FactFiat's 1901 24-32 HP got there first on two things every driver now takes for granted: it was the first car with an accelerator pedal, and the first with a four-speed gearbox.
The Fiat 24-32 HP was introduced in 1901 (more than 400 built at Corso Dante) as a luxury chassis for coachbuilders in short, medium and long wheelbases, with a four-cylinder engine of 6371 cc in the first series, 6902 cc in the second (1904) and 7363 cc in the third (1905), each listed at 32 hp. It was the first sedan to use a "Landaulet" body type and the first car with an accelerator pedal and a four-speed gearbox; the road model could reach 75 km/h (47 mph). Length 157–172 in, width 56 in, height 93 in. The 24 HP Corsa is catalogued as its own generation.

The 1902 Fiat 24 HP Corsa wasn't a modified road car at all — it's considered the first car ever purpose-built for racing.

Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
In 1974 Alfa built a one-off on this Spider: a Porsche-style solid rear window and lift-out roof panels, fewer than 2,000 made, the only Spider ever with a part-solid roof.
Over 100,000 people voted to name this car "Duetto" — but a chocolate-snack maker had already trademarked the word, and a Milan court ruling forced Alfa to sell it as the Spider 1600 instead.
After nearly 25 years of manual-only Spiders, the final Series 4 cars quietly added something Alfa purists never expected: an optional automatic transmission.
The mid-80s Spider's Quadrifoglio Verde trim went all-in on a single look: blood-red carpets and grey leather with red stitching, and it only ever came in three exterior colors.
This Spider was built not by Alfa but by Pininfarina itself, on a platform shared with General Motors.
The 916 Spider's strongest naturally aspirated engine, the 192 PS 3.0 12V Busso V6, was never offered in its GTV coupe twin.
The Frogeye had no boot lid at all — owners reached the spare wheel by tilting the seats forward into the dark cavity behind, a ritual they likened to potholing.
The Fairlady 2000's SR311 update came with a five-speed manual gearbox in 1967 — a genuinely unusual spec for any production car of that era.
