    Spyker C12 Laturbie 2006

    Spyker C12 Laturbie

    In March 1922, the Dutch nobleman Hugo Baron van Pallandt won a hill climb race held on the Mont de La Turbie near Monte Carlo with his Standard Spyker C4. In commemoration of this win the new 12-cylinder Spyker bears the name LaTurbie.
    The Spyker C12 LaTurbie is the first Spyker to run the extremely powerful 6.0 liter Audi W12 dry sump aluminum engine. This car has a power output of 500 bhp and a gigantic torque of 443 lb-ft. Top speed is 196 mph and can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds. Weight of the car is a mere 3362 lbs. The car is fitted with a manual six-speed gearbox. An F1 style paddle shifter is under development. The C12 LaTurbie is fitted with Spyker's in-house designed 19" Aeroblade wheels as standard. Other features include rear wheel drive with Drexler limited slip differential, ABS, and a light weight aluminum space frame with integrated roll cage and a glass hard top. The dual exhaust makes the overwhelming signature Spyker sound.

    It's a beautifull car, haven't seen it in real live yet. I took some pics of a Spyker C8 Spyder today, I will post them in my own thread right away.
    In March Spyker will launch the 4x4 SSUV (Super Sport Utility Vehicle), I am curious what it's gonna look like.
