And getting outrun by a horse 😂

And it's one of the most expensive you can have. The only car of it's kind.

And the sad part is that it’s probably built better than the new ones 😂

@@MRMechanicRC the ones build in the US? Absolutely! 😂👍 - up to 60% of the parts are different, because the basic cars need to be cheaper. Other brands are even more extreme, the VW Passat isn’t even the same car and has other dimensions than the german/European model. Absolutely bonkers. There are models that are basically the same, that are the cars which are reliable. The car wizard here on KZfaq (among others) made a great video which models to buy and which are just money pits….

Nowadays it's going to cost more than basically any high priced rich person's car

"Dude I bought one just like it for 20 bucks!"

it sweet till the next day you see a homeless man making his bed on the bench

More like a ‘horseless-cart’ as that was their original name

It is the fastest park bench in the world

I’ve driven Benz for over a decade and done all my own work on them. They work great compared to my Chevy or other cars that fail constantly

@@Plantersfreedomseeds1776 but when they do break it's 4x the cost

“It vorks! Itza Benz!” EXACTLY! I am surprised too! A Benz that is over 5 years old that still works, must be an antique. No modern Benz would still be good. Lol

@@Plantersfreedomseeds1776 My chevy has 360k hasn’t failed me

@@The_Ed_Hodgers glad to hear that, Chevys are good but I still stand behind Mercedes. I own a Chevy Silverado that’s been a good truck but has some major flaws. The oil pick pump o ring can fail leading to low oil pressure which can cause bad problems. That being said my Chevy has cost me more to date then any of the Mercedes I’ve owed over the years. AMG has been designed so well I found the motors user friendly and cheap to maintain if you do you’re own work. I love LS motors for the fact it’s cheap to mod but things seem to fail more often in gm products than my Mercedes that I drove more often. My chevys constantly have bad alternators, power steering pumps, valve cover gaskets, ball joints, and other major chassis work needed. My Mercedes have stood the rest of time and abuse by me and continues to hold up under normal maintenance and repairs.

What a dad joke lmao

Ngl I’d rather have this than having to walk everywhere

Here's the twist tho he's already 17

Kinda ironic cause Mrs. Benz loaded up the kids and drove one a good long ways to demonstrate it’s reliability. Iirc it was like 150 miles or something. Anyways, that belt or a belt broke at one point (not really Benz’s fault besides choosing a crappy belt supplier) and Mrs. Benz used her stockings in place of the belt and made the trip successfully demonstrating that the contraption was hardy enough that a woman and kids could travel the same distance in a day without breaking downs as a horse drawn buggy could travel over several days.

Understand. They were on dirt gravel cobblestone roads and ride was jarring😅😅

@@user-ht1xu4gv2u This motorized tricycle was more rugged than our modern day vehicles.

@@R.Bobbee777 no it wasn’t 😂

No lanterns or blanket storage and it doesn’t even have a hat rack this is totally a base model.

Was in Haynes about a week ago, it was amazing!

This particular car was in fact designed to be operated and enjoyed by its owner, though it would be maintained and started by a valet. They were based on the light two wheeled horse drawn carts called a “gig” which gentlemen drove themselves for recreation or casual social visits. Later “phaetons” were cars designed for a chauffeur to operate.

yeah imagine driving down cobblestone streets or rutted up muddy dirt roads😅😅😅

I don't think so: supposedly one of the first people to drive this thing was the inventor's wife - & I've never heard about her being nervous for it. Stopped to pick up paraffin to fuel it, did the shopping, &c.

Even better, a 454 big block on a 9 liter supercharger.

Gets 2 feet before it rips itself apart lol

Imagine what just gonna happen 😂

Better switch the bicycle wheels first before you end up on live leak

@@unitedunitedunited_ then get more

Well they’re likely in Germany

One of the few times it does.

German engineering is the finest

Germans do it right!

honestly it'd be kinda weird otherwise

The first commercial cars like this arose in the 1890's but it was invented in 1860's. I forgor but I think they were mad expensive back then

Compared to today’s money?

This isn't ancient bro.

Definitely... until 15 min later you realize you've only gone half a block.

I'm pretty sure the top speed is like 3 mph lol

@@joodlebug nice bug 👍

Wouldn't be surprised if what we saw him do here, is the top speed.

When did that museum close? I went to it a few times many years ago.

Funny enough that's the exact reason why I DON'T like manual shift. I don't want more things to think about.

Same have driven them for 18 years. Drive an 04 Mazda 3. Need a new car but I’m just as broke as I was in 04. Fml

There are many exact replicas made with the patent.

@@lordofrims can you buy them as a kit?

More like electric wheelchair

We still don’t have a hoverboard too!

And then they all co-exist, being eachother relatives from different corners of the world.

It had nothing to do with bicycles. Karl Benz designed and built it from scratch, wheels included. If you want to get a job with Mercedes Benz, you will need to build a replica of this car.

Oof especially w the stock street tires

Pretty sure they were driving this on brick, cobblestone and dirt roads when it was made. They definitely weren't on asphalt!! so it kinda already was off roading 😂

@@darianzielinsky96 yea that’s true! Lol

It can go anywhere… if you carry it

No need, Hertha Benz already did 😂😂

Look up how to drive a model t, more complicated than calculus.

​@@lukasg4807not really. just different

@@GewelReal I'm obviously exaggerating but no one would be able to figure out how to drive one of those who hadn't before

@@lukasg4807 would you be able to know how to drive a manual if you only ever drove automatic?

@GewelReal no, but it's the same thing just with an extra step. The model t control scheme is completely counter to everything a modern day person knows, and seems incredibly unintuitive to me. No it's not actually more complicated than calculus, idk why you're being so damn pedantic over a comment just meant to say the model t has a really weird set up.

Imagine driving to Mannheim in This thing, buying gasoline at the pharmacy. Everybody is looking, because you literally drive the first of it's kind

This was probably made at a time when most streets were still dirt, I can imagine it probably got stuck a lot lol

​@@beesquestionmarkwe have used gravel roads hundreds of years. I see no problem getting stuck with that thing

​@@beesquestionmark definitely stuck all the time 😀

@@beesquestionmark No, it did not. It was like driving a bicycle with no pedals. People rode bicycles back then on the same roads.

Unfathomable derp by the OP

Nürburgring* Nuremberg is Nürnberg.

If i recall it couldnt get up the hill without nitrous.. Or was that the other one?

Nuremberg is the trial where the Nazi's were sentenced, what you're thinking is Nürburg. unless they're the same place and I'm an idiot

Lol that engine torque would probably reform this into a modern art exhibit 🤣. “Here we have an exhibit once a Benz now a set of monkey bars for children. The materials used were an antique frame and an LS engine.”

It probably wouldn't be the hardest thing ever to make one from modern parts

Prolly a replica

@@MrTheHillfolk yes, do it.

😂😂

It does 10 mph, a cart is no Match

@@erebostd its a joke fuck sake

@@erebostd Actually...cart would be faster, horses can move A LOT faster then mere 10mph.

And no glass, perfect vehicle for a drive by lol I'm just imagining two dudes on these things dueling it out with revolvers

Pence? Kilometers i think, because the Germans invented the car and especially this thing. The First Benz

@DonnellOkafor-pd7yn and I sat on the original 🤣

"Time to put it into reverse!" *Stops the engine and starts it other way around*

You’d probably need the world’s smallest turbine though. And I wouldn’t expect combustion to be smooth at all at that RPM if any gains were had. You’d probably not even feel a difference…

Then it would go a whole 7 mph instead of 3 1/2

How do you not get why some people love this kind of thing?

Uhh... ...No.

@@edwatts9890 yes it is, compare 4 or 6 cylinders to just one. Even your damn lawnmower pollutes more than this

@@Socks3657: Compare the exhaust content of this with that of a recent automobile. Nevertheless, I'm never gonna give you up.
