After some years of financial problems, Spyker is back with this new car. If you ask me.....I'm not a big fan of the designs of Spyker. But this new Venator in my opinion is quite good!

And here some previous Spyker models. The first ever Dutch-build Spyker cars were direct competitors of the Benz cars from Germany:

The first 6 cylinder engine ever build....for the Spyker 60 HP (1903):

    Very nice.

    It looks quite Bondian from the side but I find the radiator grill a bit ostentatious and the UKIP and Daily Mail brigade would go mental if Bond started driving continental. The BMW era during Brozzas reign was not really a success was it?

    I could off course try and convince Spyker to offer a very nice marketing deal to EON Productions :-P. Just to follow Heineken's footsteps :-P. Moreover, I think Spyker cars were used in 'Basic Instinct 2' and 'Fast And Furious 6'.

    Just saw one of them yesterday evening in an episode of Rizzoli and Isles. Cool car ! But what do the Top Gear team think of it ?

    Christ I think thats reason enough for Bond never to drive one.

    Quite - if its not good enough for Clarkson then its certainly not good enough for Bond.

    Would be a great car for the Bond villain no ;-) (Bond ALWAYS needs to drive his Aston Martin) ?!?!?

    Well I don't it suit Bond at all it should a Villain car. Yes Bond always will drive British iconic except this.

    Wow. I'm not a big car guy, but that is one incredibly beautiful machine. Definitely looks Bondian from the side in those first pictures, I have to agree.
