Spyker (pictures)
 
The Spyker brand was dead since 1928, but about a year and a half ago the brand was revitalized. Something that might interest you about this brand:

The 1903 60HP Grand Prix racer was an important historical milestone, featuring the world's first six cylinder engine as well as permanent four wheel drive.
This is the result:

This is just a car I wanted to share with you, the brand is virtually unknown outside of Holland (or Europe) and it deserves much more attention than it has received so far.

I have had the pleasure of visiting the Spykers and there is just something about this car that oozes raw power.

Gorgeous car, I love the wind thingy majigers (I can't think of the name at the moment) on the side and on the roof. The front has such a neat look to it. mmm

I'm assuming that the picture provided of the interior is the sequential system.... otherwise i don't know how they go about shifting it. Any ideas?

That is not the sequential system :D :D :D

You must have some feeling to use the gearshift, true. But in Europe only about 8 % of cars sold are automatic. Whereas in the U.S.A. about 70 to 80% is automatic I heard. So, it's no problem here. Everybody knows how to use the stick-shift properly. Just takes some getting used to.

thadon 07-03-2003 08:18 AM

damn that is a sweet ride

etla 07-03-2003 02:18 PM

Nice looking car, Love to see details of the shifter. Too bad the web design team seems to have a broken caps lock key.
