[AnthonyF]

[i4_garage]

[gobraves00]

i took my airbags out, theres no law for it, some insurance companies might frown on it and charge more, nice ride though, was it black or another color

[ORGANIZATIONXIII]

I've never heard of a spyker

[Kyle]

So they are finally here, nice, can't wait to see one.

I've never heard of a spyker
:eek:

[koi]

I would have creamed my pants if I saw that thing. What a work of art.

[Nittanys1]

wow thats crazy!!!

[OneSlow5pt0]

love that car......guess were getting some good cars now

[mushroom_toy]

Looks like it would be fast and an all around nice car...but not my cup of tea.

[VooDooXII]

Apparently, their handling isn't all that great. Understeers, and the brakes are "wooden"...but I would damn near kill for one of those. The craftsmanship is amazing...I mean, look at the interior. I love the peanut-butter diamond quilted leather, the engine turned aluminium, the switches, and the exposed shift linkage. It's like nothing I've seen before.

Hah, on Top Gear, Clarkson says something about it looking like a fish.

"It's not like a carp or a shark...but more like a bottom-feeder. Then again, this car does come from Amsterdam...and they're into that sort of thing."

[NAG2I]

i live right around hamilton mill and ive seen that thing a bunch of times
thanks and reps cause i couldnt figure out what it was before this! :goodjob:

[james]

I took these pics at a charity event at ferrari atlanta. the event is called dream ride for kids. the euro steering wheel is way cooler than the us version.

and if you are a facebook user, you can see the rest of the pictures here:

[Elbow]

Spykers are interesting, but damn ugly I think.

[Driftk1d350z]

ive seen one in chateau elan

might be the same one...

[VooDooXII]

Ahhh...I like the four-spoke propeller-style steering wheel.

[santacruz77]

i agree but very nice and looks like art but ya looks like a 80's kit car or somthing.

Wow

[Jecht]

Generally ugly and looks way to busy. I would rather have that ^ Porsche.

[VooDooXII]

The Spyker's interior wins me over.

[speedminded]

i took my airbags out, theres no law for it, some insurance companies might frown on it and charge more, nice ride though, was it black or another colorAny car manufactured after 1996 that is imported to the US has to have airbags. ;) Now whether you take it out after you buy it doesn't matter one bit...except maybe to your insurance company when they can decide not to pay out a claim if you're seriously injured.

[SpecV_Scott]

I think it's hideous but I can appreciate it.

[JennB]

I've seen the dark blue one that was posted on the last page. It's LOUD. I saw it being chased by a Ferrari on Spalding Drive. Pretty cool.

I've seen that one, a silver one, yellow one and black. I think they are pretty darn cool. They look awful with the little top on but without, nice. Much better in person. The interior is amazing.


Examples:

So much better without the top. Besides, the frameless windshield is too awesome not to show off

[Doppelgänger]

Yeah, if you guys think the car is ugly... you have another thing coming. I didnt like it at first, but now i love them. They sound mean as hell too. The ones i have seen here have the Euro steering wheels for some odd reason. Spyker interior FTMFW! love the exposed shift linkage.

Oh, btw, they actually go for around $280,000

Mine mine mine!

Gosh, I love these cars.

[OneSlow5pt0]

that GT3 is ugly

deff spyker

[itgosplodey]

The front looks a lot like an Aston Martin. :goodjob:

[LokiSays]

not my kinda style :(

If you wreck that car, you dont need an airbag, you deserve to die.

I really like the Metallic color, looks bad ass with the dark tan leather.


nothing against trymy4.0, just making a point that its plain and simple:
Dont drive expensive ass cars if you cant drive worth shit! I cant stand to hear about how exotics and other nice cars have been wrecked from the carelessness of the driver.




...rant over

[unkn0wndj]

ive seen one in chateau elan

might be the same one...

it is.

[OneSlow5pt0]

since when do u have to have a airbag?

theirs tons of new cars without them

[Leadfoot_mf]

now if they can ever finish a f1 race other than last haha

[VooDooXII]

There are nearly no new cars on the market now that don't have an airbag.

The Saleen S7 is the only one I can think of.

not in us but in Europe there are some TVR at least.

[_Christian_]

i've seen them at the bimmer store. interesting cars but idk if i feel all of the design cues.

[Glides]

Looks like a Buck Rogers toy from the 1950's.

I think thats the car that Jet Li drives in WAR too.

[OneSlow5pt0]

i know Nobles dont have them,TVRs dont....and i believe Lotus dont have them and ultima(or whatever that thing is called)

[speedminded]

i know Nobles dont have them,TVRs dont....and i believe Lotus dont have them and ultima(or whatever that thing is called)Ultima GTR's are kit cars, that is the only way they can be brought into the states...that's why i call BS on the "production car" records it holds, you can get a turnkey in Europe but Ultima is still basically just a parts manufacturer that supplies a kit.

All Lotus production cars in the US have airbags.

Noble "production" cars have driver, passenger, and side airbags in Europe...and they too are kit cars in the US. You can not buy a M400 from 1gRacing (the only US distributor) with the engine and transmission installed. That's the only way around the US safety regulations. The 2008 Rossion Q1 will be available as a kit or include the powertrain for an extra $20k.

A TVR is just as legal in the US as a Skyline, it's not imported here but you can still obtain them with $$$. TVR of North America was in Canada and only one model was ever fully legal in the US, the 280i from 1984 to 1987...

okay asshat how about superformance cobras and aerial atom. :goodjob:

[speedminded]

The F430 was banned from the US until the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration granted it excemption of the 2008 and 2008 airbag ruling. They said the passenger side airbag wasn't suffiecient enough for kids and smaller passengers...Ferrari petitioned saying there would be virtually no children in the vehicle and succeded.

[speedminded]

okay asshat how about superformance cobras and aerial atom. :goodjob:The Ariel Atom was only available as a rolling chassis from England, the Ariel Atom 2 by Brammo Motorsports is distributed through Trak Motorsports Inc. in Cananda, not the US...it's a kit minus the drivetrain or available as a turnkey.

yeah in a f430 you will be making kids not transporting them. :lmfao:

[speedminded]

Superperformance manfactures kit cars that are sold through distributors in the US that can assemble them for you ;)

I've met several retired Delta pilots that brought in Lotus Super 7's back in the day piece by piece on passenger flights :D

[keevo54]

The guy with that car lives in Chateau ELan and has a restaurant by Hamilton Mill. He used to have a black lambo
