2012 Veritas RSIII Roadster is the World’s Fastest Plug-in Hybrid.

If you’re a fan of limited-production, borderline ridiculous and highly impractical speed machines, the wild, one-seater 2012 Veritas RS III Hybrid Roadster is no stranger to you. The latest addition, the Veritas RSIII Roadster Hybrid, however, may be. But before we get a taste of those, the company is dipping a pinky toe into electric waters with the introduction of the Veritas RSIII Hybrid.

The 2012 Veritas RS III Hybrid is said to be adding a 105 kilowatt electric motor that will send the power to the front wheels to the V10 setup, adding 500lbs to the mix. This will leave the Veritas with a still respectable curb weight of 2,821 pounds. It will also be utilizing the Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) to power the battery while braking. The Veritas III will have an average of 31 miles on electric power alone while driving at city speeds, but the V10 will be ready when the driver slams down on the pedal. For some numbers that we can really sink our teeth into, the 2012 Veritas RS III Hybrid will be able to get from 0-62mph in only 3.1 seconds (standard model does it in 3.2), while top speed sits at 205mph.

Despite the addition of 500 pounds in electric motor and battery pack, the svelte roadster still weighs just 2,821 pounds. For more details, hit the link below. Anyone interested in the 2012 Veritas RS III Hybrid better start packing their piggy bank with something larger than quarters. TRANSLOGIC is reporting that the hybrid Veritas is expected to be priced at around $500K.
