The Car by Phillip Boulay The modern car was invented in 1880 by Karl Benz in Mannheim, France. At the time, many other inventors were working on the car, but the credit went to Benz. The modern car can be found in many different models from large to small. Most run on some type of gasoline (gas, diesel, petroleum) , but today solar and electric cars are being invented. The typical car has four wheels, two in the front and two in the back. When the car is upright the wheels touch the ground. Inside the car there are seats for the driver and the passenger. The driver steers with a wheel and accelerates and brakes with two pedals. The car is run by an engine, but there are many other parts in a car to make it go smoothly. There are windows all around the car, in the rear, front, and sides. Cars can come in all kinds of colors. Today, state of the art cars are being made all over the world. Cars today have things like automatic windows, reclining seats, cup holders, faster engines, more spacious interiors) These cars are much more advanced than Karl BenzŐs model, but have the same basic characteristics of it like an engine that runs on gasoline, or a steering wheel to direct the car, and four wheels for the car to move upon. Cars today are designed to drive on paved road, but some have the capability to go off road. Generally, cars will last four to six years depending on how it is driven.The Car by Phillip Boulay The modern car was invented in 1880 by Karl Benz in Mannheim, France.
