Spyker D12 Peking to Paris headed to production, priced at $294,252



Three years after it made its debut at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show, the Spyker D12 Peking to Paris SUV will go into production next year. Spyker has already received 100 orders for the oddly shaped SUV which is said to be a Porsche Cayenne rival.


Speaking of Porsche, the D12 Peking to Paris actually uses an Audi sourced W12 engine that produces 500-hp. That allows it to go from 0 to 60 mph in 5 seconds with a top speed of 185 mph. Pricing for the car has been confirmed at £186,000 ($294,252 USD). Production will take place at Spyker’s Zeewolde factory. Spykers were once hand-built but will now be constructed on a conventional production line.

Spyker C8 Laviolette LWB to Debut at Geneva


Meeting demands

The Spyker C8 Laviolette is a car you love or hate, there really is no in between. For those who loved the looks and purchased the car, the Spijker C8 Laviolette was a bit on the small side. So the almost down-and-out Dutch exotic car manufacturer will meet the demands their customers have set and will release a long wheel base (LWB) version of their C8 at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show in March.

There has been no official press release but we have managed to dig up some of the details. The engine remains the same, a 4,0 liter engine producing 400 hp with 480 Nm of torque. The wheelbase is stretched by 100 mm to 2675 mm, while the overall length increases almost 400 mm to 4584 mm. The width of the car also grows to 1920 mm from 1880 mm, the height of the car increases by 10 mm to 1255 mm and the fuel tank now holds 100 liters instead of 75 liters.

That there will be a Spyker C8 Laviolette Spyder LWB is only a matter of time, and it is expected that this convertible will have a motorized roof.
