Spyker has been in the news a lot lately, from out of nowhere, due to its purchase of Saab from General Motors. Many people haven't heard of the brand until news about Saab started swirling. Prior to that though, the stunning C8 Aileron already made us huge fans.  So instead of Saab, this has to do with Spyker's own product. Galpin Motors is quite well known in Southern California and in automotive circles. With everything from custom vehicles to its Premier Collection, Galpin has been the largest volume Ford dealership for 20 years. Now the company is adding Spyker into its Premier Collection, which currently includes Aston Martin, Jaguar and Lotus Cars. The announcement comes at a unique time as Spyker currently has more recognition than ever. Galpin's

A lot has been going on at Spyker lately! The company has debuted it's new model line, the C8 Aileron - along with the C8 Aileron Spyder that recently made a debut at this month's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. It's part of a greater push to sell vehicles in the North American market. There is clearly room for expansion though. What's next? A 4-door sedan to compete with the Rapide and Panamera? Apparently not - the next model to be debuted is supposedly the D8 Peking-to-Paris. It was delayed after Spyker's funding crunch but had resumed a while ago due to an infusion of Russian funding. It was shown as a concept originally, badged as the D12 Peking-to-Paris. The 12 implied a 12-cylinder engine. As Spyker continued

Production of Spyker's C8 Aileron is nearing. The company has been doing quite well with orders and sales, and Russian investment into the company has helped fuel development for future models. The D8 Peking-to-Paris is coming, along with possibly a 4-door coupe model to do battle with the Aston Martin Rapide. I'm a big fan of the company and in particular the C8 Aileron. The Laviolette? Not so much. The Aileron is a totally different story though. Spyker has released a bunch of new pictures of the car that captures it much better then the former studio shots ever did. I picked a few of them out to post on CarThrottle. Enjoy!
