Franz-Josef Popp, who was an Austrian engineer, directed Rapp's business. Franz-Josef Popp was securing the all-importnt military contracts. he tranformed then the existing company into "Bayerische Motoren Werke GmbH". BMW formally recognizes its birthday as March 7, 1916. Shortly after the merge, Popp realized that the company expanded too quickly and they needed financial help.

List of world fastest cars

 List of world fastest cars


1. Bugatti Veyron Super Sport: This is one of the fastest production made road car as an American debut in 2010 and went to the production towards the end of 2010.  At each of the first five times it was sold out at an cost of 2.4 million dollars this world record editions is replica of the car that clocked 267.9 miles per hour at Volkswagens Ehra-Lessien test tracks in Germany.

 With output bumped up from 1,001 horsepower to 1,200 horsepower, torque swelling to 1,106 pound-feet and a revised aerodynamic kit, Raphanel managed runs of 265.9 and 269.8 mph for an average terminal velocity of 267.81 mph and a new world record for a production car. Bugatti has created what is likely to be the ultimate version of its world-beating hypercar: the Super Sports. Bugatti sent its official test driver Pierre Henri Raphanel out on Volkswagen's Ehra-Lessian high-speed oval with the first Super Sports to see just what it could do.

2. Hennessey Venom GT:  Hennessey Performance Engineering is top and so modified than other engines  and this pushed this car towards perfection and the user can experience the best with this ultra sleek super automobile, On first glance, the Venom GT looks like the Lotus Exige. The Venom is an explosive fusion of British flair and American power.


The 2011 Hennessey Venom GT received a make-over. As far as its design goes, the Venom GT Spyder will start off with the Lotus Elise base and will follow along the same extreme design lines as its Coupe sibling. We imagine it will also feature the same active aero system with adjustable rear wing that will deploy under varying conditions on both the road and racetrack.

3. SSC Ultimate Aero: Numerous ways are there that one can define the SSC Ultimate Aero because it is used to be a time that it is indeed the ultimate. Known for world fastest car during 2007 to 2010 is also one of the boldest automotive creations ever made.
It is founded by Jerod Shelby and by no means connected to the legendary Carroll Shelby, Jerod somehow managed to create a legend of his own. 

There's also now video of the car being unveiled for a select few individuals during the Pebble Beach Concours that was just posted to YouTube. In it, you can see the silver Saab Castiota drove around in during the festivities. The video also shows company founder Jarrod Shelby saying they'll have full-scale running prototypes mid-year 2011. He also goes on to promise the design "will not get watered down.



4. Saleen S7 Twin-Turbo:  The tuner of American cars, particularly the fords is Steve Saleen  and during the 1990s, he developed a concept  and his goal was to make a true American supercar came out that ever come out of American soil. On its release in 2002, it was one of the most technically advanced cars in the world and also the only American street-legal car that packs over 500 horsepower in stock trim.


This is steering that makes a Porsche Cayman S feel sluggish, and you certainly don't want to rely on one hand to control the S7 while you yak on a cell phone in your other. But after a day behind the wheel, it became second nature while retaining its magically quick moves.



 

 5. Koenigsegg CCX:  first appeared during the 2006 Geneva Motor Show, is so named because this is an acronym that stands for Competition Coupe X, with the X marking the 10 years since the first CC car was developed in 1996.But the X could have stood for another word:
