Primeiro automóvel em Portugal

Em 1895, o conde D’Avilez surpreendeu os lisboetas e os habitantes que bordejavam as estradas até Santiago do Cacém, deslocando-se num veículo totalmente inovador para os portugueses: o automóvel.

Apesar de este  Panhard & Levasseur, equipado com um motor Daimler de dois cilindros em V, com 1290 cc e 3,75 cv, ter provocado algumas reacções de descrédito e pavor  –  conta-se que um criado corria à frente da carruagem sem cavalos alertando as populações para apagarem todas as fogueiras a fim de evitarem a explosão da máquina  –   este novo meio de locomoção suscitou grande entusiasmo e exerceu enorme atracção entre a aristocracia e os capitalistas nacionais.

First automobile in Portugal.

In 1895 the Earl of Avilez surprised the people of Lisbon and those along the roads to Santiago do Cacém, by riding the latest thing as a vehicle, among the Portuguese people.

It was a  Panhard & Levassor, equipped with a Daimler two cylinder V engine, 1290 cc and 3,75 bhp, which provoked reactions of disbelief  and terror.

It is said that one of his servants ran before the horseless coach, alerting people to put out all fires in order to avoid a possible explosion of the machine.

Nevertheless, this new locomotion way has raised a great enthusiasm and a large appeal among the Portuguese aristocracy and wealthy.
