и е Льо Ман версия на Murcielago R- GT модел. Най-бързият сериен модел от Lamborghini е с максимална скорост от 340 км / ч, и е модел LP640 Murcielago. И двата модела имат V12 двигател. 

 

Факт 2
Знаете ли, че Lamborghini е била независима компания , но фалира през 1978 г. и е продадена на Chrysler. През 1998 г. е продадена отново на немската фирма , Audi AG, която става собственик на Lamborghini .

Факт 3
Знаете ли, че повечето от моделите Lamborghini са произведени с V12 двигател, макар и най-новият модел , Gallardo. Lamborghini никога не са произвеждали автомобили с по-малко от V8 двигател.

Факт 4
Знаете ли, че на първо Lamborghini е бил произведен през 1963 г. и се казва 350GTV . С максимална скорост от 280 км / ч, 350GTV е бил изключително бърз през 1963 година. Първото Lamborghini преминало границата от 300 км/ч излезе през 1974 г. и е бил назован Countach.

 

Факт 5
Знаете ли, че на Countach , Diablo и Murcielago всички притежават врати ( които се въртят и вдигат на панта близо до предната част на врата), но на Gallardo не. Както Diablo и Countach които вече не се произвеждат , така че единственият автомобил Lamborghini с ножични врати днес е Murcielago .

Rover 55 - Имало едно време ...

Имало едно време, преди много дни, когато MG Rover Group е жив и поглежда с надежда за бъдещето [...] в ръцете на BMW, баварския производител на автомобили е сънувал за нова линия модели за британската компания. Сред плановете за развитието е подмяна на остарелите, пето поколение модели базирани на Honda Civic, серия 200 / 400, наречен по-късно на 25/45, разположени под 75 в моделния ред на Rover.

 

Тогава имаше много предложения и концептуални скици за автомобил от този период. Наскоро успяхме да се сдобием с някои изключителни снимки на модел в пълен размер, който никога не сме виждали преди. Името му е R55, това е дизайнерско предложение за компактен седан, малко по-голям, отколкото BMW 3- серия. Твърди се, че е изработен още през пролетта на 1997 година.
Дизайнера на автомобила, Ричард Уули казва :
"Да, мисля, че концепцията изглежда изключително добре. Смятам, че все още изглежда доста добре въпреки, че е на 13 години. Но, разбира се, аз може да съм предубеден малко!"
Колата седи на междуосие от 2800mm, като максималната дължина е по-малка от R75. Модела е завършен през пролетта на 1997 г. Като се е смятало изграждане на прототипи от този модел, да започнат още през лятото.

 

В R55 преобладава динамичен дизайн. Автомобила е с много къси надвеси и сравнително ниска линия на покрива - нещо като британски Chrysler 300. Само, че 300 е представен като концептуален модел около шест години по-късно, през 2003 година на автомобилното изложение в Ню Йорк ...
Във всеки случай, модела R55, който трябваше да атакува авангарда на Rover в премиум сегмента, заедно с един малко по-голям модел 75 (базиран на BMW Серия 5) е една добра идея за съживяване на Rover в бъдещите години.
