The Veritas name is back after a short but storied history. The West Germany race car company got its start tuning BMW 238 models after WWII and competing them in FIA World Championships. However, by the early-’50s, the company disappeared from the scene due to lack of funding. Back in 2001, Vermot AG resurrected the Veritas name and its classic styling with the introduction of their Veritas RS III concept car. Now the company will be entering their concept into production for a price of €345,000 ($516,016), with 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.

The RS III Roadster will feature a tubular frame with lightweight carbon fiber body panels to keep weight down to a svelte 2,381 pounds. Continuing with its history of tinkering with BMW engines, Veritas is using the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V10, producing 507 hp with 380 lb-ft of torque, allowing the car to spring from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.2 seconds with a top speed of 216 mph.
