Spyker - Someone loves our windows
 
After watching War with Jet Li & Jason Statham, my boyfriend had to find out what was the strange car featured in the movie. Finding the designer's site, it turned out to be a C8 Spyder.
As I continued checking out their site.. I started having deja vu.... particularly when I saw the side view of the D12 Peking-to-Paris...:WTF:

The C12 Zagato is pretty fierce looking..

Not sure if anyone else posted this site here.. but I thought it was interesting to share.

Ya, I'd noticed that in the previews.

Silly copycats.:rolleyes:

NOW we're getting closer to Gugario's SVX concepts.

The SVX is the perfection of the concept.:)

Agreed. Of all the other cars I've seen with the windows, i believe the svx looks the best.

Sweet, just watched War last night and I was wondering what car that was

Spyker makes weird cars. I like the back end of the C8, but the rest is...a jumble, in my opinion.

The interior isn't to my liking, either, but at least it's original.

Spyker is into sports car racing with the C8 Spyder GT2 R and, for some reason, owns an F1 team. The latter seems to be at least partially responsible for the company's problems staying afloat. I expect the team will be sold or shut down before next season.

...I love spyker's outlandish cars, and the vintage modern interiors with chrome exposed shift linkages, quilted red leather, ect.ect.

And yeah, the svx definently has the most visually smooth split window design. Earlier cars with the design had the opening too small, or the glass just too flat.

You know... Ive seen a DeLorean twice in the last week... Im going to a new school, and Ive seen it in the parking lot. I think a teacher owns it. I went and looked at it, and it was pretty nice. Maybe... when I get on his good side... "if" he decides to sell it... I can get dibs :p I noticed it the first time when I saw him open his door... I was like, sweeeeeeet.
