LOOKY What I Saw Today

Tell me it looks better in person!

 

Go back and hold the camera straight, you gave me a crick in my neck......LOL!

That's too wierd.......I thought the '71 Trans Am dash was gaudy!! YIKES!

 

Stupid question what is it?

 

A Spyker

 

It's called a Spyker C8. Call me crazy but I love them. I think they're so cool. The interior is amazing. I think I'm going to have to make a trip down to Manhattan Motorcars this weekend to see that thing. I've only seen them in person two or three times. Thanks for sharing the pictures!

 

Extrerior looks cool. I kinda like the "70's Trans Am" dash. That steering wheel and those glory hole windows are terrible.

 

Pretty Bizarre, I guess now I know what Capt Nemo would drive LOL

 

I like the anchor on the rear.

 

Thanks for the pics, but I need to get a pet peeve off my chest.

Why do people think that turning the camera at 45 degrees makes any picture "artsy". When done RIGHT, its a good technique. When done wrong, its just aggravating. Its like when web designers with no taste discovered animated GIF's and loaded their sites with them - a la Homer Simpson.

The camera tilt *can* be a good technique *sometimes*, but in 50 shots, one tilt shot is probably enough.

 

interior is interesting. what sort of engine does it have

 

Audi 4.2

I have been in one and they are quick. Very sporty ride if you know what I mean.

cool car all in all

 

Ugliest steering wheel ever :|

 

Is it an automatic or like a sequential gearbox?

 

70's Trans Am? How about 1930's art deco. You gotta see it in person, not one inch of plastic anywhere in the interior. All switches are billet. Everything is covered in leather. Looks much better in person.

Darrell.

 

It's like a song that is "remixed" to make it longer. It's like adding an extra slice of bread on each side of a sandwich. It doesn't make it any "better", only thicker.
Now back to the goofy retro-mobile.

 

SWEEETT!! I love silver C8's. Third favorite car, close behind the F50 and Carrera GT. So awesome!

 

Fugly.

 

The basic shape is really nice, but it has too many doodads - it's the lovechild of a DB7 and a Zonda F.

While I think swirl-brushed metal is very cool, something tells me that the dash of that car probably has a LOT of glare.

 

Way too busy.

As my wife (an interior designer) says, great design is not what you put in, but what you leave out.

 

Thanks for the pics. Here are some more flattering pictures for those of you that aren't familiar with the car.

Still looks like they're trying too hard.

 

Neither. It sure looks like a 6 speed to me. You can see the linkage dude.

 

OH i see it now, my eyes were playing tricks on me. I thought that bar on the bottom was a slot in the console.
