If you had a Spyker D12 you'd probably be driving it on your private desert racetrack in Europe somewhere. To evidence the exoticity and ridiculousness of this mode, each of these vehicles is assigned a mechanic that is specially trained at Spyker's facility in Holland to service the automobile. It's futile to argue that the D12 isn't in a class of it's own. Sure, the Porshe Cayenne is one beauty of an SUV, but the D12 Super Sports Utility Vehicle can propel you up to 190mph.
This car was created to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of A. Spyker's adventurous drive from Peking to Paris. It was in 1903 that Spyker invented four-wheel drive. From 1914 - 1920, Spyker produced fighter planes to all customers during World War I. After all, Holland was a neutral country. The company's crest is the combination of a airplane propeller and car wheel to represent the past, present, and future of the Spyker brand name.
This silver and black beauty is a spectacle inside and out. The interior of this vehicle contains three speedometers! Much like on an airplane, all passengers have access to the speed of the vehicle. One meter for the drive, one placed in the center console for the front passenger, and one in the rear for the two riders in the back. The suicide doors open to reveal plush leather seats and an aluminum trim interior provide plush, stylish cabin room for up to 4 passengers. The unique exposed linkage shift for the semi-automatic transmission adds another unique touch to this vehicle.
Sure a Land Rover can provide the off-road capabilities an outdoors man craves, but the Spyker D12 can unleash a mouth-watering 500 horsepower and can be driven in desert conditions. The D12's engine is equivalent o the W12 heart that powers Bentley's Continental GT. Spyker is the only non-VW group brand licensed to use the engine. The 24" propeller-like rims are designed to cool the brakes and cannot between right and left sides of the car. Does the car's spare tire fit on the right side or left side? Maybe it has two.
