After a virtual disappearance from motor racing and automotive engineering for nearly 50 years, a small company known as Vermot AG] plans on "resurrecting" the Veritas name on a planned model known as the RS III.
In 2001, a concept known as the Veritas RS3 was shown. With some design cues taken from boats, in which Vermot explored the market at one time, it was well received. It used a BMW sourced 6.0 liter V-12, producing 670 horsepower (500 kW).
In 2008, it was announced that Vermot AG was to take serious efforts towards producing the RS III.
Production and testing began in early 2008, with the RS III spotted testing on tracks in May 2008, and Vermot AG has released a general release date for the end of 2008. It runs on a BMW sourced 5.0 liter V-10 that generates 600 horsepower (450 kW). Weight will be kept down to 2,360 pounds due to the extensive use of light materials, and performance figures of 0–60 in 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 216 miles per hour (348 km/h) are likely, according to Vermot AG. Production will be around 50 models per year.
In 2009, at London's Salon Privé, Veritas RS III Roadster super sports car won the "Best Super Car 2009" award. Strictly limited hand production of only 30 vehicles started by Vermot in Gelsdorf.

2001 präsentierte die VerMot AG aus Gelsdorf im Landkreis Ahrweiler in Rheinland-Pfalz ein Concept Car eines neuen offenen Sportwagens unter dem historischen Markennamen Veritas. Als Motorisierung des Veritas RS III war damals ein 492 kW (670 PS) starker BMW-V12-Motor vorgesehen. Nach längerer Entwicklungszeit erschien 2008 ein fahrbereiter Prototyp und der Beginn der Serienfertigung wurde für 2009 angekündigt. Als Antriebsquelle sollen dabei ein BMW-V10- oder BMW-V8-Motor zur Wahl stehen, die 441 kW (600 PS) bzw. 353 kW (480 PS) leisten. Der Sportwagen mit einer Karosserie aus Karbon und Kevlar soll eine Spitzengeschwindigkeit von bis zu 347 Kilometer pro Stunde erreichen. In Tests benötigte der Veritas RS III je nach Aggregat 3,2 oder 3,6 Sekunden, um von 0 auf 100 km/h zu beschleunigen. Nach Angabe des Herstellers bauen 15 Mitarbeiter den Wagen in einer Kleinserie von 30 Exemplaren.

Spotted this 1990 Peugeot 205 1.9 GTi hiding in a back street, in need of love and attention. These iconic French cars ooze character, and are one of the all-time best drivers' cars. * To my dear friends outside the UK, the steering wheel happens to be on the RIGHT side ;)
