RE: Spyker C8 Spyder: Spotted
Discussion
It looks like everything that's bad about the kit car industry today. Unresolved design features, hideous slats and vents everywhere, a diffuser that is huge but won't do anything, high weight for the sporting pretentions...and then you realise that it isn't a kit car.
I can think of many other cars to spend £110k on.

I can appreciate the styling isn't to everyone's taste, but high weight? You realise it's only 150kg heavier than a Ferrari F40?I can think of many other cars to spend £110k on.
I like these ridiculous cars - it isn't trying to please 'all of the people, all of the time'. If I had the money, I'm not sure it's what I'd buy, but the world needs cars like this to offset the blandness of a lot of modern sports cars. They sound amazing too, more cars need to have that brawny V8 sound.

Bottom of the ad has 109995 and top has 119995, while their own website has 119995.
So either they've noticed the PH ad and hastily put 10K on the price tag, or PH didn't look too closely and have mislead their readership. (And that 10K might cover the first year's insurance...)
Hmm. Pretty sure it was £109k when I looked at the advert earlier.....So either they've noticed the PH ad and hastily put 10K on the price tag, or PH didn't look too closely and have mislead their readership. (And that 10K might cover the first year's insurance...)
Any way for someone at PH towers to check (just out of interest).

It's only got 400hp. Compare that with it's contemporaries, let alone modern stuff and it ain't that clever.
Being launched in 2000, its contemporary would have been, for example, a 360 Modena. Same power, 140kg more. So for a few years, it was still in the game. Only later on did it get left behind (at least on stats alone).Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
