Loz, with you on that...Love them.....Not the greatest drive by all accounts but just lovely to look at and be in I bet.....Apart from the soft top. You would have to drive it with the roof down.....Remember seeing the aluminium one at the motorshow taht they made at the launch..Blew me away...

they are stunning, have to agree Lz, but you have to keep that steering, it has the best interior than any other car, the Spyker's are ****.

I love the bravery of producing such a car, but it looks like a design collaboration between a 4 year old, Wayne Rooney and a Saudi prince with impaired vision. A convertible version would be a modern-day car for Toad of Toad Hall!

They are a work of art in the flesh, Audi V8 power and have a decent modern-day Le Mans heritage, I'd have one in a heartbeat. The quality is such that it doesn't seem blingy - polished stainless and aluminium are very different to just chrome plating tat for the sake of it.

Standard performance from 400bhp(?) and 1300kg(?) - should be rapid but not probably not quite like a Murcielago...

Inside - top notch .
Outside - Hmmmm. What were they thinking with that rag-top?

Still, you gotta love that they did it anyway.

The ragtop is pretty dire, not really meant to be driven with it on unless it's an emergency I suppose! Little bit like a Lambo Murcie Spyder, tragic soft top :)

Have to agree P. Outside it just isn't resolved.

Just think, if they'd swapped the last two digits around, it could have looked like this..

...well yes.......what was wrong with taking one or two styling cues from the masters...........................................;)

The rear looks like a pic of one of those giant amazon insects with multiple eyes......scary.....................and its butt looks more akin to a slain boar laid out dead.............

............................am I taking you along with me in visualising this Miles......or is it my meds kicking in.........;)

The Spyker for me just edges it over the 8C but they are both gorgeous. If i had a spiker i would just smoke a big cuban cigar. :D

come on frank, the spyker is automotive art, it has a miles better interior than the 8c, the 8c just has nice seats, the dashboard is nothing special. The Spyker is stunning.
