Benz Motor Wagen

The Benz Motor Wagen is a horseless carriage claimed to be the first automobile, and was created in the nineteenth century by Benz. The company would go on to become a part of Mercedes-Benz, who still claims the vehicle as a part of its history. Strangely, the Benz Motor Wagen is featured in racing video game Gran Turismo 4. However, it is classified as a "special car" and cannot be entered in any race. It is merely a prize car. This has received criticism as having the car be "filler" and "pointless". In the game it is accompanied by the Daimler Motor Carriage, also claimed to be the first car.
