Pagani
Car racing is a game that is popular worldwide, most especially in Europe. That is why Pagani, a race car manufacturing company in Italy, also joined the car racing community by manufacturing magnificent race cars since 1999. Pagani Automobili got its name from its founder Horacio Pagani. For all we know, Horacio showed his love for cars ever since he was still a child. In fact, when he was only 12 years old, he was already able to come up with different car designs that are made up of wood carvings. Now, Pagani Automobili is one of the successful race car manufacturers in the world. They have been proud of their own models such as the Pagani Zonda, which was first engineered by Juan Miguel Fangio, a Formula One Champion. The first set of Pagani Zonda manufactured by the company was originally named after its creator Fangio. But soon after, it was renamed after an air current above Argentina.
McLaren
Being a spinoff of the producer of cars that heat up the Formula 1 racetracks, the McLaren Automative, commonly termed as simply McLaren, is strongly acclaimed to be one of the best companies that produce high performance cars. The company was brought into being in 1989 by Ron Dennis in the large town of Woking in Surrey, United Kingdom. From then on, the company has been modeling world renowned sports cars taking after the Formula One technology. The McLaren F1 is the company’s pilot car created in 1992. It is a coupe with three seats, the driver situated in the middle. Gordon Murray designed the car, while BMW built its engine, a 6,064 cc V12 unit that is capable of producing 627 bhp. This is then followed by the Maverick supersonic car in 1993, and the McLaren Mercedes MP4/98T in 1998. The former is taken as the first tandem Formula One car in the world, and was also designed by Murray. Perhaps the most famous car ever produced by the McLaren Company is the one it made in partnership with Mercedes-Benz, the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. It was first shown in the Paris Motor Show on September 2004. It has a 626 bhp coming from its 5.5 Litre Superchraged V8 engine, and can accelerate to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds.

It was founded by the manufacturing magnate Ferruccio Lamborghini in 1963, and has changed ownership many times since then.

Jaguar
Careening with luxury, royalty, power and speed, Jaguar cars are a dream for those who wish to wield status icons, who hunt for adventure, and who pounce on the faint-hearted. Jaguar Cars Ltd., popularly known as simply Jaguar, is a famous British manufacturer of state-of the-art luxury cars based in Coventry, England. It was first founded in 1922 by Sir William Lyons under the name Swallow Sidecar Company. The name was later on changed to Jaguar to avoid troubles and issues that would probably arise from the abbreviation SS. The company has changed ownership numerous times until it finally landed on Ford in 1989. Another notable thing about Jaguar is the fact that it possesses royal warrants from both HM Queen Elizabeth and HRM Prince Charles. There are four most remarkable Jaguar models: the X-Type, the XF, the XK, and the XJ. The Jaguar X-Type is a compact executive car released in 2001 which is available as saloon and estate.

Hennessey
Hennessey Performance Engineering, or HPE, is an automotive performance company that provides designs and performance upgrades for various well-known cars. Latest news that involve Hennessey are about the development of a high performance car in partnership with DiMora Motorcar. The Hennessey Venom GT which will be released in 2011 is a monster that scares even the experienced driver with its 1200 bhp count and twin-turbo mid-engine. It is patterned after the Lotus Exige, another supercar that blazes in the racetrack with speed. The Venom combines a British chassis with an all-American built, and according to John Hennessey, it is like a U.S. built P51 Mustang dogfighter with a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine. He even remarked that the Venom is all because of his dream to create a super car that fuses “the best engineering and the best technologies with the best materials.” Lucky is Hennessey, because with the reviews praising the car, he is no doubt only a couple of steps away from realizing his dream.
Gumpert
Running 224 mph and reaching 62 mph in just 3 seconds flat, the Gumpert Apollo is a sure fire way not to get late. The super car was first conceptualized in 2001 by Roland Gumpert, from whom it got its name, who wanted to introduce a new line of sports car that is both street-legal and racetrack-ready. After spending three years in China, Gumpert returned to Germany, and was sought by Roland Mayer for help in building a prototype sports car. Gumpert agreed in one condition: the car would be a real series product, rather than just a prototype. With the imagination and expertise of Marco Vanetta who took charge of the technical guidelines and primary designs of the car, the first 1:4 scale model of the Gumpert Apollo was completed in 2002. Gumpert continued work with the car, and with the assistance of the Technical University of Munich and the Ingolstadt University of Applied Sciences, the blueprint of the first 1:1 scale model was formed. The Apollo then first came out in October 2005. Since then, Gumpert Apollo has never been left out in the list of fastest cars. Actually, it is the fourth fastest car in MSN Cars released in 2009, which actually translates to the obvious fact that there are not so many cars that can outrun the Apollo.
