Spyker
I'm dutch, and i was wondering if you all know (im sure you do) 'our pride' Spyker. Since you all probably lkow it i was wondering what you think about Spyker. I think its great, but they only sold 1 car in the last year (in the Netherlands probably).

Use the search function. There are already some topics on Spyker.
This is a forum where most people (if not all) admire exclusive performance cars, so pretty much everyone knows about Spyker... 
I had never thought you were Dutch. Your username 'scharreltje' doesn't exactly give it away.

I think there are to many supercar manufactures.
U almost get a "supercar" every week from everywhere in the world.
As tiff said the word supercar is been abused these days.
A supercar is not only about speed IMO, it's also about prestige.
And if u are going to by a supercar, what will u go for, a Ferrari or a unknow manufacture??

I love that car, so shiny and elegant but I havent seen any reviews of it so I cant tell you other than it looks nice and has potential

I have a short clip of the Spyker being driven by Damon Hill and a journalist. I don't know the journalists name but he was on Top Gear a few years ago. He's in a Top Gear review of the newer SL500. Young guy with glasses. If anyone wants it I can certainly post it.

That is a clip with Damon Hill and Jason Barlow in the Spyker Double 12 S. That's a streetlegal version of their Le Mans car. It's a funny review, because they've added subtitles since the car is so damn loud.
I prefer the C8 Laviolette and C8 Spyder, they're better looking.

Spyker has to build proper cars first. The problem of Spyker is that they first build a car and started engineering afterwards.... That's why they have lots of problems at the moment with buildquality and reliability. They talk big, but aren't able to accomplish their promises they made a couple of years ago. I.M.O they are no real contender in the supercarworld yet.
They build proper and high-tech cars in the past, hopefully the will do it again.
