  • Spyker B6 Venator [official render images]

    Spyker B6 Venator Concept was introduced at last year’s Geneva Motor Show. The sports car was planned to go into production in the beginning of this year, but that didn’t happen. However, a report is saying that the B6 Venator will be launched in the spring of 2015.

    The manufacturer has published two renderings, which look pretty much production ready. The final vehicle is really impressive and we don’t expect any significant changes at this point. Of course, there will be a different front bumper, modified side mirrors and a new ventilated front hood.

    Nothing is mentioned about the performance and the powertrain, but previous report is saying that the B6 Venator will feature a V6 engine with around 375HP (276 kW), so the car will accelerate 0-100 km/h in around 4.0 seconds and the top speed is going to be close to 300 km/h (186 mph). The curb weight will be around 1,300 kg (2,870 lbs), which promises impressive time attack times.

    A lot more powerful versions are also expected, because Spyker B6 can be a direct rival to the astonishing Lamborghini Huracan, which was recently announced and has a 5.2 liter V10 with 610HP (449 kW).

    Stay tuned for more information and pictures of Spyker B6 Venator.

  • Spyker D8 Super SUV Concept To Return Next Year

    Spyker just disclosed that it is going to unveil a revised D8 Peking to Paris super-SUV at 2014 Geneva Motor Show. The original concept was introduced back in 2006 at the same show and initially it carried the name D12 Peking-To-Paris Concept. Later, the name of the car was changed to D8.

    The Dutch brand has also revealed that the engineering of the car has been already done, but what was left was the building of the tools and the production of the car. In fact, in order to make this P2P project come to reality, Spyker has joined forces with the Chinese company Youngman, which invested in it €25 million.

    Furthermore, the company said that up to a maximum of 1000 examples of the car will be produced and sold throughout markets such as China and Russia. The P2P will be four-dour four-wheel-drive vehicle and it is going to be equipped with powerful mid-engine that is to deliver exhilarating performance. Unfortunately no additional details around the unit were revealed so far.

    Spyker B6 Venator on the other hand will have its market launch in 2014. A convertible version of the B6 will be on display at 2013 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance later this month.

  • Geneva Motor Show: Spyker B6 Venator Concept

    Spyker-B6-Venator-Concept-THUMBThe Dutch sports car maker Spyker is debuting its B6 Venator Concept at the Geneva Motor Show. After the model has been teased two weeks ago it now comes to show an exceptional attitude at the Auto Show.

    Spyker B6 Venator Concept is a compact, 2-door mid-engine sports car which delivers a rare combination of heritage, design, performance and exclusivity. The concept makes a defiantly contemporary statement whilst paying homage to its past. It includes extremely detailed design, bespoke materials and aviation-inspired elements.

    The name “Venator” comes from the ancient language Latin and it means literally “Hunter”. The name it carries undoubtedly conveys its high sports luxury presence and its bold beauty. But to go further into details and to reveal some of the highlights, the rear lights of this Concept are stunning 3D LED lights akin to the iris-type propelling nozzle of a jet engine from a modern fighter aircraft.

    Secondly, the Radiator Grille, which is the trademark, references to Spyker models of the previous century. Here, the 1903 Spyker logo harkens back to an era when Spyker

    built racers such as the amazing Spyker 60 HP.

    Another exceptional element here is the aerodynamically shaped glass aircraft canopy which extends rearwards in order to minimize drag and to enhance performance. Next, the air intakes are aerodynamically sculpted and are integrated into the contemporary design of the car.

    The new headlights are also instantly eye-catching because they are equipped with LED light rails, which add further to the aggressive stance of the model. What is more, the highly detailed design, bespoke materials and aviation-inspired elements are a core part Spyker’s DNA.

    The brake light has been sculpted into the Spyker B6 Venator’s rear panel design to ensure smooth, flowing design lines. And the wheels – 19” Turbofan™ are in mirror polish finish. The contemporary profile and the overall design of the B6 pays homage to its past whilst making a defiantly contemporary statement with a lineage that can be traced back many years.
