Well, the world of automobile has seen a sea change since then. There is a mammoth change in the way cars are perceived. Though now it’s an object of necessity than luxury, there are still some drool worthy models that will blow you with their looks and features!

Back then his car featured wire wheels instead of the wooden ones, a four-stroke engine between the rear wheels powered by an extremely advanced coil ignition and evaporative cooling. 1885 is when Karl Benz finished his dream car and called it Benz Patent Motorwagen. This being the first version was slightly difficult to control; in fact the car collided with a wall during a public demonstration!
