If you want the skinny, here it is (try the link, though, it is good) This car uses an Audi 4.2L V8 with 420hp. It utilitzes a lot of aluminum, and the rear suspension in similiar to an F1 cars, re, the coil-overs are inbound, on top of the engine. The car draws alot from airplanes.
Top Gear (or CAR) tested it, and they found it to be remarkably well done, very refined and well screwed together. This car was made in the guys shed! They should be in production soon, if he can get financing and some luck.

Car magazine (January 2002, page 67):

"Worst cars of the year"

"Spyker C8: This fat, ugly Dutch GT is the automotive epitome of bad taste."

The July 2001 issue of Top Gear. Page 16-18. Tiff Needel drove the car, and liked it. And Tiff's word is gospel (almost).

That is a pretty cool looking car. I wonder if we'll ever see anything like that on the road.

I saw the Spyker at the 2001 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. It is different, but it seems like a car someone buys just to be different. I don't get the feelingit an exceptional car. I was more impressed withthe Zhonda I saw at Pebble in 2000.

Re: Spyker 2001

I saw a Spyker Spider driving in Amsterdam in a couple of Sunday afternoon's ago. They look, on the website at least, simply stunning, with exquisite detail.
