Spyker C8 Preliator: Price, Specifications, Equipment

 »  »  »

The new Spyker C8 Preliator had its world debut today at the 2016 New York Auto Show. Spyker released the full specifications and the complete equipment list of the C8 Preliator. The Spyker C8 Preliator's price starts at 354,990 USD for the manual gearbox version and at 362,990 USD for the automatic. These prices do not include optional extras nor taxes. Spyker plans to build just 50 units of the C8 Preliator. The Spyker C8 Preliator is powered by a 4.2-litre supercharged V8 engine with VVT from Audi, which, according to the official specifications, develops 525 PS (386 kW) at 6800 rpm and 600 Nm (443 lb-ft) of torque at 3500 rpm. Thanks to a weight of just 1390 kg (3065 lbs), the Spyker C8 Preliator is able to accelerate from zero to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.7 seconds.

The top speed of the C8 Preliator is rated at 201 mph (322 km/h).

One of the distinctive design features of the Spyker C8 Preliator are the so-called NACA ducts. These are submerged air intakes, which have been inspired by the aviation industry. The C8 Preliator features small ailerons on the front splitter and side skirts for improved aerodynamic performance, a reflective gold coating on the glass canopy, CNC-machined stainless steel LED rear lights and 19-inch Turbofan wheels.

The equipment list of the Spyker C8 Preliator includes a multifunctional Head-Up Display, machined Chronoswiss dials and switches, Bluetooth, iOS and Android connectivity, and AP Racing carbon ceramic brakes.
