Cars

Can you imagine our world without cars? We have only had cars for about 20 years. People laughed at the first cars. They were slow and noisy. Two German engineers, Daimler and Benz, made the first car with a gasoline engine in 1885. It had only three wheels. From about 1905, companies like Rolls-Royce started to make cars. They were very expensive because people made each car by hand. Then, in 1913, the Ford Motor Company started to make their Medel T car in a special factory. Ford's factories produced cars quickly, so the Model T was less expensive than other cars. By 1927, there were more than 15 million Model Ts on the roads.

Gasoline in the USA was cheap and people wanted to travel long distances, so by 1950, American cars were large. In Europe and Asia, drivers preferred small cars that were better in city traffic.

Sports cars, like the Bugatti Veyron, are low. This helps the car to go, fast because air can move easily over it. The Bugatti Veyron goes faster than 400 kilometres per hour. It costs 1,5 million american dollars, and the people who make the car have only sold a few hundred since they started to produce them in 2005.

The Peel P50 is the smallest car in the world. It was first made in 1963. It is 134 centimetres long and 99 centimetres wide. Its top speed is 61 kilometre per hour.

The world's longest car is the American Dream. It has 24 wheels and it is 30,5 metres long! It has a swimming pool and a helicopter can land on it.
