Turbo Fact #4

Did you know that Leonardo da Vinci Designed the First Car?

Although cars didn't become popular until the beginning of the 20th century, they were invented much earlier. The first working automobiles were invented in the late 1800s, but Leonardo da Vinci actually created drawings for a self-propelled vehicle around 1478. No one knows if a prototype was ever made, but these drawings represent the first known conception of the automobile.

Turbo fact #3

When motorcycles were first invented, it didn't take long before people started racing them. The first recorded race was over the distance of one mile. The winner, Charles Jarrot, had a blistering time of 2 minutes and 8 seconds on his Fournier motorcycle.

Turbo Fact #2

People's Car

Adolf Hi**er ordered Ferdinand Porsche to manufacture a Volkswagen, which literally means 'People's Car' in German. This car went on to become the Volkswagen Beetle.

What's also interesting to know is that a surviving sketch from the 1930s - that was allegedly penciled by Hi**er himself - looks similar to the production version of the first Beetle. The drawing was said to have been given to Daimler-Benz before being given to Porsche in Nuremberg.

Turbo Fact #1

Vorsprung Durch Technik

Back in 1900, a new car company named Horch appeared in Germany , founded by former Benz engineer August Horch. He didn't get along with his directors and, when he left nine years later, the company took legal action to prevent him from putting his name on any new automobile. Horch roughly translates to “listen,” so he used the Latin version: Audi.
