The Spyker C8 Preliator XXV Returns With An 800-HP Audi V8, Manual Gearbox, And Tons Of Rose Gold
Welcome back automotive enthusiasts to another exciting update from the cutting edge of supercar news. Today we are diving into an absolute masterpiece that has just shocked the crowds at The Quail during Monterey Car Week. The historic Dutch ultra luxury automaker Spyker Cars is officially back from the brink and they have returned with a resounding mechanical bang. Prepare yourselves for the breathtaking all new Spyker C8 Preliator XXV Coupe. In a modern automotive landscape that is increasingly dominated by silent electric powertrains, massive digital touchscreens, and artificial driving aids, this magnificent machine stands as a defiant warrior fighting for the pure unadulterated soul of driving. The word Preliator translates to warrior in Latin, and this incredible vehicle fully embodies the famous Spyker motto which states that no road is impossible for the tenacious. With only twenty five highly exclusive units ever slated to see the light of day, this is a hand built celebration of everything we love about analog supercars.
At the beating heart of this mechanical masterpiece is a monstrous power plant that commands absolute respect. Spyker has sourced a phenomenal four liter twin turbocharged V8 engine directly from Audi. However, this is not just any standard German V8 straight off an assembly line. This incredible engine has been extensively modified by the tuning experts at Abt to produce a staggering eight hundred horsepower and seven hundred and thirty eight pound feet of torque. All of that explosive power is channeled exclusively to the rear wheels, propelling this lightweight aluminum coupe to a blistering top speed that exceeds two hundred and seventeen miles per hour. Acceleration is brutal and immediate, with the sprint to sixty two miles per hour taking a mere two point nine seconds. But what truly sets the C8 Preliator apart from its contemporary rivals is how you control that colossal power. Spyker has firmly rejected the modern trend of fast shifting automated dual clutch automatics. Instead, they have equipped this warrior with a glorious purely mechanical six speed Graziano manual transmission. There are no paddle shifters, no automated rev matching systems, and no safety nets. This is a car that demands true driver involvement and rewards skill with an unparalleled visceral experience, complete with Spykers iconic beautiful exposed gear linkage running right down the center of the cabin.
