Geography of Cars

Hello this is Lochlann Kavanagh here back with another blog, I hope guys enjoyed the first one as much as you'll enjoy this one, this blog is about cars and where all the different cars come from. The year 1886 is regarded as the birth year of the modern car. In that year, German inventor Karl Benz built the Benz Patent-Motorwagen. Cars did not become widely available until the early 20th century. One of the first cars that was accessible to the public was the 1908 Model T, an American car manufactured by the Ford Motor Company.

There are cars that come from all over the world, I will give a few examples:

• Bugatti and Citroën are from France
• Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and BMW are from Germany
• Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati are from Italy
• Lexus, Nissan and Toyota are from Japan
• Venturi is from Monaco
• Hyundai and KIA are from South Korea
• Aston Martin, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, McLaren, Land Rover and MINI are from the UK
• Tesla, Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford are from the USA

At this moment in time the Hennessy Venom GT is the fastest car in the world with a outstanding 435.3km/h. It also costs a shocking 1.2 million dollars.

There are also cars that run on different type of fuels like Hybrid and electric cars which help the environment. Hybrid means that the car uses half electricity and half fuel. Not many of the big expensive cars are hybrid but will be in the future. At the moment only small cars like the Toyota Prius use this system. To try it out first and when sure of it then start using it on the big cars like Bugatti's or Lamborghini. Hybrid cars don't cost that much but electric cars do cost quite a bit, even for the small ones as well as, that you cant go to a petrol station you have to go to a charging port when your electric car runs out which can be annoying and put people mind of buying an electric car. Electric cars also don't make any noise which might not appeal to certain people. Some people would like the big engine noise of a Ferrari or a Lamborghini.
