    One of just a handful Spyker C8 Double 12 S's, which is situated in China. An 'interesting' colour combo: blue exterior, purple interior.

    I think this is the best Spyker model so far. Never really got wild over the Spyder. The Laviolette and the Double 12 I like most. The D12 (or D8, I should say now) Peking-to-Paris I also think is just awesome.


    What do you think? Any pics of other Double 12's? I'm interested in hearing whether you like this Spyker model and what you think about the colour combo.

    You beat me to it. The rear deck is too long. The metal scoops/headlight buckets look awkward. The tail looks like some japanese toy from the '70s. Hideous.

    it looks awkward from most angles. I've seen a few of them, twice in real life. Even so i found it extremely hard to actually like it.

    I do appreciate the car though...amazing detail on it (perhaps to much though?).

    But if i wanted a crazy car, for the same money i'd get myself an LP640 (or if we're being smart, a second hand murcielago and a 550 maranello lol).

    These are horrible pictures of Spykers! Try it in black...maybe it'll change your mind?...

    Heres the Power of it in 5 stages:

    400 BHP (Stage I)

    450 BHP (Stage II)

    500 BHP (Stage III)

    550 BHP (Stage IV)

    620 BHP (Stage V)
    ---------------------------------------------------

    I happen to love it in black with the rivets...

    Its a bit pricey though($355,000 according to *************)...I'd choose these 3 cars anyway!

    1-2008 Ariel Atom 500 (New 500 hp version)
    2-Ferrari 550 Maranello
    3-1967 Pontiac GTO (Really tuned with blower!)
