Are you aware of the blockbuster film, Fast and the Furious? It has garnered several positive remarks from viewers globally especially the cars enthusiasts. The latest Fast and the Furious film entitled Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift was released in 2006. It does not have to stop there. Vin Diesel, Jonathan Harp and American Film producer Neal H. Moritz are developing the sixth Fast and the Furious film. It is due to be released in theatres in 2013. The plot is relatively the same as the story includes car racing, infiltrating Los Angeles street racers, busting hijacking ring and testing of loyalties between friends.If you happen to be so included in cars and you like fast speed velocity, you might be interested to know the fastest cars on the planet.Bugatti Veyron Super Sport 0-60 Time: 2.5 secondsAs suggested by car experts, the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport car is second to none concerning speed and power. This super sport car is made in France. It was created by the Ge rmans. Currently, it costs around 2.5 million dollars. If you can splurge on 2.5 million dollars, then the $25,000 tires won't be the trouble for you. The sports edition was originally shown publicly in 2010 while in the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance which is an automotive charitable event. James Daniel May, a notable English television presenter, verified the car's exemplary speed. He said that at top speed the engine of Bugatti Veyron Super Sport consumes 45,000 litres (9,900 imp gal) of air per minute. This is resembling the amount of air one human breathes in four days. That only shows how powerful the engine of the Bugatti Veryon Super Sport actually is.Hennessey Venom GTIf you like chic and fast cars, you might certainly be a fan of the Hennessey Venom GT. This superb car is manufactured by Hennessey Performance Engineering. Its remarkable chassis is said to be assembled in Silverstone, England. Since Hennessey manufactures their power plants at Sealy, Texas, the en gine of the Hennessey Venom GT is assembled in Texas. This super sports car costs approximately $725,000 for the 725 HP variant. It can still rise to $950,000 for the 1200 HP model. According to research, the Hennessey Venom GT specs features lightweight carbon fibre bodywork. It runs in a supercharged 6.2 litre LS9 V8, which has similarities to the Corvette ZR1. It could run up to 275 mph at top speed.Koenigsegg Agera RLast year, this super car is noted by Top Speed as the supercar of the year. The Agera R can run smoothly at 0-62 mph (100 km/h) in 2.9 seconds. It can reach up to 275 mph (442.569 km/h), being possibly one of the fastest cars nowadays. To decrease resistance to the wind and to force the wing downward, the manufacturers of the Koenigsegg Agera R created a dynamic rear wing. Because of that sort of performance, this car is no doubt one of the world's best.2012 Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo StradaleRegardless of its long name, this impeccable sport s car is among the world's finest. The weight of this car is 1,340 kilos. The weight LP 570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale is greatly reduced because its bodywork comes from aluminum and carbon fibre. It can hit the road in 0-62 miles per hour in 3.4 seconds.With the modern technology, cars turned out to be more innovative. Above are some of the best and fastest cars in the world. Sooner or later, don t be surprised to see exceptional cars even faster than the ones mentioned in this article. Imagine how far the car industry has gone beginning from Flintstone's prehistoric cars.

Henry Birkin - Wood texture manufacturer - china Mosaic texture - News - Business News
Background and familyHe was born into a wealthy Nottingham family in 1896. He was the son of Sir Thomas Stanley Birkin, 2nd Bt. and Hon. Margaret Diana Hopetoun Chetwynd. In childhood, Henry Birkin gained the nickname "Tim", after the children's comic book character Tiger Tim, created by Julius Stafford Baker, who was extremely popular at the time. The nickname stuck right up to Birkin's death.He married Audrey Clara Lilian Latham, daughter of Sir Thomas Paul Latham, 1st Bt. and Florence Clara Walley, on 12 July 1921. They were divorced in 1928.He and Audrey had two daughters, Pamela and Sara, both of whom married and had issue. The elder daughter Pamela (d. 1983) married two Buxton cousins in succession, and her second husband was the Life Peer Baron Buxton of Alsa, KCVO, MC. She had seven children including wildlife film-maker Cindy Buxton. The younger daughter Sara (d. 1976) married twice, and had two sons by her first husband..At his death, without sons of his own, in 1933, he was succeeded by his next surviving paternal uncle Sir Alexander Russell Birkin, 3rd Baronet (d. 1942).His younger brother, Archie Birkin, was killed during practice for the 1927 Isle of Man TT motorcycle races. Military careerHe joined the Royal Flying Corps during World War I and gained the rank of Lieutenant in the service of the 108th (Norfolk and Suffolk Yeoman) Field Brigade, serving in Palestine where he contracted malaria, a disease from which he would suffer for the rest of his life. Racing careerIn 1921 he turned to motor racing, competing a few races at Brooklands. Business and family pressure then forced him to retire from the tracks until 1927 when he entered a threelitre Bentley for a six hour race. For 1928 he acquired a 4litre car and after some good results decided to return to motor racing, very much against his family's wishes. Soon the little Bentley driver, racing with a blue and white spotted silk scarf around his neck, would be a familiar sigh t on the race tracks driving with the works team (the "Bentley Boys"). In 1928 Birkin entered the Le Mans race again, leading the first twenty laps until a jammed wheel forced him to drop back, finishing fifth.The next year he was back as winner, racing the "Speed Six" as co-driver to Woolf Barnato. If Bentley wanted a more powerful car he developed a bigger model and the Speed Six was a huge car. Ettore Bugatti once referred to the Bentley as "the world's fastest lorry" ("Le camion plus vite du monde").[citation needed] Back in 1928 however, Birkin had come to the conclusion that the future lay in getting more power from a lighter model by fitting a supercharger to the 4 litre Bentley. When Bentley Motors refused to create the supercharged model Birkin sought he determined to develop it himself. With technical help from Clive Gallop and supercharger specialist Amherst Villiers, and with Dorothy Paget financing the project after his own money had run out, Birkin rebuilt the car at the engineering works he had set up for the purpose at Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire. Adding a huge Roots-type supercharger ("blower") in front of the radiator driven straight from the crankshaft gave the car a unique appearance. The 242bhp "blower Bentley" was born.The blower Bentley first appeared at the Essex six hour race at Brooklands on 29 June 1929. However, the car initially proved to be very unreliable. W.O. Bentley himself had never accepted the blower Bentley. He said that supercharging a Bentley was "to pervert the design and corrupt the performance".[citation needed] Nevertheless, with Wolf Barnato's support, Birkin persuaded "W.O." to produce the fifty supercharged cars necessary for the model to be accepted for the Le Mans twenty four hour race. In addition to these production cars built by Bentley Motors, Birkin put together a racing team of four remodelled "prototypes" (three road cars for Le Mans and a track car for Brooklands) and assembled a fifth car from spare parts. Birkin's blower Bentleys were too late for Le Mans in 1929 and only two of the cars reached the start line in 1930. After an epic duel between Dudley Benjafield and Birkin's privately entered blower Bentleys and Rudolf Caracciola's Mercedes SSK all three retired, leaving the victory to the Bentley works team Speed Six of Barnato and Glen Kidston. Birkin's courage and fearless driving, in particular his selflessly harrying Caracciola into submission, are regarded as embodying the true spirit of the Vintage Racing era.Back in 1925 the energetic motor sports enthusiast Eugne Azemar, who was involved with the Tourist Board in Saint-Gaudens in southern France, succeeded in persuading the Automobile Club du Midi to arrange a Grand Prix race in the region. A great success, the Saint-Gaudens track later got the honor of hosting the 1928 French Grand Prix. If they can, so can we, thought the city council in the nearby town of Pau and decided to try to take the French Grand Prix to their own town. Pau actually had some Grand Prix traditions, as the town held the honour of arranging the first race ever to be called a Grand Prix back in 1901. For the 1930 Grand Prix a triangular, Le Mans-type track outside the city was selected. Known as the Circuit de Morlaas it should not be confused with the well-known street track in the Parque Beaumont. The French had hoped to run the race to the International Formula, but when the response was poor the event was postponed and changed to a Formula Libre event instead. The new date meant that the Italian teams were unable to attend, leaving it to be mostly an internal French affair with sixteen Bugattis, two Peugeots and a Delage among the twenty five starters. Among the top Bugatti drivers were Louis Chiron, Marcel Lehoux, Count Stanislas Czaikowski, Jean-Pierre Wimille, Philippe tancelin and William Grover-Williams.A curiosity in the largely single-seat entry list was Tim Birkin's blower B entley touring car, stripped down to racing trim, with headlights and mudguards removed. The race distance was twenty five laps of the 15.8 km track, making a total of 396 km. Guy Bouriat took an early lead, followed by Williams, Zanelli, Czaikowski and tancelin, with Birkin as first non-Bugatti driver, in sixth place. Williams in a works Bugatti then became the next leader. Czaikowski fell back through the field and Bouriat in the other works Bugatti made a pitstop giving over the car to Chiron. Then Williams also had to make a stop for a new wheel. That all made way for tancelin to advance and he was followed by Birkin, the track with its long straights suiting the supercharged Bentley perfectly.At one-third distance Chiron led, followed by tancelin, Williams and Birkin. Birkin's fourth place became a third as Williams got engine troubles but then Zanelli, who had made an early stop, came rushing through the field pushing Birkin back to fourth. At lap ten "Sabipa" crashed and was thrown out of his Bugatti, Birkin only avoiding the injured driver by the slightest of margins. After eleven laps Chiron encountered problems with oil pressure and tancelin took over the lead. Soon Chiron was also passed by Zanelli and Birkin. The Bentley driver used the horn to warn the Bugatti to move over, surely a unique occurrence in Grand Prix racing! With seven laps to go Zanelli made another pitstop and Birkin was up into second place. While tancelin, with a 2.5 minute lead, nursed his Bugatti home to take victory, Zanelli had not given up and was catching Birkin fast. At the flag the margin was down to fourteen seconds but it was enough for the British Bentley driver to make Grand Prix history. DeathBirkin's world fell to pieces at the end of 1930. Bentley Motors withdrew from racing and closed down the following year. (Although purchased by Rolls Royce the marque did not reappear for several years.) And Dorothy Paget withdrew her support for Birkin's road t eam in October 1930. She continued however to support Birkin's red single seater track car (the Brooklands Battleship)and Birkin kept his motor workshop going by entering into a partnership with Mike Couper and developing a business specialising in tuning high performance cars. In addition, an "electric model Brooklands" -- an elaborate miniature racetrack game with motorized cars running on single rails -- was manufactured at the works. Birkin's partnership with Couper came to an end in 1932 however and the works closed.Birkin continued racing despite these setbacks. In 1931 he won Le Mans with Earl Howe in an Alfa Romeo, even receiving a telegram from Mussolini congratulating him on his "win for Italy". On the 24th March 1932 he raised the Brooklands Outer Circuit lap record to 137.96 mph in the Brooklands Battleship, a record which stood for another two years before being beaten by John Cobb driving the 24 litre Napier Railton. On 7 May 1933 he started the Tripoli Grand P rix in a new 3L Maserati 8C owned by fellow driver Bernard Rubin, finishing third. During his pit stop Birkin burnt his arm badly against the hot exhaust pipe while picking up a cigarette lighter. There are different opinions of what then happened. The traditional view is that the wound turned septic. Others say Birkin suffered from a malaria attack. Probably it was a combination of both that proved fatal, as Birkin died at Countess Carnavon Nursing Home in London 22 June 1933. TriviaSir Henry's life was portrayed in the 1995 TV drama Full Throttle with comedian Rowan Atkinson in the role of Sir Henry ("Tim") Birkin.There is a tuned version of the Bentley Continental GT built by German aftermarket tuner MTM called the MTM Bentley Birkin Edition named in honor of Sir Henry, the car produces either 632 hp or 641 hp depending on the trim ordered by the buyer.In 2000 Bentley produced an Arnage in limited numbers called "The Birkin Arnage" Further readingHenry Ralph Stanley Birki n - Full throttle: Sir Henry ("Tim") Birkin (London: G.T.

Turning over the pages of Bugatti sport Car History - Autos - Classics
The name of Bugatti is not so well known, but it is popular and adored among the car enthusiasts, though a few thousand of car models have been produced. The company, which was founded by Ettore Bugatti in France, is famous for producing the fastest cars with the most unique design in the world. The company is one of the first automobile producers which still exist till nowadays. During the last fifteen years it has experienced a new rebirth.In the end of 20s beginning of 30s it seemed like Bugatti would be one the prime rivals in the races: the team of Bugatti company won the world`s first Monaco Grand Prix in 1929. The next important event happened soon - Jean-Pierre Wimille, the driver of the company, won the 24 hours race of Le Mans two times (in 1937 and in 1939).The company achieved fame for its high-quality engineering. Bugatti was known for creating engine blocks that had been hand scraped, which meant they didn`t need gaskets and exposed engine compartment. The Br itish company and the main rival of Bugatti on the automobile market was Bentley. Both Bugatti and Bentley produced a limited number of car models, most created manually. Only a few samples of the Bugatti models were produced due to their exclusivity.However, Bugatti Company suffered the same fate as many other automobile companies during the World War II because of the lack of materials. Nevertheless it produced one car model in 1950s. The company went into the decline after it was purchased for the airplane parts division. It has shown up again in the racing world in 1990s, when the brand was bought by Volkswagen and the work on a series of the test cars started. At the moment Bugatti joined the list of some famous and unknown racers. It happened after appearing the Veyron 16.4 model in the USA and its debut in Sicily some years later.Speaking about the Bugatti history it should be mentioned about the Lamborghini designers as well as about purchasing the Lotus car company, which is evidence to the high-powered following of the brand. In 1998, under Volkswagen, Bugatti started its work on the the EB118 concept. This model was a touring sedan with an 18 cylinder W-configuration engine. The two-door coupe had 555 horsepower. In a year the new model EB218, a four-door limousine, took part in the Geneva Auto Show. The closest competitors of EB118 and EB218 were the Veyron 16.4 and the Chiron.Bugatti car models with unique design, high-quality machines proving the fact that though the brand`s owner had changed but the quality of the product remains the same. Bugatti brand is still one of the most favorite but inaccessible brand for many cars enthusiast.
Six Most Luxury Super cars in the World - Business - Sales
are generally regarded as the fastest cars in the world with beautiful and favorable appearance. Their production volume is very few. Even though car enthusiasts are crazy about them, they have few chances to see them in the reality. In history, there are the following six most luxury ones in the world, which will be remembered by people forever.
The first one is Bugatti Veyron, Italian famous super car brand. It has the most powerful horsepower, and the fastest speed. Bugatti Veyron is regarded as the most expensive car since the beginning of recorded history. To increase its power, Bugatti made every endeavor from two aspects: firstly, it took turbocharger device, using four independent turbochargers distributed around the engine. Secondly, it largely increased the rotation speed by taking relatively small cylinder diameter. By doing so, Bugatti Veyron achieved the perfect combination of speed, safety, stability and controllability.
The second one is Porsche CarreraGT, a famous turbocharger manufacturer. In the reality, Porsche has become an alternative word for super car. Porsche CarreraGT has been regarded as the newest and best super car produced by Porsche in the recent ten years. CarreraGT has combined lots of advanced racing technology summarized by Porsche in recent years.
The third one is Ferrari ENZO, produced by Ferrari Automobile Company. Its ultimate speed is 350 kilometers. It can reach one hundred kilometers in 3.65 seconds. These two parameters make Ferrari ENZO the fastest road car in Ferrari history. Ferrari ENZO is the fourth restricted production car. There are only 50 sets in the whole world.
The fourth one is Lamborghini Murcielago, a two-door and two-seat super car with high performance. It is designed by Lamborghini's chief designer Luc Donckerwolke. Large-displaced V12 engine is its biggest selling point. Murcielago contains almost all the necessary elements of modern super car, especially its inlet design besides the engine, which has largely enhanced its popularity.
The fifth one is Saleen S7, which was regarded as American most famous super car. Saleen S7 firstly took seven-liter V8 engine, and then in 2005 it adopted twin turbocharger designs, which made its torque reached to 750hp. Saleen S7 has been considered as the fastest production super car in the world.
The sixth is Benz SLS AMG, which is the only one model of Benz SLS grade, and it is also the most expensive one with the highest performance among all Benz AMG editions. With 6.2L V8 engine, it can reach the speed at 320KM/h.

The Top Ten Priciest Cars Today - Autos - Cars
What is the most expensive car in this world? The 1931 Bugatti Royale Kellner Coupe has been bought for $8,700,000 in 1987. Though, that automobile and plenty of alike will not be added for this list as it's unavailable on the market today. It's tough consider an individual could really throw away eight million dollars on a car rather than using it for something more productive. However, if you had this money together with opportunity, you might probably spend a tiny part of it on a collection of really expensive cars to your exclusive garage. Here's the ten priciest production automobiles on the market; we won't be including concept cars.World's Priciest Vehicles:
1. Bugatti Veyron Super Sports. Price $2,400,000. It is quite possibly the most costly street legal car available on the market right now (the base model of Bugatti Veyron prices about $1,700,000). It's the most speedy accelerating automobile reaching 0-60 in merely 2.5 secs. Additionally, it is the quickest street legal vehicle when examined once again on July 10, 2010 with the 2010 Bugatti Veyron Super Sport type attaining a top speed of 267 mph. When rivalling against the Bugatti Veyron, you better be ready!
2. Pagani Zonda Clinque Roadster. Price $1,850,000. Perhaps the most exotic autos around is one of the most expensive. It can easily go to 0 to 60 in just 3.4 secs along with a top speed of 217 miles per hour. You will find there's tie for the third place:
3. Lamborghini Reventon. Price $1,600,000. The most powerful as well as the costliest Lamborghini ever made is the third on our top 10 list. It will take just 3.3 secs to reach speeds of 60 miles per hour and it has a top speed of 211 miles per hour. Its rarity (limited to 20 cars ever manufactured) and elusive design would be the reasons why it's extremely expensive and costly to possess.
3. Koenigsegg Agera R. Price $1,600,000. The Agera R burns up 0-60 in just 2.8 seconds, achieving a top speed of 260 mph. It has the parts to arrive at 270 mph, except the super-car is actually digitally limited to 235 miles-per-hour. For safety reasons, of course. With the completion of some specific paperwork, the car company will get rid of the speed limit for one occasion.
4. McLaren F1. Price $970,000. Back in 94', the McLaren F1 was indeed the quickest and most highly-priced vehicle. Though it was produced 15 years ago, it has an astonishing top speed of 240 miles-per-hour and is able to reach 60 miles-per-hour in 3.2 secs. To this day, the McLaren F1 is still top rated on the list and outperforms several supercars.
5. Ferrari Enzo. Price $670,000. By far the most popular super car ever constructed. The Enzo features a top speed of 217 mph and gets to 60 miles per hour in 3.4 seconds. Only 400 models were made and it is presently being sold for over $1,000,000 at various auctions.
6. Pagani Zonda C12 F. Price $667,321. Produced by a tiny independent company in Italy, the Pagani Zonda C12 F is the 6th costliest car on the planet. It promises to achieve a top speed of 215 mph and it can reach 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds.
7. SSC Ultimate Aero. Price $654,400. Do not let the cost deceive you, the 7th most expensive car is actually the third quickest street legal car on the planet with a top speed of 257 miles-per-hour and attaining 0 to 60 in 2.7 seconds. This bad boy costs less than half as much as the Bugatti Veyron, yet still offers enough power to compete against the most high-priced vehicle. Roughly only twenty-five of this exact type will ever be produced.
8. Ascari A10. Price $650,000. This bad-boy can reach a verified top speed of 215 mph, zooming zero to sixty in 2.8 mere seconds. The English car company plans to assemple fifty of these supercars in their factory in Banbury, England.
9. Saleen S7 Twin Turbo. Price $555,000. The first true US production certified supercar. This cowboy is also rank 4th for the fastest car in the world. It provides a top speed of 248 miles-per-hour also it can reach 0-60 in 3.2 seconds. If you're a true American patriot, you may very well be proud to show off this car to the world.
10. Koenigsegg CCX. Price $545,568. Swedish made, the Koenigsegg is combating hard to become the fastest car across the world. Currently, it's the fifth quickest automobile in the world having a top speed of 245 miles-per-hour, the car manufacture Koenigsegg just introduced the Koenigsegg Agera R to compete against the Bugatti Veyron. The car maker is a strong contender and will always try and produce the fastest car in the world. Have fun with that!
