Spyker has survived long enough to make persistence part of the product story. The C8 Preliator XXV Coupé returns the Dutch marque to production with 800 hp, three pedals, and a run of just 25 cars—an intentionally analog answer to increasingly digital hypercars.


The new chassis uses a tubular spaceframe beneath a hand-formed aluminum body. Aircraft references remain explicit: a central roof scoop feeds the engine, top-mounted exhausts shorten the path out, afterburner-like taillights frame the rear, and manually adjustable diffuser flaps replace a screen-based aero menu. Rose-gold brightwork is optional; polished aluminum is standard.


Power comes from a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 800 hp and 738 lb-ft, sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual with an exposed linkage. Spyker claims 0–62 mph in 2.7 seconds, an 8,000-rpm ceiling, and a dry weight of 3,362 pounds.


Carbon-ceramic brakes with six-piston calipers manage the other side of the equation. The cabin continues the original C8 Preliator formula with turned aluminum, analog instruments, quilted leather, and physical switchgear.
Only 25 examples will be commissioned through Spyker. The company has not published a formal price or delivery schedule, although each car will be individually specified and built in limited volume.
