The first automobile introduced to the market was developed by Carl Benz, who introduced a 3-wheel vehicle that would operate as one powered by gasoline. Capable of seating two people, this project was completed in 1885, then on July 1, 1886, the newspapers announced the arrival of the Benz Patent Motor Car.
On his heels, in 1901, is Gottlieb Daimler’s 1901 Mercedes, but Daimler wasn’t able to enjoy the fruits of his labor for long as heart disease claimed his life in 1900. The company we know today as Mercedes-Benz still remains as a leader of the automobile industry, experiencing over 220 years’ worth of vehicular making history.
Much has changed 200 years later as a flurry of automobile manufacturing companies has sprouted since the 1900s, as well as a broader variety of vehicles that are as diverse as the companies themselves.
Since the beginning of the automotive industry, there has been a lineup of dream cars everybody has fancied at least once, whether it be in design, power, or technology.
Here are 20 dream cars you wish you had:
20. 2022 Audi RS e-Tron GT

19. 2022 Tesla Model S (Long Range)
Without Tesla, the growth of the e-cars would not see the amount of variety it sees today as more automobile companies get in on the action to produce vehicles that rely more on solar energy as opposed to the consumption of gasoline.
Tesla remains the leader of dream car manufacturers, which is sometimes mentioned in the line of some given Hollywood production about the desire of owning a Tesla.
The rave reviews the 2022 Tesla Model S has received so far from various critics make this one of the most coveted models throughout the lineup of 2022 vehicles that are expected to appear on the car dealership lots. Tesla’s Model S Long Range boasts the ability to travel from 0 to 60 mph in just 2 seconds, thanks to its triple electric motor that can output 1020 horsepower.
