As a lover of fast cool cars, we have created the top 10 fastest cars in the world. Many believe the Bugatti Veyron to be the worlds fastest production car which is incorrect. It actually comes in 4th position so starting at 10th position and working our way down, here are the 10 fastest cars in the world...
10th Fastest Car in the World = Jaguar XJ220 - 227mph
9th Fastest Car in the World = Ultima GT-R640 - 231mph
8th Fastest Car in the World = TVR Cebera Speed 12 - 240mph
7th Fastest Car in the World = Mclaren F1 - 240mph
6th Fastest Car in the World = Koenigsegg CCX - 241mph
4th Fastest Car in the World = Bugatti Veyron - 253mph
3rd Fastest Car in the World = Koenigsegg CCXR- 254mph
2nd Fastest Car in the World = Porsche GT9 - 254mph
The Fastest Car In The World Is....
So we've gone through the top 10, and here is the fastest car in the world, the Shelby Super Cars (SSC) Ultimate Aero. The 1287 hp V8 powers this carbon fibre clad "Hyper-car" all the way to 257mph! It gets to 60 mph in 2.78 seconds, and will power it's way down a 1/4 mile strip in 9.9 seconds. This is one FAST car!
Number 1 Fastest Car in the World = Shelby Super Cars (SSC) Ultimate Aero - 257mph

Interesting to know that SSC are working on (and will be producing) the Ultimate Aero EV. This will be the first 200mph+ electric car powered by a single 500bhp electric motor. It's worth mentioning that SSC are playing around with bolting 2 of their 500bhp motors together for a 100hp electric Hyper-car. Who says you can't have an economical Hypercar?

Mercedes is considering moving some production of its popular C-Class to the United States. If the plan is approved, production of the C-Class would shift from Sindelfingen, Germany to Tuscaloosa, Alabama, presumably at the company’s current M-Class facility. Mercedes’ is considering the shift due to lower wages rates at the Alabama plant. The move would also help safeguard Mercedes’ profits against unfavorable Dollar to Euro exchange rates.
Mercedes has yet to confirm the report – only saying that “there is neither a decision nor a recommendation on C-Class location politics” – but rumors suggest the 4 door, 2 door and wagon variants of the C-Class could be built at the Alabama plant, with the latter likely for export.
No word on when the shift might occur, but the Mercedes SL-Class would likely fill the C-Class' spot at the Sindelfingen plant.

Company Subaru has presented the new version of model WRX STI which it prepares to show on a motor show in Tokyo. Even having considered the car in all its aspects, to understand sense of its release difficult enough.
In general, STI already long time accuse that it a little greasy, however when you build a sport car, taking for a basis a plebeian body, you should be ready to it. Plus, STI in itself, being serious enough car, nevertheless did not hold out to level Mitsubishi EVO. Perhaps, in the company just also wished to eliminate all these problems, having exhausted the new version? Well-well.
Meet WRX STI Carbon. A roof at it – from carbon fiber. And a five-speed transmission – from Legacy. And it not the mechanical. Ah yes, seaters… upholstered with suede. That's all. No, actually the roof from carbon very much is pleasant to me, she allows to lower weight and the centre of gravity, but an automatic gear box for enthusiasts? In general, this time i dont understand Subaru.
Already someone hardly doubts that in the near future electromobiles will seriously press the petrol and diesel colleagues. For example, the head of alliance Renault-Nissan Carlos Gon is assured that by 2020 electromobiles will make more than 20 % of a world motor-vehicle pool, and further this figure will grow only.
By itself that away from fashionable electric insanity there are no also manufacturers super cars. After all already now "green" reproach founders of powerful cars that their cars terribly soil environment. And every year these reproaches sound all more loudly. Where an exit?
It is clear that always there will be a certain category of people which does not think of the existence without speed, a roar of the powerful motor and adrenaline gallons. However these citizens would not like to look at all in the opinion of surrounding with malicious pollutants of atmosphere. The exit from this uneasy position was offered by little-known German firm e-Wolf. Engineers of this company undertook working out electric a super car, received the name e-Wolf e2. The car has bright, rather aggressive design, something similar Ferrari Enzo and Lamborghini Reventon. The length of the electric devourer of kilometres makes exactly five metres, width – 1,90 m, height – 1,20 m.
The recipe of preparation a super car is simple and traditional – an aluminium frame and a body from composit materials. Thanks that the weight of an electromobile does not exceed 900 kg. The developed air intakes before rear fenders should mislead nobody, as the motor behind is not present. But there is a block of batteries which feed four electric motors, each of which puts in action one of wheels. Cumulative capacity of a power-plant makes 536 h.p. and 1000 Nm a twisting moment. Double a super car Germans promised to publish dynamic characteristics later, but already now it is known that on completely charged accumulators the car is capable to pass almost three hundred kilometres. If the battery is discharged, it it is possible to recharge all for half an hour.
Curious feature e-Wolf e2 is the sound generator, capable to reproduce a sound of various engines and not only them. As it is paradoxical, but the sound generator is necessary that … not to frighten pedestrians. For example, in the USA widespread enough became the phenomenon when pedestrians do not hear coming nearer hybrid car when it goes on electropull-rod, and is banal are frightened, having faced artfully and silently "crept" car. Someone even complained of drivers hybrid cars in police. German super car, moreover a sound of the formular engine simulating, for example, hardly remains not noticed.
However, while e-Wolf e2 exists only in the form of computer sketches, and it will be embodied in metal not earlier than next year. If all at Germans goes according to plan electric super car will be started in a batch production in 2011.
Mitsubishi, at last, has begun road tests of the new small crossover which will appear on sale, most likely, in the end of next year. This model will be made on motives concept Concept-cX which has been shown on a motor show in Frankfurt in 2007.
While the new car "is completely dressed" in a camouflage, therefore about nuances of design to speak prematurely. However it is necessary to notice that at the heart of a new crossover there will be a platform from … Lancer. The drive gear at a crossover will be front or full, however, to count on presence of any mechanical blockings of differentials it is not necessary. After all it's the same city crossover, instead of an off-road car. That repents competitors the main contender new Mitsubishi in the European market will be Nissan Qashqai.
Profitability reasons, concern in level of blowouts in carbonic acid atmosphere, and also that fact that motor V10 practically is not used in other models BMW, can lead together all to that the following generation M5 will receive instead of this engine turbo V8. And if earlier the information which has appeared in May seemed only hearing this time journalists managed to receive official acknowledgement from representatives of German concern.
Sources in BMW have not specified, which V8 it will be, however the most probable candidate is 4,4-litre turbo motor from X5M and X6M capacity of 555 horsepowers which maximum twisting moment makes 678 Nanometers.

The SKY-G engine is a 2.0 liter unit with direct injection and an improved variable valve timing system which gives it a 15% fuel economy and torque advantage over the current MZR engine in the Mazda 3 2.0 Sport. Direct injection was previously found only on the turbocharged 2.3 liter engine but is now available in the ‘regular’ engines.
The Mazda SKY-D engine is a 2.2 liter unit that offers fuel economy of approximately 20% better than the current 2.2 liter diesel engine. It features a newly designed engine block that reduces mechanical friction to the level of a gasoline engine. Other features include piezo injectors and a two-stage turbocharger. It doesn’t sound like its a twin-turbo setup, but instead is probably a variable geometry turbocharger.

I am sure some time you want to have a small car with two seater. In such small car you just want to go ahead with your love. But that small car should have look and speed as well.
Demand of small car is increasing a lot because of their high mobility and easy to use. Since this new small car have two seating capacity only hence this can be adjust in even small place and need only small portion of place in traffic.
