Spyker in the Shanghai Auto Show

For all luxury car makers China is the place to be if you want to survive, there is little to no consumption of super cars in Europe at the moment in the short term but the Middle Kingdom is bucking the trend on practically every front. Spyker cars are now sold in China, although they are not cheap, they are considered one of the must have cars to own, especially as Ferrari’s and Lamborghini’s are becoming rather passe.

Spyker brought two new models to Shanghai, the C8 Aileron and also the C8 Laviolette. A special edition of the Laviolette was made available for the Chinese market, where it will sell for around 4.8 million RMB. This model will be a true drivers car with a six speed manual gearbox mated to a 4.2L V8 engine producing 500 horsepower – that’s 100 ponies more than the regular car, which all help push the car to 62mph in less than four seconds.-chinacartimes.com
