Don't see it talked about too much on here. What do you guys think of it?

I saw one IRL. A white one. They do exist.

I've seen a handful myself. Even got to sit in one a couple years ago. Probably what locked me in to being a gearhead, even though the process of becoming one started way earlier than that.

They are pretty. The interior is pretty wild.

Gloriously over the top piece of art (and I presume just as divisive as those). How is Spyker Automotive holding up anyway? I've seen a lot of confusing news about them...

I haven't heard anything about them since they revealed the B6 Venator Concept.

One of my favorite current supercars.

My thoughts? It weighs less than a BRZ, but has an engine over twice the size and power, and three times in the turbo model.
HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE WITH THAT LEVEL OF LUXURY!?

Funny story, my friend actually owns one (pictured), and I have to say, the fit and finish is top friggen notch (perfect panel gaps, everything is really damned close to "perfect"). That Audi V-8 sounds epic and makes me have funny feelings in my pants. But, well... don't hate me for this but it's not a car I believe I'd actually want to own. Hear me out! The seats, while aesthetically pleasing, leave a lot to be desired in the lumbar support. Also, it's a spine crusher on the suspension front, especially on the beat to death roads on the east coast. OK, I'll amend my previous statement, yes I would own the hell out of a Spyker C8, I'd keep it in my living room and take it to track days, but if I had to drive it more then extremely occasionally I don't know that I'd want it. Sorry, got a little rambly, this tends to happen when you're still awake at damn near 5am.

Personally I love them! I want to see one IRL so badly. The exterior styling is...interesting, to say the least. I wouldn't say its beautiful but its sexy in a certain way to me. That interior and the uniqueness really appeal to me as well. I am so drawn to the exposed shift linkage, but turned off by the government warning label that is slapped willy-nilly onto the passenger side brushed metal dash (USA).

Holy shitballs, I did not know it was this light! That is pretty awesome.
I'm kinda sad the SAAB-Spyker partnership didn't last longer. Could make for interesting technology sharing. The new B6 Venator could share engine choices with the Aeros/Turbo X... Maybe an even smaller model... Call it A4 Something, according to the naming scheme and have it cross over into Sonett territory... Lots of possibilities.
Here's a pretty cool police car for ya'll:
And a dirty, dirty girl on track:

Such a huge fan. They aren't especially photogenic, but man is it show stopper in the flesh.
