Spyker C8
The C8 Spyder is the original base model with an Audi 4.2 litre V8 engine giving the car 400 hp and a top speed of 300 km/h. The C8 spyder T has a more powerful Audi 4.2 liter V8 twin turbo with 525 hp giving it a top speed of 320 km/h. The C8 Laviolette has the 400hp Audi engine but unlike the spyder models that come with either a soft or a hard top, the Laviolette has a glass canopy.
The C8 Double 12R is a version made specifically for the 24 hours of Le Mans also using the Audi V8 engine with 480 hp and the C8 Double 12S is the street version of this car which has the same glass canopy of the Laviolette and optionally has a 600 hp engine instead of the 400 hp engine from the C8 spyder, giving it a top speed between 300 km/h and 345 km/h depending on the engine.
Both Double 12 versions have a modified C8 spyder frame with a longer wheelbase and a bigger fuel tank, 100 liters instead of 75. The GT2R is the latest racing model of the car and has 450 hp and an open top with a metal rollcage. The Spyker C12 LaTurbie is the most recent road model and also has a long wheelbase but comes with a new 12 cylinder 6.0 litre Audi W12 engine producing 500 hp. Despite the changed designation, C12 instead of C8, the car's appearance is still similar to that of the C8 models. C12 refers to the twelve cylinders, while the C8 has only eight.
Prices start from approximately €215000 for the Spyder model and go up to €290000 for the C12 LaTurbie model. The GT2R racing model has an estimated price of €325000.
