Driving the strangest supercar in the world!

i still think its super sick that missy drives stick supercars lol. makes me like her even more

[@ImNotLostButWhereAmI]

Ya I would not have expected to hear that about her. Everyone with loads of money is gonna pick up a Lamborghini or Ferrari. Adding a spyker to your collection proves it’s not about status but a real passion for the cars. Very cool.

[@imSchwaggy]

Always appreciated Ed's willingness to actually use his cars, even the expensive ones. I die a little everytime I see a huge fleet of cars that just sit in a garage or warehouse while the owner waits to see which ones will appreciate the most.

[@ralkia]

rich guys having 30 cars in their garage that they never drive isn't even them owning cars, it's just an arbitrary d1cc measuring contest.

Ed, out of all the cars you own, I believe in my opinion the Spyker is the coolest. Seems everyone nowadays owns a Murcielago, Aventador, Scuderia or R8. What you have there is something special. Cool factor, I would put it up there with a Veyron. Enjoy the car!

[@cdula26]

[@RobinLikeABoss]

I grew up loving the brand. It's one of the few things I take pride in as a Dutch person. Always loved the Spyker cars (Donkervoort is a great Dutch brand too). Spyker just has a rocky existence, sadly. But yea, great cars, seen a couple different models here and there in real life and I'm a huge fan.

[@ocker2000]

I got to sit in a racing version of a Spyker car at a tradeshow in Amsterdam once! The history of these modern Spykers is absolutely nuts. As a dutchman I am proud that in our country with so many rules and regulations the Spyker team made such an eccentric beautiful design work for a limited time. They made their mark and car enthusiasts around the world are finally giving it the recognition it deserves (Van Gogh-like after death). Enjoy it while you can!

[@markcole4736]

I saw this amazing car at a car show at Avalon in Alpharetta, GA. The car has such a unique look which makes it so special. The design of everything put the other super cars on display see mundane. Glad I got to see it in person.

Back when Spyker still existed I worked at Schiphol Airport. One of the shipping companies that was close to my work shipped all the Spykers around the world including the Spyker Racing team. I saw a lot off Spykers back then. Still an amazing car these days.

[@dineshbrahmam3528]

I still have pictures on my phone of seeing one whenever I was up in Boston probably 11 years ago. It was black with a cream interior and had the 4 spoke steering wheel. Seeing one in person gave me a massive appreciation for them, gorgeous cars and so unique too.

[@aaronself2411]

I fell in love with the Spyker the first time I saw the shifter, the entire car is like a poetic homage to everything cars are, while still being at it's core a functional vehicle. Truly one of the greatest cars ever made if for that alone.

This is Ed the salesman looking for a double up. I love it

[@ROTTBOXX]

the Spyker is still one of the sexiest cars ever made. that interior is still ahead of its time even today.

Small world: I was at Motor Cars of Georgia in 2010 getting an E46 M3 Tranny swapped and while looking at a Spyker in the showroom, I overheard a sales rep say they were on the phone with Missy Elliot because a taillight had went out on her Spyker. Neat to see the actual car driving. Ed you may have been there that day!

[@augere9620]

Doug is the reason why when I seen one of these in person I was able to spit a few facts on the car to people at the car show. These cars are so underrated for someone that is really into the car driving experience.

Shortly after Spyker bought Saab the owner of Just Saab in Cincinnati bought a C8. It's a beautiful car, I love the interior design and of course the exposed shifter linkage. The oddest thing were what appeared to be exposed stainless steel sheet metal screws on the front splitter. They didn't look bad, but its like they were an afterthought.

I was not wanting to be too intrusive on your visit and was a little rushed because my girlfriend had just arrived needing me to take her somwhere but when you get a chance come back to the showroom so I can redeem myself missing a perfectly good opportunity to do some actually interesting content with you.
