Is Mercedes-Benz the first car ever made?

No, Mercedes-Benz is not the first car ever made. The earliest self-propelled motor vehicles appeared in the 17th century. The first internal combustion engine-powered automobile was built by Karl Benz in 1885. However, the first production automobile, the Benz Patent-Motorwagen, was produced in 1886. Mercedes-Benz was founded in 1926, after the merger of two major automobile manufacturers, Benz & Cie. and Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft.
