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:

Quote:

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.

If you're interested in more photos, specs and videos. Just visit http://www.spykercars.com

deathbygaetano · 07-02-2003, 09:18 PM

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

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.

damn that is a sweet ride

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