Auto
Spyker, the Dutch luxury car brand, is making a comeback after two bankruptcies by launching the new C8 Preliator, a supercar packing an 800-hp twin-turbo V-8 that hits more than 349km/h.
The Preliator signals Spyker's return to building exclusive, high-performance cars for true enthusiasts.
C8 Preliator to debut August 14
The C8 Preliator gets its official debut at Quail Lodge in Carmel Valley on August 14, 2026, showing off at Quail Lodge as chassis number 270, meaning only 269 modern-era Spykers exist so far.
Final assembly will take place in the Netherlands.
CEO Victor Muller says this model sticks to pure V-8 power only, no hybrids or electric motors, staying true to what makes Spyker special.
