Spyker C8 is more than 4 meters long, 1.95 meters wide, 1.27 meters high, and has a wheelbase of more than 2 meters. The curb weight is about 1400 kg, which is medium in sports cars. The profile is still very individual. Spyker was originally engaged in the aviation industry. The shape of this C8 fully considers the aerodynamic concept. Ventilation grille and backflow trough can be seen everywhere, which is very streamlined and can be felt from its rearview mirror. It is very smooth. The wheel hub has a special shape, which reminds people of the rudder. There is a big nut in the middle, which can be quickly removed. The front wheel specifications are 235/35 R 19, and the rear wheel specifications are 295/30 R 19.
Spyker C8's air intake is special and designed at the top of the car. From this angle, you can clearly see that there is a "tubular passage" on the roof. Air enters from the air inlet at the top of the roof and then enters the engine compartment behind the cockpit. You can see that the back of the cockpit is transparent and you can see the engine inside. From the position of the engine, spyker C8's engine is centered, and this design is also more conducive to overtaking.
From this point of view, the rear of the car is still very wide, a bit like Bugatti Veyron, both of which are "fat". The taillights are four round bulbs with a bar brake light in the middle. The position of the exhaust pipe is relatively high, with double outlets in the middle and a diffuser at the bottom. Although spyker C8 was an old car ten years ago, it adopted an all-aluminum body and the frame was cast and pressed at one time.
The power part of this spyker C8 is provided by Audi. It is equipped with a 4.2L V8 naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 400 HP and a peak torque of 480 Nm. The gearbox is 6-speed manual and provided by Gertrak, Germany. The clutch has a long stroke and pays attention to pure mechanical control. Spyker C8 is driven by rear wheels, and both front and rear suspensions are independently suspended by double wishbones. It only takes 4 seconds and 5 seconds to accelerate to 100km/h, and the top speed can reach 300km/h, which is already very good in self-priming vehicles with the same displacement ten years ago.
Spyker sports car is more about selling brands, focusing on hand-building, giving people a sense of personal tailor, more like a work of art, which is worse than the contemporary Ferrari F430 in performance, but more expensive, so it is not surprising that fewer people buy it.
