2006 Spyker C8 Spyder: The Dutch Connection

If you drive a Spyker long enough, you’ll begin to memorize your answer to the inevitable at-the-gas-station question: what the hell is that thing? The Dutch supercar company can trace its roots back to the late 19th century when it was coach-building cars and airplanes, and even though the current owners have little to do with the origin story, the C8s were still produced in the Netherlands during the car’s decade-plus of limited-series production. Today we take a ride with James Chen and his 2006 C8 Spyder on the outskirts of Los Angeles.
