StarLight Garage presents another Spyker, the Spyker C8 Double 12 S.
The Double 12 S is in fact the street legal version of the 12 R.
The car suggested has a gorgeous two tone which I wish PD could deliver with Christmas.
The Spyker is a different kind of supercar. Small, light, and exquisitely made, the Spyker C8 has been likened to an expensive mechanical watch—there are other, much cheaper products that can do its job, but they don't have the same sense of precision, nor do they give the owner the same pleasure. The Spyker factory in Holland will make only 32 cars this year.
To recap, we first encountered the Spyker C8 at the British International Motor Show in 2000. Its chassis is a space frame made from welded aluminum sheets and extrusions. The body panels are also aluminum, hand-formed and riveted. Power comes from a 400-hp, 4.2-liter Audi V-8 mounted amidships with a six-speed transaxle. It is intended as a "pure" driving experience and does so without electronic driver aids, but it has mighty AP Racing brakes and inboard F1-style Koni adjustable shock absorbers. Weighing just 2200 pounds, the claimed top speed is 186 mph, and 0 to 60 is said to take just 4.5 seconds.
The Spyker C8 Double 12 S can be delivered in five engine outputs.
400 BHP (Stage I)
450 BHP (Stage II)
500 BHP (Stage III)
550 BHP (Stage IV)
620 BHP (Stage V)
