This car comes with the 507bhp V10 5.0-litre from the M5. There won't be many of these cars and Veritas will have to switch to the twin-turbo V8 when BMW runs out, so this is possibly a one-off chance to drive the naturally aspirated V10, shed of almost half its weight.
That's right, the Veritas might be big, but the simple body means it weighs slightly more than 1,000kg, which is seriously light for a car with this power and only rear-wheel drive. The straight line performance though, is simply epic. On a hard charge, the RS III storms through 100kph in 3.2 seconds and on to 347kph through the paddle shift 'box.
The V10 RS III is part of a strictly limited batch of just 30 examples hand built at Vermot AG's plant in Gelsdorf, Germany. The company has only 15 staff working on the Veritas, putting together one each at the plant's three workstations, taking eight weeks to complete production of one car.
