PASSION FOR CRAFTMANSHIP

The Spyker C8 is an advanced mid-engined two-seat sports car, characterized by lightweight construction and purity of design, with an uncompromising engineering package developed from scratch. The ultra-stiff space frame is manufactured from aluminum sheet and extrusions. The hand-crafted body panels are supplied by both Coventry Prototype Panels from the U.K. and Karmann from Germany.

Spyker has chosen to use only the best materials for building the Spyker C8. The material of choice for the construction of the car is aluminum, a complex material that requires handling by highly skilled professionals to get the best out of it, but that gives unparalleled results.

The chassis of the C8 is built from extruded box sections and folded sheet. The body panels are hand-crafted from aluminum sheet of outstanding durability and is almost as dent resistant as steel. All of the exterior details, such as the wing mirrors, the beautiful air intakes and the wheels, are also hand-crafted from aluminum.

Every body panel and component of the Spyker C8 is numbered to identify it as belonging to the car's chassis number.

Every Spyker’s personality is further enhanced by a number of unusual and eye catching interior features. Most noticeable perhaps on entering the car is the dashboard and instrument panel. The design of the instrumentation is reminiscent of those found in airplanes, reflecting Spyker’s aviation heritage. Once seated behind the controls, drivers will appreciate the remarkable design of the gearlever so shaped to highlight the unusual shift mechanism that adds to the uniqueness of this motorcar. All Spykers feature keyless entry. Spyker has designed an unique aluminum Aeroblade™ steering wheel covered in exquisite Hulshof leather which is riveted onto the rim and which features two propellers.
Moreover extra-ordinary elegant 19” Aeroblade™ wheels in magnesium with central locking featuring five propellers which are such a distinctive component of the Spyker trademark are available as an option.

Luxury and performance are further encapsulated in a number of interior features such as
the tasteful incorporation of aluminum design elements as well as the exclusive leather trim. Owners may order every conceivable body colour to their own taste as well as leather to match. Philips xenon headlights are amongst the unlimited number of options available to customers.
