2007 SSC Ultimate Aero
The world's faster production car since September 2007. Built by, the Americans, that's a surprise. SSC which stands for Shelby Super Cars beat the Bugatti Veyron by 2.83 seconds. Not bad, in my opinion I don't like the styling of the Ultimate Aero, it is old and ugly, also the Bugatti, I believe it needs to be something better for the amount you are paying. The Ultimate Aero is about 1 million less than the Bugatti. Also it boasts with better technology, a Twin Turbo V8 engine which out performs the Bugatti's V12.Engine

2006 Bugatti Veyron 16.4
The fastest car in the world, after the McLaren F1. The Bugatti Veyron 16.4’s home is in Molsheim-Dorlisheim, the French town where, almost 100 years ago, Ettore Bugatti began to realize his lifelong dream of being a car manufacturer. The new workshop is not just where the engine and vehicle are assembled and tested, it is also the place where customers collect their Bugattis and drive them out onto the streets for the first time. Since the late 1990's many concepts were made for the fastest Bugatti and it's finally here.Engine

Volkswagen of America changes name
In order to go with their new appearance and surroundings. Volkswagen of America has announced that they have changed their name to Volkswagen Group of America.
Executives feel that this name better suits the fact that there are five automotive brands under the umbrella of Volkswagen in the United States.
Seems to be more fitting. It's just going to take some time to get used to VGoA from now on. And historically speaking, VWoA will continue to exist.
Press Release:
AUBURN HILLS, MICH. (Dec. 12, 2007) — Volkswagen of America, Inc. announced today that it has changed its name to Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. The change will be fully effective January 1.
The new name better reflects the fact that the Volkswagen Group of America includes five distinct brands: Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, and Volkswagen, as well as the related financial services functions of Audi Financial Services, Bentley Financial Services and Volkswagen Credit.
“Our company, like the entire Volkswagen Group, has grown dramatically since our formation in the United States in 1955. Our new corporate name allows our individual brands to flourish, while recognizing that we have a common support structure that gives us great strength as we face our competitors,” said Stefan Jacoby, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The new name Volkswagen Group of America reflects the much wider array of goods and services we now offer, and prepares us for even more activities in the future.”
Operating under the umbrella of Volkswagen Group of America, the Volkswagen and Audi brands will continue to provide sales and service under their names, Volkswagen of America and Audi of America.
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. remains a wholly owned subsidiary of Volkswagen AG, which together with its subsidiaries and affiliates worldwide is now the fourth largest automobile company in the world.
