In 2006 I saw Spyker race at the 12 Hours of Sebring. One of their cars crashed in qualifying, and the team worked around the clock getting the car back on the track to compete in the race. I watched them throughout the night. They finished just a half hour after the race started, and the car did well and completed the race. Victor Muller invited me into the paddock to take pictures of the team working on their car. I know a lot about him and his role in their demise, but as a 21 year old, it left a lasting impression on me.

Many people watching this probably first heard of the name Spyker through Top Gear but I knew about the Spyker for around 8 years before I heard of Top Gear. The Spyker came second in the P2P mainly due to having 4wd (lower gear ratio) to get through the difficult terrain and the fact that the driver Charles Goddard sold all the spares before starting, only to run into trouble with the magneto (that device used before car batteries and ignitions) which failed halfway through Russia and had to be rebuilt. Goddard then drove for over 23 hours straight to catch up.

Spyker musta been crazy! As if anyone in their right mind would want a jacked up, flabby car with wheels and tyres far too large to deliver decent cornering. An overly heavy car that wallowed through bends, performance massively blunted due to the vehicle being too big, too heavy, too high off the road etc. Everyone with more than a single braincell would see what a waste of a great engine that would be with the car accelerating slower, braking distances far longer, top speed reduced, high and low speed cornering wrecked, a car far more likely to roll due to high centre of gravity. Everyone with a brain realises that a sporty SUV is a hilariously moronic idea! And yet..........

The only way i see Spyker may surviving is if Koenigsegg took over and kept it as there lower price GT brand, probably to compare with the Continental GT. I doubt even Koenigsegg could make it profitable at this point. With the Spyker production numbers I wonder if they take into account they launched into the drink for Basic instinct 2
@memmem77 Жыл бұрын
i've been saying this for a long time now. It would make total sense, they have their performance pedigree brand Koenigsegg and a more downtuned and focused on luxury brand next to Koenigsegg. Both could perfectly coexist as they both have their unique group of buyers. Koenigsegg has the base and technology to built the C8 further on and they even have an engine ready to go developed. And i'm presuming CvK has deep enough pockets and knowledge to envision such a project. They could basically built the near entire car in Sweden and then ship them off to The Netherlands for some final assembly to keep the "made in Holland" image alive. If there is any company capable of doing this, it's Koenigsegg. They understand the niche car segments very well. There is only one issue; the sale of the Spyker trademarks is more complicated as thought before and it might take quite some time for the current administrator to actually put these trademarks up for sale. And without these trademarks, there is nothing to "revive".
