Just last week we asked you to help us identify a mystery car we caught on the Nuerburgring Web cam. Knowledgeable reader PandaBeat guessed it was the Veritas RS3 Concept car and won the admiration and respect of the staff, if not other readers.

We’ve again spied this odd car while checking the Web cam, as well as eagle-eyed readers Eric Recher and Cole Eswein who sent us more evidence. With these much-improved views, we can see that if it is the Veritas, it has grown a hood scoop and some aerodynamic aids beneath its chin, as well as sprouted larger headlamps that wrap above the front fenders.

So does this confirm that our mystery car is the Veritas Concept from 2001 with a few updates? Or are we looking at a new Veritas concept? Is this testing of a production prototype or an entirely different car?

Wednesday, I was surfing the Internets on my iPhone, checking all my usual sites, one of which is the Nuerburgring Web cam. Usually I either get pictures of an empty staging area or darkness. But this time I got the photo you see above. And, yes, we realize the quality isn’t that great. I had to take a picture of my iPhone’s screen since it’s incapable of sending or downloading photos from the Net. But maybe that will be fixed in June.

Various Autoblog team members have taken guesses at what this mystery car might be, but we can’t definitively pin it down. Someone guessed the Gumpert Apollo Hybrid. Another guess was a Le Mans prototype of some sort. I’m not convinced it’s either.

So we present this Web cam mystery to our readers. Anyone have any clue what this might be? Click on the photo for a larger (yet no less blurry) photo.
