Description
This 2008 Spyker C8 Laviolette was displayed by the manufacturer at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show before being delivered to Beerens Spyker in Antwerp. Claimed as the sole example finished in Black Olive over Saddle leather upholstery, the car has traveled just 171 kilometers (~106 miles) and is powered by an Audi-sourced 4.2-liter V8 linked to a Getrag six-speed manual transaxle. It is equipped with a glass-canopy roof, split metal-framed side windows, a Whisper Mode exhaust system, magnesium 19″ Aeroblade wheels, Koni inboard shock absorbers, turned aluminum interior trim, an exposed gear-change lever, keyless entry, air conditioning, and a four-spoke Aeroblade steering wheel, the last of which was added during a 2020 service by Spyker expert Jasper den Dopper. The car was then imported in 2020 to the US, where it spent time on display at the Petersen Automotive Museum between 2021 and 2022 before being acquired by the selling dealer in 2026. This C8 Laviolette is now offered in Costa Mesa, California, by the selling dealer as part of the Iconic Collection from Private Collection Motors , with leather fitted luggage, a trickle charger, and a clean Montana title. The C8 Laviolette was introduced in 2001 as Spyker’s second C8 model. It shares much of its design with the 2000 C8 Spyder but features a canopy-style, glass-paned roof with an integrated polished aluminum intake. This example features a Black Olive exterior finish with polished accents.
