2000\u21922011 Spyker C8 Spyder<\/h1>\n
\n

he Spyker C8 Spyder was the first modern Spyker unveiled after Victor Muller reintroduced the brand in 2000. Unveiled at the Birmingham Motor Show in 2000, the stunning C8 Spyder was the highly successful first realisation of Muller\u2019s vision of a company producing what no other automotive brand does: a beautiful supercar of utmost quality and craftsmanship with the performance to match its exquisite uncompromised interior and stunning exterior design. And the C8 Spyder sports direct references to the aviation heritage of the first trailblazing Spyker company of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. At its launch it represented the start of an incredible journey and it remains an iconic supercar. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Spyker C8 Laviolette fixed head coupe soon followed the C8 Spyder. Launched at the Amsterdam Motor Show in February 2001 and technically similar to the C8 Spyder, the C8 Laviolette is an elegant car which offers all the excitement of driving in a high power sports coupe \u2013 its glass canopy reminiscent of a modern jet fighter.<\/p>\n

Spyker C8 Spyder<\/h4>\n

As the first modern day Spyker, the C8 Spyder was conceived with powerful styling that boasts purposeful, bold and distinctive lines. The C8 Spyder was designed to remain timeless, and looks as impressive and relevant today as it did at launch more than ten years ago.<\/p>\n

At the heart of the styling of the C8 Spyder is an explicit recognition of Spyker\u2019s aviation heritage. This is exhibited through the countless design cues paying homage to early propeller aircraft, such as the exterior side-mounted polished aluminium air intake scoops behind the doors and, inside, the propeller rotor dash air vents.<\/p>\n

Further bold styling statements include the wing mirrors, which are mounted within dramatic single-piece sculpted polished aluminium arms which extend gracefully from the top of the forward edge of the door. The electric\/hydraulic-lift scissor doors provide a sense of high drama every time the driver and passenger enter and exit the cabin.<\/p>\n

The lightweight manually-operated one-piece fabric roof is available in fifteen standard colours, or in the customer\u2019s colour of choice as an option. The car was designed from the outset as a Spyder, and as such the strength of the A-pillars was deliberately specified to allow the omission of a header rail atop the windscreen. As there is no obstruction from the top of the dashboard and the bonnet line to beyond the vertical, the view for driver and passenger is unspoilt, pure and utterly spectacular. This harks back to vintage cabriolets of the first half of the last century and is unique amongst modern supercars.<\/p>\n

Large capacity V8<\/h4>\n

Power for the C8 Spyder and C8 Laviolette models is provided by a naturally aspirated 4.2-litre Audi petrol engine, which is also fitted in Spyker\u2019s new flagship C8 Aileron. This highly responsive 90-degree V8 power unit generates 400 ps at 6,800 rpm and an immense wave of torque with 480 Nm at just 3,500 rpm. Drive to the rear wheels is transferred through a manual six-speed Getrag gearbox.<\/p>\n

With excellent power-to-weight ratios, both the C8 Spyder and C8 Laviolette accelerate from 0-to-100 kph in just 4.5 seconds and go on to reach a top speed of 300 kph.<\/p>\n

Lightweight chassis<\/h4>\n

The short wheelbase models \u2013 so-called because the all-new Aileron boasts a longer wheelbase \u2013 feature a lightweight all-aluminium spaceframe structure. Although the C8 Laviolette is fractionally heavier than its open top counterpart (a mere 25 kilograms) it matches the impressive performance, agility and handling of the C8 Spyder.<\/p>\n

Every short wheelbase Spyker C8 features fully adjustable suspension fabricated in stainless steel. To suit the wishes of its owner, a choice of \u2018comfort\u2019 and \u2018competition\u2019 set-ups is available, so the car can just as easily be configured for a long cross-country grand tour or a flat-out stint at the racetrack. This adjustability not only makes the iconic C8 supercars very versatile, it also reminds owners of the old days of motoring and racing, when many sportscar owners drove to the racetrack in the same car in which they competed.<\/p>\n

Brakes, wheels and tyres<\/h4>\n

The C8 Spyder and C8 Laviolette are both fitted with a twin-circuit braking system with an adjustable brake balance, large diameter 356 mm (front) and 330 mm (rear) ventilated disc brakes, plus powerful six-piston aluminium brake calipers (front), four-piston aluminium brake calipers (rear).<\/p>\n

Every Spyker shows its class in its details \u2013 as demonstrated by the standard and optional alloy wheels available for the short wheelbase cars. The 18-inch diameter ATS forged alloy rims feature single central locking wheel nuts and are fitted with 225\/40ZR 18 (front) and 255\/35ZR 18 (rear) tyres.<\/p>\n

The optional magnesium 19-inch Aeroblade\u2122 wheels not only look beautiful, they also enhance the car\u2018s performance. The special wheel design features the propeller motif from Spyker\u2018s logo and the streamlining and angle of the spokes helps to cool the brakes, while also improving aerodynamic properties of the car\u2018s ground effect.<\/p>\n

Superbly comfortable<\/h4>\n

As appropriate for an all-aluminium, hand-built, mid-engined supercar with aerodynamic ground effect and electrically operated single-hinge tilting doors, the short wheelbase Spyker C8 cabin is superbly comfortable with a very special luxurious ambience. Leather is sourced from the Hulshof Royal Dutch Tanneries, renowned for high quality and the sensory soft-touch suppleness of their hides.<\/p>\n

Both the C8 Spyder\u2019s header-less windscreen and the C8 Laviolette\u2019s glass canopy ensure excellent views of the outside world, while inside the Hulshof leather trimmed sport seats give excellent support and the adjustable steering column and pedal box ensure that a \u2018perfect\u2019 driving position can be achieved by all drivers. Close at hand, the gear shift selector which sits on the unique exposed transmission mechanism, is not only a beautiful design, but also delivers fast and accurate gearshifts.<\/p>\n

The high-quality finish of the interior, with its leather trimming and aluminium detailing, underlines the performance-focused aviation-inspired design of the short wheelbase modern Spyker.<\/p>\n

The dashboard finish and instrument gauges are a treat for the eyes and are exceptionally satisfying to the touch. The exquisitely detailed toggle switches provide visual clues to the racing heritage of this Spyker, while a dashboard designed by the renowned<\/p>\n
