Well, Veritas built the first prototype using the 5.0L V8 480-hp engine and decided to put it on display at a local dealership in Moenchengladbach, Germany. Some how, two fans convinced the manager of the dealership to let them take the Veritas RS III for a spin.

The two men Fans Martin Holtz, 44, and Friedrich Voller, 53, ended up losing control of the 480-hp Veritas III crashing it into a lamp-post. Police arrested the two men after they tried to flee from the crash.

The passenger side of the car is covered (and can be opened like a T-Top) however it has a seat.

Not easily discernable until you look at one of the pictures on the linked sight.

How big a loser would these 2 guys have to be...Of course, maybe not as big as the idiot who let them drive it.

Right, was a cash fee provided to basically drive a million-dollar concept? And how much damage did they do to it?

Would this same dealer let them test drive a Veyron? May be not. Hope Veritas is stickin'-it to 'em (the dealer) good...b/c he shouldn't have let anybody drive the car initially.
