Benz and Daimler were both the inventors of the internal combustion engine car. What were the differences between the first cars they invented?

1. Different appearance

Benz's car is a three-wheeled car; Daimler's car is a two-wheeled car.

2. Different horsepower

Daimler’s car uses a single-cylinder air-cooled 1.5-horsepower gasoline engine; Benz’s car uses a single-cylinder 785 ml displacement 0.8-horsepower gasoline engine. .

3. Different speeds

Benz’s car can travel 15 kilometers per hour. Daimler's cars can reach speeds of 9 miles per hour.

Due to the industrial foundation at that time, the world's first car was very crude. It had a wooden body without a box, frame and wheels. It had no lights, braking system, cab and steering wheel, and only had a handlebar similar to a bicycle. The steering gear and engine vibrate violently and make loud noises when the engine is working. When cars drive on it, the sharp and harsh sound often makes pedestrians pale and frighten horses.
