I need to do more research on Spyker.

I love the look of their cars. I just don't know much about them...

Didn't you go to EOS6 at Silicon Valley Auto Group? They had one of these there in the main showroom where the raffle was held. It's an "interesting" car.

I've seen Spyker cars plenty of times in many car shows. I liked the one from EOS6.

I just have limited info about them. I don't even know simple specs like engine size, horsepower ratings, and acceleration times. Hell, I don't even know how much they cost...

Does it come with pre-loaded missiles for the optional missile launchers?

Phil, I do believe they're powered by Audi engines.

That car is just stunning. There is nothing like it on the road and the interior is amazing. It only weighs 3142 pounds???? And I think it's a bargain at only $210,000.

Yeah but I think that the waiting list is very, very long.

And yes, Spykers are powered by Audi V8s and W12s. I want one of these and I plan on purchasing one very, very soon. I just have to get off my *** and go to Calgary.
