Every couple of years Spyker, the Nederlander supercar marque released in 1999, appears by having an incredibly awesome special edition supercar, grabs headlines after which fades out again just like rapidly. Profits have proven somewhat elusive as well as in 2014 the company declared the same as Chapter 11.
Will their latest high-finish hotrod, the C8 Preliator, just revealed in the Geneva Motor Show, have them back on solid tarmac? It certainly packs lots of attractiveness and drool-worthy design. We believe the special edition run of fifty cars having a beginning cost of approximately $355,000 will fly from the showroom pretty rapidly.
Although the Preliator is not greatly different in looks towards the last C8 model Spyker demonstrated (in '09), that isn't always a poor factor. Also it now includes a supercharged form of the C8's Audi 4.2-liter V-8 engine with 532 hp and 443 foot lbs of torque, a -62 clock of three.7 seconds along with a top speed of 201 miles per hour.
Spyker got its name from a mature company founded in 1880 which built planes During The First World War, and also the marque plays heavily about this "aviation heritage." The C8 Preliator is made to be a “road jet”, also known as an airplane without wings, and therefore includes a mind-up display inspired with a fighter jet's cockpit as well as other items of retro-awesome instrumentation.
The vehicle can also be highly easy to customize to ensure that theoretically a minimum of no two coupes, put together manually in Coventry, United kingdom, is going to be exactly alike, that is certain to attract would-be proprietors. Although frankly to become one of the lucky 50 has already been distinction enough...
