Originally founded in the Netherlands in 1880 as a producer of carriages, Spyker pivoted to create fighter planes at the outset of the World War I but eventually went under in 1925. However, the name was revived in 2000, and now Spyker produces boutique high-end sports cars, the latest of which is dubbed the C8 Preliator. The coupe iteration was introduced in 2016, while the drop-top Spyder was introduced a year later at the 2017 Geneva International Motor Show rocking a fresh powerplant courtesy of the power-hungry folks at Koenigsegg Automotive.
The Spyker C8 Preliator marks the next step in Spyker Cars' evolution. The 2-door mid-engine sports car will offer the discerning driver of the highest standards a new choice, delivering a rare combination of heritage, design, craftsmanship, performance and exclusivity. Highly detailed design, bespoke materials and aviation-inspired elements are a core part of the Spyker DNA. Spyker's third-generation sports car features design cues from jet propulsion aircraft, highlighting the turbine blade, NACA duct air inlets and little wings, ailerons, to improve the car's aerodynamic performance.
With sleek aerodynamics, a long GT-wheelbase, luxurious and spacious cabin and world-class drivetrain, the new C8 Preliator has broadened the appeal of the Spyker brand while maintaining the marque’s exclusivity.
The Spyker C8 Preliator is the epitome of our unrivalled craftsmanship, its contemporary design the ultimate translation of our aviation heritage to a “road jet”, a plane without wings.
- The Spyker Preliator features stunning 3D LED rear lights akin to the iris-type propelling nozzle of a jet engine from a modern fighter aircraft.
- The trademark radiator grille references to Spyker models of the previous century. The 1903 Spyker logo harkens back to an era when Spyker built racers such as the amazing Spyker 60HP.
- The low drag submerged air inlets are integrated into the contemporary design of the Spyker C8 Preliator.
- Aviation-inspired elements are a core part of the Spyker DNA. The little wings, ailerons, improve the car's aerodynamic performance.
- The rear diffuser plays a crucial role in the stability of the Spyker C8 Preliator at speed. It maintains maximum downforce for longer, giving the car higher levels of grip and better handling.
- The style of the Spyker C8 Preliator’s headlights is particularly eye-catching as they flow seamlessly from the body design. LED daytime running lights are used to increase the conspicuity during daylight conditions.
- Striking 12-spoke 19-inch Rotorblade™ wheels are available as an option. These wheels are inspired by the turbine blades of a modern jet engine.
- The Spyker C8 Preliator has carbon body panels, a lightweight material often used in the aviation industry. There is a distinct absence of ‘shut lines’ on the front wings and rear quarter panels.
- Spykers are the ultimate statement of individuality. They are crafted by individuals for individuals, our discerning clients, who appreciate craftsmanship and attention to detail.
- The Spyker C8 Preliator exhibits a timeless beauty reminiscent of a classic car, thanks to perfect proportions and the purity of surfaces.
