The oldest car in the world is considered the Cugnot Fardier à vapeur, a steam-powered tricycle built by French inventor Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot in 1769 (or 1770 for the full-size model) for the French military to haul cannons. While impractical and slow, it's recognized as the first self-propelled land vehicle, featuring concepts like front-wheel drive and rack-and-pinion steering, with an original surviving prototype displayed at the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris.
