Verbiest's Car

Replica of the first toy car known to man

Verbiest's car standing on a dirt forest road.

A toy car which was originally created around 1672 by a Flemish Jesuit missionary in China and an accomplished mathematician and astronomer — Ferdinand Verbiest, as a gift for the Kangxi Emperor. The car was approximately 65 cm long, so was not designed to carry humans. Once filled with coal and water, it could move for over an hour. This is a lowpoly replica of the car.
