Who is Spyker?
Spyker is a Dutch sports car maker with roots in coachbuilding and aviation. Its modern cars are hand-built, low-volume sports cars, known for detailed interiors and design that draws on the marque’s aviation heritage. The C8 is the heart of this range: an individualistic performance car for drivers who value craftsmanship and a strong sense of occasion.
Which Spyker models are listed?
The range here centres on two versions of the C8: the C8 and the C8 Aileron. The C8 runs from 2005 to 2009, followed by the Aileron from 2010 to 2011. Together, they trace the modern C8 line from its earlier form to a more developed second generation.
How did the C8 range develop?
The C8 established Spyker’s modern identity as a maker of distinctive, hand-built sports cars. The C8 Aileron carried that idea forward as the next generation, with aviation-inspired details that make the marque’s history visible in the car’s design. The names reflect a continuous C8 family, while the Aileron marks a clear step in its development.
Which markets and fuel types are covered?
Spyker appears in United States EPA figures. The models listed are petrol sports cars; no electrified version appears in this range. Official fuel economy and emissions figures depend on the market’s test procedure: the EPA method differs from Europe’s WLTP or older NEDC procedures, and Canada uses a 5-cycle test.
