I was talking about cars with "explosion engines" (or how do you call that 
in correct English ;)

The first "automobile" ("self moving vehicle") that I know about was steam-
powered and designed by the Flemish scientist father Ferdinand Verbiest 
somewhere in the 1670s.
It was a rather small "toy" made for the Chinese Emperor (his employer).
He made steam ships too.
