The Veritas RS III is a super-sports car from Germany-based Vermot AG. Veritas was founded in 1948 and went on to successfully compete in German Championship races. In 1951 Veritas became the first German team to compete in a Formula 1 Grand Prix. Unfortunately, due to financial problems Veritas closed its doors in 1952. In 2001 the Veritas name was resurrected on the RS3 concept which first appeared as a BMW V12 powered car.

The Veritas RS III concept of 2008 is different from the 2001 car several areas. Firstly the new car has a choice of engine, either a 480 horsepower, 5.0 litre, BMW V8 mated to a manual transmission. Or a 600 horsepower BMW V10 with sequential transmission. The V8 unit gives the Veritas RS III a 0-60 mph time of 3.6 seconds, the V10 model takes only 3.2 seconds to hit 60 mph. Top speeds are 204 mph and 215 mph respectively. All the power and performance is put down onto the road without the electronic driver aids found on most modern supercars - making the Veritas RS III a car dedicated to experienced driving enthusiasts.

The body of the Veritas RS III is formed from carbon Kevlar laid over a tubular framework chassis. This lightweight construction method helps to keep the weight around 1100 kgs.

To keep the handling pin-sharp the Veritas RS III uses independent Öhlins suspension. While the braking duties are taken care of by TRW Racing units with 6 piston calipers up front and 4 piston calipers at the rear.

Veritas plan to produce a maximum of 50 RS III cars annually. In 2009 a hardtop version, the RS III Coupé and and a exclusive Veritas GT model should enter production.

Massaging backpack
  How nice it is if you could have your loved one or your significant other to give you a good massage on your back, while you’re working hard in front of your computer screen. We all know that we definitely need this sweet service. But for those unlucky ones who are still single would be little hard to get this extra service unless you pay for it.Now there seems to be an easy way getting your back well massaged to get rid of all the pain that you’ve accumulated due to long hours of working in front of the computer. The Massaging backpack is something that you’ll need to carry at your back. And for sure, this backpack is totally different from any other backpack that you’re used to, which it doesn’t give you any burden. What it does is to give a good massage and take the pain off your back. The Massaging backpack allows some nice vibration on your back to get you more relaxed. Since you can just carry it on your back like a backpack, meaning while you’re sitting in front of the computer, or you’re on the go, it’ll always vibrate and give you a nice relief of stress. Apparently, it gives nice stimulus to the shoulders, as well as your shoulder blades. It comes with a remote control that you can control its speed and turn on or off whenever you need it or you feel that it’s enough. But the little downside is the remote control is attached to the backpack with a wire, which you’ll definitely think that a wireless remote control should have come in much handier without the hassle of tangling wires.
