4k Miles, Bespoke Interior, Non-arbag European Spec Steering Wheel on 2040-cars
San Francisco, California, United States
|
The Spyker C8 Spyder is powered by a mid-mounted, 400hp, 4.2 liter, aluminum
V8 redlined at 7500rpm. The engine drives the rear wheels and it can achieve a maximum speed of 190 mph. The curb weight is very light at just 2750 lbs. The gearbox is a manual 6-speed. The signature Spyker interior detail is an exposed, polished shift linkage. Koni supplies the shocks, which are race inspired, inboard mounted,
pushrod actuated coilovers. They are
adjustable for compression and rebound while the suspension can be adjusted for ride height, caster, camber and toe. The nature of the adjustments mean that you can make the car behave any way you want. Like the trick suspension, the brake, clutch and gas pedals are mounted to the floor in an aluminum race style pedal
box, including a dead pedal to the far left for resting your clutch leg on longer trips. The body panels are entirely formed in aluminum and feature many neat details like the raw finish, polished mirrors where the door latches hide, air intakes and grilles. The brakes are by British company, AP Racing. The calipers are 6-piston and the rotors are two pieces, with slotted steel rotors attached to lightweight aluminum hats to reduce unsprung weight. The forged aluminum 18" wheels and steering wheel feature the airplane propeller design, which is a nod to the company's past as not only a manufacturer of automobiles but of aircraft and aircraft engines during the late 19th and early 20th centuries Bespoke is the one word that most accurately describes Spyker. No two exactly are alike. Different materials and any exterior and interior color you can think of are available. Our example features a gloss black exterior with diamond stitched brown leather interior, dash and door panels. A custom sound system has been integrated into the vehicle featuring speaker pods behind the seats, a dash mounted CD player and JL audio amplifier in the boot. This particular car also provided the sound used in the video game Forza Motorsport 4. Turn 10, the producers of the game flew down from Washington and over the course of a day and with microphones all around the car, recorded startup noises, switches, doors closing, starting and revving to engine The

Maserati Levante Launch Edition debuts with pretty matte blue paint
Thu, Feb 28 2019Maserati has some small fish news today for the Geneva Motor Show: It plans to introduce a Levante Trofeo Launch Edition and ultimately sell 100 across the globe to kick off sales of the high-performance crossover. We're mostly taken by the Blu Emozione matte paint on the one shown here. Carbon fiber inserts on the bumpers, side skirts and hood make up the exterior changes for the Launch Edition. If you don't opt for the purplish blue (but why wouldn't you?), then Giallo Modenese and Rosso Magma are also on the table. For the less Italian inclined, that means yellow and red. Only 22-inch wheels will be fitted to the Launch Edition, with the choice being either a glossy or matte finish. Brake calipers are then painted in blue, yellow, red or silver. We'd have to recommend the blue calipers to go with the blue paint. Unique interior elements include a special, full-grain black leather. The Trofeo logo is embroidered on the headrests, and there's color-contrasting stitching throughout. The stitching's color corresponds to the exterior paint color you chose. The Trofeo is the hottest version in the Levante lineup, fitted with the 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 assembled by Ferrari in Maranello — note, the V8 is Ferrari-derived but not identical to the V8 out of the 488. We drove it awhile back and found it to be more than enticing as a performance SUV. Pricing for the Launch Edition is not currently available, but a normal Trofeo starts at $171,475. Related video:
2014 Maserati Ghibli snarls in Shanghai
Sat, 20 Apr 2013Big things are happening at Maserati, where the automaker is looking to increase its sales to 50,000 units annually. In addition to the revised Quattroporte that we saw at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year, Maserati has launched the all-new Ghibli here in Shanghai - a smaller, more driver-focused model that will take on the likes of the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
At launch, the Ghibli will be offered with three six-cylinder engines, two gas and one diesel. The base engine is a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 with 330 horsepower and 368 pound-feet of torque, good for a 0-62 time of 5.6 seconds. The more powerful Ghibli S, however, comes with a twin-turbocharged version of this engine, good for 410 hp and 406 lb-ft, reducing that 0-62 time to just five seconds flat. On the diesel end, the Ghibli will offer a 3.0-liter diesel V6 with 275 hp and 443 lb-ft of twist, able to do that same 62-mile-per-hour run in a still impressive 6.3 seconds. The more powerful Ghibli S will also be available with Maserati's new Q4 all-wheel-drive system, though we're told that this feature cannot be had on right-hand-drive versions.
As for what we can see here in Shanghai, the Ghibli looks pretty darn good, though that front fascia reminds us an awful lot of the BMW 3 Series. (Seriously, just picture the Bimmer with a more gaping grille opening.) Maserati will offer the Ghibli with standard 18-inch wheels, though 19s, 20s, and even 21s will be available as optional extras.
Marchionne: FCA, but not Ferrari, interested in Formula E
Sat, Aug 5 2017It seems like automakers have been clamoring to get on board with Formula E lately. In just the last few weeks a number of manufacturers have either become more directly involved, or otherwise announced entry into the series in coming years. That includes Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, with the latter two abandoning other series to join the electric one. Now, FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne says his company might join Formula E as well, according to Motorsport. Previously, Marchionne had toyed with the idea of bringing Ferrari into the Formula E field, but now says that would be unlikely. Instead, he thinks an FCA brand would be a better fit, perhaps Alfa Romeo or Maserati. At the moment, Maserati seems like the best fit, as Marchionne just announced that the brand would electrify its entire lineup after 2019, with each car it sells having either a hybrid or electric powertrain. Fans would probably be excited to see Maserati return to racing, and Formula E would be a good test laboratory for the development of electric propulsion technology. Still, another brand could represent FCA in Formula E, and apply the knowledge learned there to its vehicles, as Marchionne says half of the FCA fleet will be electrified by the end of the company's five-year plan ending in 2022. Marchionne said that while Ferrari won't be directly involved, he doesn't know which FCA brand – Alfa Romeo, Dodge, Chrysler, Fiat, or Maserati – would enter. As interesting as an electric Dodge race car would be, it seems unlikely, especially because of, well, Maserati. We're hoping it's Jeep, though.
