Veritas

Veritas has a short but storied history. After WWII, this West German race car company got its start tuning BMW 328 models and competing in FIA World Championships. And from the late 40s to the early 50s the company produced road cars in very small runs. But Veritas was significantly underfunded and disappeared from the scene even though their RS chassis was a popular design. Fast forward 50 years and Vermot AG has resurrected the Veritas name and classic styling with the introduction of the Veritas RS III Concept back in 2001.

Now, the company has officially announced that the Veritas RS III Roadster will be entering production immediately with the initial customers getting their cars as early as January 2010. In total, 30 cars will be produced by the small 15 person staff in Grafschaft-Gelsdorf, who will work painstakingly on each vehicle for around 8 weeks. Solving the under-capitalization problem, buyers must be able to afford the €345,000 (US$516,016) price tag.
