The Spyker C8 Spyder will be tested by Topgear next Sunday (11 July) Let's see what their opinion is about this car. Hopefully it will be tested without the ridiculous hard-top...

the name spyker has meaning but the modern company simply bought the rights to the name.
There is no direct link between the two. I don't think that really counts as heritage. Same with the veyron and eb110. they might be great cars but good marketing does not create heritage.

Honestly, though, Spyker is the one of two Dutch things i like. The other is Rebecca Romijn Stamos (or Rebecca Romijn since she's single now) She's just Dutch by blood by the way, she's Californian.

And if u are going to by a supercar, what will u go for, a Ferrari or a unknow manufacture??

Well, you are right. People will go with the well known Ferrari. But there are those few(Like myself) who actually prefer the more unknown Pagani, Koenigsegg, Spyker and etc.
Sad to hear Spyker only sold one car! I'd like to see them stay in bussiness.

They'll stay in business allright. In fact, a couple of weeks ago Spyker got a notation at the Amsterdam stock exchange, so a great deal of money has been attracted for further funding. The founder of Spyker, Victor Muller, is a very succesful and wealthy entrepeneur and I'm sure he can pull this off as well. If it is true only one car has been built, it probably is because the car still needs to be developed further.
