Finally, a 2nd Da Vinci wheeled vehicle!


Leonardo’s Car was spring driven so it had to be wound up before it would move, you can see the spring in the image above. It was also programmable – pegs were put into small holes to tell the wheels of the car to turn at certain points in time during the journey, his was all controlled internally by complex gearing and cog assemblies.
