The Spyker C8 is one the weirdest cars I have ever seen. It is Dutch which might explain something but I don't quite know. Since 2000 the C8 has comes in many shapes and forum meaning 11 different engine roof combinations. The chassis and body are original from Spyker but all of the engines used are from Audi. The base model C8 is the Spyder with an Audi 4.2 L V8 hence the 8 after the C. That 4.2 L V8 has only 400 hp but the Spyder can still go 186 mph and 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds. The next model up is the Spyder T. The Spyder T has the same engine has the Spyder but with two turbo chargers thrown on it now has 525 hp which gets the car up to 199 mph and 0-60 mph in just 4 seconds. After that you have the Spyder Laviolette. The Laviolette has the same engine as the base model but instead of a soft or hard roof the Laviolette has a glass canopy. The next jump up is the double 12S and 12R. The 12R is the racing version designed for the 24 Hours of Le Mans race and the 12S is the same car for the street. The 12S has the same glass canopy as the Laviolette but an optional 620 hp engine that will get the 12S up to 214 mph and will go from 0-60 mph in under 4 seconds. The Most recent Spyker model to cole out is the C12 LaTurbie. Instead of the Audi V8 it has an Audi 6.0 L W12 with 500 hp which makes no sense because it is bigger then the V8 but has less power. The base model Spyker cost $288,000 and only weighs 2750 lbs.
