Pure passion. Absolute dedication. And the unalterable belief in authentic and uncompromising motor racing. This is the stuff of automobile legends. And why they remain unforgettable.

The Veritas RS III, the modern version of the first German Formula 1 racing car, leaves you in no doubt about its heritage thanks to its impressive design, perfect engineering and incomparable responses.

After all, the 600 PS of the V10* engine need to be mastered – without the invisible help of today's otherwise omnipresent electronic aids, such as anti-skid brakes, traction control and power brakes.

The Veritas RS III recreates the pure feeling and fascination of an authentic racing car: true race feeling.
