PLATZ Italeri Leonardo da Vinci's Car Plastic Model IT3101
This plastic model assembly kit recreates the Self-Propelled Craft, one of the inventions left behind by the great Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci.
Leonardo's Self-Propelled Cart, also known as the Self-Propelled Craft, is considered the ancestor of the automobile.
It is powered by two springs.
The force of the symmetrically arranged springs drives the wheels through a mechanism incorporating complex gears.
Furthermore, it could move along a pre-programmed path.
This mechanism is considered to be the ancestor of modern robots.
A replica of this mechanism is kept and can be seen at the museum near the Château d'Amboise in France.
