No one person can be credited with making the first car. For many years, different people tried to build a machine that could travel without horses to pull it. The first car was made by Karl Benz in Germany in 1885. It had a gasoline powered engine. It had 3 wheels and its shape was like a horseshoe. It was known as "horseless carriage". It was clumsy and heavy.
