Powered by a 600hp BMW V10 or 480hp V8 engine, the Veritas RS III “will tip the scales at just under 2,400 pounds and is made up of a tubular frame and a carbon/Kevlar body.” What is available is a choice of two drivetrains: a BMW-sourced, 600 hp 5.0-liter V10 mated to a sequential transmission or a 480 hp, 5.0-liter V8 equipped with a manual gearbox. Vermot estimates that the V10 will run to 62 in 3.2 seconds, while the V8 can do the deed in 3.6 seconds. Top speed is predicted at 215 mph and 204 mph, respectively.

Pricing hasn’t been announced yet, but with an independent suspension, Ohlins shocks, TRW Racing 6-pot brakes, Brabham wheels sized 20×10.5 in front and 20×12.5 in the rear, don’t expect it to come cheap.
