Spyker Cars -

Since October 2000 when the Spyker C8 Spyder was unveiled at the Birmingham Motor Show, Spyker has established a strong foothold in the super car market niche. Hand build in the best tradition of the old Spykers by the most dedicated craftsmen of our time using the very best materials available. Created with passion for the most passionate of drivers.

For owners who are desirous for a car built specifically for them, a car combining classic beauty with state of the art technology. For owners who appreciate spectacular performance, put to the test in the international race arena. And for owners who value exclusivity over today's world of mass production.

The Spyker C8 Spyder won instant acclaim and was awarded the 2000 Institute of Vehicle Engineers Design Award on 18 October 2000.

The Spyker C8 Laviolette, a coupe reminiscent of modern jet fighters was shown at the Amsterdam Motor Show in February 2001. And subsequently the Spyker Double12 R, Spyker's Le Mans endurance racer, was the IAA in Frankfurt in September 2001.

At the Amsterdam Motor Show in February 2003 Spyker announced that it would unveil a twin turbo variant of its C8 Spyder at the IAA. In cooperation with Cosworth Technology of North Hampton (www.cosworth-technology.co.uk), a wholly owned Audi subsidiary, the Audi V8 twin turbo engine is prepared for use in a Spyker C8 Spyder. In order to cope with the increased engine output (525 instead of 400 BHP) the Spyker C8 Spyder T has a wider track, extended wheel arches incorporated into the body



and a small rear spoiler. Moreover, the car has additional front wing louvres, sill louvres and Koni's newest four way F1 show absorbers. It is anticipated that the Spyder T will go into production into the second half of 2004 with the intention of building 25 prior to the 2005 race season and to homologate it for events both under ACO (Le Mans and American Le Mans series rules) as well as under FIA GT rules. The launch of the Spyker C8 Spyker TR is expected in the 3rd quarter of 2004 and will be campaigned alongside the continuing Double12 program.

I'm going to x-post this on rs6.com

I could see it mounted its side on a wood plaque, you hit a little red button and thing bends and the front end starts talking to ya.... :-)

Otherwise the idea isn't bad; get an RS6 motor toss it in a vehicle that weighs 2640 pounds. It sounds like a good equation to me.

the F360 parked next to it. Dashboard looks like a WWI plane with swirl-brushed aluminum. A little cheesy but executed very well. You would definitely be the only guy in town driving it as opposed to passing F360 Spyders all the time in Scottsdale.
