Veritas RS III to Star at Salon Prive

As we told you in our previous report, yet another exclusive show is about to open its doors, this time in July. After tagging and bagging the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, the 2009 calendar continues with the Salon Prive, to be held within the premises of London’s Hurlingham Club.

Of course, the yard will be filled with rare, expensive and limited edition vehicles. Among them, the Veritas RS III, according to a report by autoblog.com. The open-top, built in only 50 units, boasts two BMW M engines, developing either 480 horsepower (from the V8 unit) or 600 horsepower (from the V10 engine).

Those power outputs are enough to make the Veritas hit 60 in under three seconds and top at 200 mph (321 km/hour), without getting any help from electronic enhancements. Of course, for the uniqueness and performances of the car, your accounts must be loaded. The Veritas RS III has a starting price of $375,000.

The Veritas RS III is rumored to receive both a hard top coupe version and even a GT version, both of them scheduled for introduction towards the end of the year, but such a development is yet to be confirmed.

Alongside the Veritas, the £125 one-day entrance pass will give those interested tho opportunity to witness several other unique creations. The grounds of the Hurlingham Club will be host to the Maybach Zeppelin, Maserati GranTurismo S Automatic and Quattroporte Sport GT S, as well as the pride of the British manufacturer Aston Martin, the One-77. The Aston Martin range will be completed by the V12 Vantage and the DBS Volante.
