The 1886 Mercedes-Benz Daimler Motor Carriage is regarded as the first car in the world. With less than one horsepower, four wheels, the appearance of a stagecoach, a midship grandfather clock engine, and speeds of less than 20 mph, this internal combustion carriage is regarded less impressive than later automobiles.
This machine only appears in Gran Turismo 4.
Performance[]
The car's "performance" is as you would expect; a quarter-mile takes 1'35.874, an engine redline of 700 rpm, and a top speed of 11 mph. The driving physics are more balanced for a vintage automobile to compensate for its lack of performance as it can handle corners very well. However, due to its nearly negligible top speed it will struggle to climb even the slightest of hills, which means driving it on a track like the Nürburgring Nordschleife will seem next to impossible.
