Spyker C8 Spyder: Road test

Autocar has a road test of the Spyker C8 Spyder which is powered by an Audi engine.

I am perplexed by the Spyker. It has one of the most remarkable interiors seen in a production car, and makes a noise I shall now do you the favour of ceasing to describe by way of simile or metaphor. But it is also one of the most truculent, obstinate cars I’ve ever driven: one that expects an awful lot of the driver and yet rarely delivers much in return (other than at low speed in tunnels). But I just can’t bring myself to wholly dislike a car with an exposed gear linkage and – sorry – Aretha Franklin’s lungs. Anyone looking for maximum publicity knows where to look. If they’ve got £188,000 to spare.
