Spyker also makes an open air roadster with the same windows, minus the rear windows.
Soooo, if anyone wanted some inspiration for chopping the top of from their SVX......there you go. BTW: I think the SVX is a WAY better looking car than that thing! |

The Spyker D12 "Peking-to-Paris" is a four-wheel drive, four-door, four-seater luxury Super Sports Utility Vehicle with a spacious interior and a high performance W12 500 bhp engine.
Besides the four door and "Sports Utility" name, and of course the W12, sounds like they are trying to reinvent the SVX Nothing like being 15 years behind the curve! So much for innovation. |

All wheel drive, suicide 4 door, four seater luxury Grand utility Tourer ( ) with a spacious interior, high performance turbo H6 400bhp hybrid engine and 5speed auto. On top of that, huge rims, glass roof, hatch trunk (assuming from it's depth), chrome trim everywhere, bumper integrated exhaust, and a few odd styling cues.

looks like a supercoupe rearended an svx into an aston martin. It does look like an svx rip off, it isn't even just the AWD four seater with floating cieling deal ...even the shape and curve of the windows are the same.
I like it... it looks really weird, but I felt the same way about the murano and now IT looks normal to me. I love the cabin. The shot from above reminds me of a fish

Looks like a bloated sports car. Why the hell are people trying to make fast SUV's? They should just take the S out and call them UV's, because most SUV's are anything but S. If it actually IS an SUV, it should go through mud and stuff...not the autobahn

Sory guyss..
Sorry guys, I love it
http://www.cars.com/go/features/auto...ion_spyker_d12 Unlikely it would be imported into the U.S. though, so it looks like I'll be moving! They have some other awesome cars as well on their website. ...could maybe do with some reinventing of that front-end before I pack my bags though |

I agree with Eric. The car is too bloated, the roof is too high and the wheels are on backwards.

Can't imagine going 185 mph in that machine. Aero lift above 100 mph must be horrific. Somebody somewhere will buy one, or two. Don't expect to see a long production run.

Now, I LOVE spyker's outlandish designs, like the c8, with it's quilted red leather interior and chrome everywhere...But gos damnit I haote when people jump on the bandwagon. An SUV is seriously the LAST thing id expect such an "off the beaten path" car manufaturer like spyker to make.That'd be like lambrogini making an economy car....

If it looks that bad in showroom condition, it is hard to imagine how ugly it will be when it gets a little rain dropping off the kids to school.
Unless I miss my guess, the rich Arab kids that the car is marketed and designed for, they will not buy it because of the glass roof. The sun is straight overhead in their latitudes. Regards the powerplant, Porsche most likely used any influence they had to get the VAG corporation to supply Spyker with the W12. Now that this D12 thing is making production, all those Cayenne owners with more money than taste can point out that now there is a more ugly SUV on the market. Lamborghini already went some way down this road with the LM002, which was also an assault vehicle. An assault on the visual senses, that is, unspeakably ugly. I'm all for opulence, but this thing makes toads look sleek. And I am gutted that they used the window in window concept. We really don't need people making any mental connections between the SVX and this antithesis of elegance. I don't like it. Joe
