Karl Benz discovers a potent, portable fuel that sparks the invention of the car, leading rival Gottlieb Daimler to build a faster, more powerful engine.
As the car becomes more than a curiosity, early car makers gain traction with their inventions, and a new era of competition paves the way for a new generation of engineers.
As the Roaring '20s brings cars to the masses in America, Europe lags far behind, and Japan struggles to modernise; the car could be the answer to the problems of both, until World War II changes everything.
As America enters a golden age of car design, German and Japanese car makers struggle to recover from the devastation of World War II.
