Here Are 25 Modern Cars Belonging To Popular Brands Compared To Their Vintage Models
In a very creaky, slow, gasoline-smelling carriage that miraculously moved without the least assistance from horses on that famous day one hundred thirty-seven years ago, the German inventor and mechanic Karl Benz rode out of the gates of his home. The beginning of the automotive era was not yet recognized as a historic event by Benz's neighbors.
Then, many, many years ago, around the turn of the century, Isotta Fraschini, Lorraine-Dietrich, and Hispano-Suiza, as well as the well-known Ford, Mercedes-Benz, and Renault, were among the world's top automotive brands. And during the course of approximately 150 years, the appearance of cars has undergone an unimaginable transformation.
They have evolved from clumsy strollers with thin wheels on spokes that were completely unsafe on the road, noisy, and smelling of smoke. They now have swift, streamlined shapes and artificial intelligence to help the driver, and safety has become a key consideration in the design of new models. Obviously, attractiveness and safety are the focus here.
A unique collection of comparison illustrations between the first or one of the first cars from some of the most popular modern manufacturers and some of their most recent models has been put together for you. So feel free to browse through these images and marvel at the development of engineering and design concepts.
