I think the folks over at Bitter must be smoking some serious crack.

Why would someone want to buy this monstrosity when you get better styled cars with the top German three, better features and more importantly, renowned names.

Sure, Bitter built some exotics during the late 1970s and 1980s but these were flops for the most part and there is no way this Holden-based car should be priced at $120,000+.




Bitter launches Holden-based Vero saloon
Posted on Wednesday 17 October 2007



German automotive outfit Bitter Cars has unveiled a new flagship saloon called the Vero, built to rival cars like the Audi A8 and BMW 7-series. The new car is based on the Australian built Holden Statesman but gets a revised front-end and an upgraded interior to partially justify its exorbitant €121,975 price tag. The car stretches almost 5.2m in length and has a generous wheelbase of over 3m, which provides acres of legroom for rear seat passengers.


Bitter hopes to sell up to 100 copies of the Vero annually but to break even it must sell at least 30 cars per year, reports Automotive News Europe. The first market to receive the Vero is Germany but it will soon be available in France, Spain, Switzerland and Belgium.

Under the hood lies a Gen IV V8 engine with 360hp (270kW) and peak torque of 590Nm, available from 6.0L of displacement. Differentiating it from its Holden donor car is a new bumper with a Bitter lattice grill, a carbon-fiber hood, quad exhaust pipes and 20in alloy wheels.

The car comes with an extensive list of standard equipment, picking up bi-xenon headlights, a Bose stereo system, an LCD satnav system and full leather and wood trim.

Yep saw it too... In the inside, you just have better leather than in the standard Holden (not hard) and that's it...The outside is ugly... yes it is a bit longer than the standard, but honestly... What did they smoke? As expensive as an S500 and friends, you have a barely modified Holden Stateman...
