Sports Cars – Spyker C8 Laviolette – Sports Cars
A very compact two-seater coupe (only 4,18 cm long) with a large V8 and an exaggerated line. Normal recipe for an exotic supercar, except that Spyker C8 Laviolette is a Dutch supercar. For those who do not know this, Spyker is a construction company founded in 2000 by Victor Müller from the Netherlands. Both the name and logo refer to the Spyker company of the same name, which made luxury aircraft and automobiles in the early 1900s, and this can be seen in every detail of this magnificent coupe; for example, the steering wheel is practically a propeller covered in thin leather. The instrument panel and gauges are an anthem to aviation in impeccable retro style.: he remembers a lot of what we find on Pagani cars. And I'm not exaggerating.
Without a doubt, a real gem of aesthetics. On the other hand, the mechanics are simpler.
ENGINE AND SPECIFICATIONS
Under the hood Spyker C8 Laviolette however we find a German heart: naturally aspirated Audi 4,2-liter V8 (same as old RS4) from 450 h.p. powercapable of starting the car with 0 per 100 km / h for 4,4 seconds to maximum speed 300 km / h.
Only 1275 kg on the scale arrow The Spyker C8 Laviolette is a very light vehicle and also very demanding. You need to have a quick reaction and a lot of control to push it to the limit: when you push it, the Spyker "moves", fondles and runs like a thoroughbred horse. The transition from understeer to oversteer happens very quickly, and the balance is not the best. This is a car to be tamed. In this case, the braking system does not have a mechanical brake. (like on race cars), which means you have to knock really hard to cut the pieces of speed, but the build capability is great.
RARE AND EXPENSIVE
If you ever see Spyker C8 Laviolette around consider yourself lucky. If you have it in your garage: very lucky. Just over 20 C8 Laviolette units were produced with a starting price 232.000 euro but which exceeds me 300.000 revolutions in the most exotic and special versions. Special price for a special car.
