:eek:OMG:eek:

some folk over Autoblog (http://www.autoblog.com) took a shoot of what it seems to be a Veritas RS3 Concept of some years ago...at the beginning they didn't recognize the car, until a user suggested the solution of the enigma...
here comes the link and as the pic as an attachment

well, first: i always liked this car, so i posted.:)
second: it's a 2001 concept car, what is it doing on the ring 7 years later? so i posted.:)
third: it has the BMW V12 LMR's engine, without air-restrictors, and it shoulf be good for something like 700 hp, so i found it pretty interesting...so in posted.:)

After close look it's indeed a bit different than old RS III (air intake, headlights). Maybe this is new RS III or production version?

they could've made an update. they may plan to relaunch it. what'd be the better and cheaper ad than setting the new record? :D

VIDEO: Confirmed! Veritas testing at the Nurburgring - Autoblog (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/07/video-confirmed-veritas-testing-at-the-nurburgring/)

it is confirmed, maybe they will unveil this new version at september Paris autoshow. it's a shame the video wasn't taken when the car started the engine...

Spied: Veritas RS3 (http://www.leftlanenews.com/veritas-rs3.html)

and i know it have been spotted on the road.
my personal thought, or hope, is that this could be an evolution of the H2R concept, even if i don't know how much Veritas is officially connected to BMW.
it could use the last iteration of the 7 Hydrogen's engine...
i don't think it is just a refreshed or even a new concept, it doesn't make any sense to built two concepts in 7 years and not producing a single car. i can understand the first as a sort of ad campaign, but this could be a "production-ready" one. at least, i would like.

i find astonishing that there are still people willing to produce such cars, in these days of SUV and standard car, this is something just a true "gentleman driver" can understand, an afford i guess...
i would be very interested in a 2-seater open version, looking forward for the coupe!

is that assumption based on your own quality of driving?

he is also considering to have enough speed to lift a SUV in order to have his head cut away. :D

Published price: 280 -330,000 pounds. Thats some serious Pagani and Koenigsegg territory. Brave venture, very brave.
