Remember about a year ago when I talked about that car that was able to stay close to me. It was a car that I had never seen before but I didn't know what it was.

I ran into the guy yesterday in Carmel. I recognized the car again and after talking we both realized we were the same people that ran each other so long ago.

Any rate, the car is a Spyker C8. It weights about 2900 pounds and has 620 bhp. The car is made in the Netherlands.

 

620hp????? WTF? What did he do to it. These are usually barely in the 400hp range!

 

Hey Chad - i just sat in one the other day in the city at Manhatten Motorcars - very cool car - love the design

 

According to the owner, they come stock from the factory with four different power options. Of course you have to choose the one you want at the time of the order.

 

I saw that Spyker down in Amelia Island Fl at the Concours about 3 years ago, its attracted lots of attention and sounded very exotic.

 

Pretty cool ... I had only heard about the 400hp engine, with a 500hp engine in dvpt ... Nice.
I don't quite like the exterior (especially with the top), but the interior is perhaps the most beautiful of all-time automotive production ...

 

Yes i remember. Spykers are very fast.

 

very insane... but i havent seen too much press. are they still in production?




of course...

 

Yes the Spyker is very impressive.The 400hp version has the Audi S8 engine with some modifications.The 620hp is the LeMans version with the longer rear,i guess or not.

The Spyker C8 Double12 S has a 3999 cc motor. It redlines at 9500 rpm's. It comes in five stages 400, 450, 500, 550 and 620 bhp. The car weighs 2970 pounds.

 

impressive as hell.

as for aethsetics, if the chrome was replaced with brushed aluminum, i'd be all over it.

 

how much???? haha

 

(lame excuse man)
the chrome can easily be MODified to suit!!

 

Rear looks strange. I dont like the chromed intakes but the rest of the car is nice.

 

is it not one of the coolest interiors? It looks like a ****ing rolex
