F rom coach-building in the 1880s to airplane manufacturing during World War I, the Dutch company Spyker has had a roller-coaster history that includes several stints in bankruptcy. In 2000, Spyker re-emerged as a producer of $300,000 Supercars that combine seductive exterior styling that includes gullwing doors, a retro-minimalist interior that features jet fighter-inspired toggle switches, and advanced engine technology, courtesy of a specially-tuned 4.2-liter V8 sourced from Audi.
It takes a lot more than just a simple turn of the key to fire up the C8 Spyder's 400-horsepower engine. Spyker keeps the aviation theme going by requiring the driver to engage a secondary key, which is located in the glove box, throw the ignition toggle switch, and then hit the Start button.
Selecting Sport Mode adjusts the throttle response and changes the exhaust note to a deep, satisfying, throaty roar. Zero to 60 mph is reached in just 4.4 seconds. Word of caution: the C8 Spyder doesn’t come with traction control or stability control. To many, this combination of modern technology in some places and the lack of it in others, is part of the C8 Spyder's allure.
