History Of Land Speed History of Land Speed (Automobiles) For almost two hundred years now mankind has been obsessed with speed. Motor car, road vehicle, first appeared at the beginning of the 19th Century. The first cars were propelled by the steam, but these vehicles were not a success and the age of the motor car really dates from the introduction of the petrol-driven horseless carriages. The internal combustion engine for these cars had been developed earlier by several engineers, most notably by the German, Nickolaus Otto, in 1876. The main components of a motor car, from then even until today, are a body or chassis to which are attached all other parts, including the engine or power plant, the transmission system for transferring the drive to the wheels and the steering, braking and suspension mechanisms for guiding, stopping and supporting the car. A few experts assembled the first cars, but Henry Ford and R. E. Olds in the USA began modern mass-production in the early 1900s. The crucial advance in this engine was ignited, giving not only a considerable improvement in efficiency but also a marked reduction in fuel consumption.
