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

Marchionne threatens to move Alfa production out of Italy
Fri, 12 Jul 2013Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne was unsurprisingly frank when asked by reporters about potential investments in Italian manufacturing for Alfa Romeo and Maserati, giving the Italian government the ultimatum, "Italy should decide if they want [Alfa Romeo's relaunch] to happen here or not as Fiat and Chrysler have several alternatives." Them's fightin' words.
Fiat's issue with the government stems directly from its courtroom clashes with the Fiom labor union. The two are currently embroiled in proceedings over longer shifts and shorter breaks, as Fiom has so far refused to sign a new contract citing revised labor laws that it says are anti-union.
According to Bloomberg, Fiat will be spending over $2.5 billion on development of eight new Alfas and six new Maseratis, in a bid to wrest some of the luxury pie away from BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi. But that's only going to happen if the government is willing to play ball and make life easier on Fiat.
A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]
Thu, Dec 18 2014Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.
Singapore car salesman jailed for gambling away $280k Maserati deposit
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Kenny Rogers' country classic The Gambler is right about two things: you gotta know when to hold'em and know when to fold'em. A former Maserati salesman in Singapore is learning that lesson about when to step away from the table, after being sentenced to 33 months in prison for allegedly gambling away a customer's deposit of 350,000 Singapore dollars ($280,800).
According to Asia One, Allan Tan Buan Yuen was selling a Maserati in 2011. He told the customer that the car would take six months to arrive and cost 650,000 Singapore dollars ($522,000). While that may sound high, cars in the Asian country are notoriously expensive.
Yuen asked for a deposit of 150,000 Singapore dollars ($120,400), but instead of handing the money to the dealer, he placed the funds in his own account. Apparently, the customer didn't notice, and over the next few months Yuen received an additional 200,000 Singapore dollars ($160,400) towards the car from him. Clearly, this ruse couldn't last forever, though. When the buyer eventually inquired about his Maserati months later, Yuen admitted that he had already gambled away the entire fortune.
