A car has three main parts: an engine or motor, a chassis and a body. The engine is the energy source that makes the wheels spin and the car move. It includes a fuel supply system, a cooling system, a lubrication system and an ignition system. Most car engines have six or eight cylinders. The chassis includes a power train (transmission), a chassis, as well as a steering and braking system. The power train transfers power from the motor to the wheels of the vehicle.
