[Video] Germany’s oldest street-legal car

By Emily Proctor

It’s no secret that Germans love their cars, and it's therefore no coincidence that the world’s oldest street-legal car, a 1894 Benz Viktoria, is a German one. 

The car is more than a century old

Built by the renowned German engineer Karl Benz, the Benz Viktoria was a state of the art automobile when it was first produced more than a century ago. With all of its quirks and peculiarities, this 127 year old engineering marvel shows just how far we have come! Check out this amazing video of the Benz Viktoria driving around Germany!
