Here’s what we saw the latest days testing at Nurburgring: the latest project from Veritas, RS III. It will be limited to only 50 vehicles per year, with first deliveries expected to begin at the end of 2008.
The one-seater sport roadster is based on a monocoque frame while its body is made entirely from carbon-kevlar. Power comes from a supped up BMW M5 5.0-liter V10 engine that develops 600 Hp. Tipping the scale at 1,070 kg or 2,360 lbs, the RS III can go from zero to 100 km/h or 62 mph in just 3.2 sec and on to a top speed of 347 km/h or 216 mph.
A hardtop coupe version will also be unveiled in 2009.
