Perhaps, if I ask you for the name of Spyker Maybe this one sounds Chinese to you. No problem, I'll tell you where it comes from. The first time that this Dutch firm began its existential journey was in the distant year 1880. However, after going through severe economic problems, it disappeared in 1925. After spending 75 years sleeping peacefully, Victor Muller made her reborn with the presentation of Spyker C8 at the Birmingham Motor Show.
So far, so good, but things go wrong again. If you remember Muller worked for General Motors and knew that Saab was on the brink of the abyss. For this reason, when the American builder decided to get rid of it, they decided to buy it. That was the beginning of his second final, because in 2014 they had to file for bankruptcy again. Now when she has changed hands she could rise from her ashes again.
Spyker, thanks to two partners, would launch two sports cars and an SUV
Today, Spyker is in the hands of Russian oligarch Boris Rotenberg and his business partner Michael Pessis. Together, they have managed to get their firm back to the forefront of information, mainly by obtaining the necessary resources to reactivate the production of models. As a curiosity, mention that in the scarce ten years that the output that they accumulated was less than 300 units.
and you will wonder What could Spyker surprise us with? Well, neither more nor less than with products that I had already designed and that have been stored in a drawer for all these years. The luck is that his prototypes have always been very avant-garde, holding up very well over time. Thus, there is talk that it could be on the runway C8 Preliator supercar powered by the 5.0 Koenigsegg block with 608 hp and 600 Nm of torque.
There are also rumors that the B6 Venator and the SUV D8 Pekin to Paris could also go into production. According to several sources, including Autocar, there is talk of 2021 as the date to start manufacturing. According to Spyker statements…
"There is no doubt that Spyker has had a rough few years from the demise of Saab Automobile AB in 2011. With this new partnership, those days are definitely gone and Spyker will become a major player in the supercar market segment."
It will be necessary to see if these words become reality and the wind does not take them away. maybe your motto «Nulla tenaci invia est via» (There is no impossible path for the most tenacious) is what really gives them strength to move forward and not give up.
