367PS 4-door saloon.

Small German manufacturer Bitter {link} have worked their magic on the Holden Caprice creating the Vero. With 367PS and 530Nm of torque the Vero would appear to be aimed at the AMG / M Power / RS market sector for big 4 door saloons. It measure 5.2 meters and comes with a 6-litre V8 engine mated to a 5 speed automatic gearbox. Bitter’s Vero differs from the Holden not as much as one would possibly expect. The front radiator grille is the most obvious difference along with the 4 tail pipe exhaust system. Erich Bitter and his company has focused mainly on ensuring the Vero handles well thus the suspension has been carefully tailored to European road conditions. Internally there is alcantara and leather galore plus a Bose sound system and DVD fitted. The Bitter Vero is a powerful and interesting option to traditional South German power saloons and at around £87,000 isn’t excessively over priced.
