In Deutschland, Veritas

More than 50 years ago, a handful of BMW employees went rogue and began building racing cars based on prewar Bimmers. They dubbed the line Veritas, and built about 75 vehicles before shutting down the operation in 1952. Then in 2001, a handful of enthusiasts resuscitated the name for the RS III concept (pictured), and now Autoblog reports the car will finally be produced later this year. It'll carry a tuned version of BMW's 5-liter V-10 under the hood, good for 600 horsepower and a 0-to-60 time of 3.2 seconds. It probably won't come cheap—only 50 will be made
