Spyker Is Back: The 789-hp C8 Preliator XXV Makes Its Debut

Spyker has returned with a limited supercar debut: the C8 Preliator XXV, unveiled in Monterey. Spyker says it’s all-new, though it appears to be heavily reworked from the prior C8 Preliator. The design leans into the brand’s aviation cues, with NACA ducts, wheels inspired by propellers, and taillights shaped like jet afterburners, plus a center roof shark fin. The Quail Green paint includes rose-gold flakes, and buyers can choose standard aluminum finishes or more rose-gold treatments. Power comes from a twin-turbo 4.0-liter Audi-sourced V8 rated at 789 hp and 739 lb-ft, with a claimed 217 mph top speed and 0-60 mph in under three seconds. Production is capped at 25 cars.
