Sorry, the title was a little misleading, as this thing will be Uber-expensive.....$259,000

The Spyker C8 Spyder







Go Go Gadet Dash!

Not to be rude, but.....what were they thinking? who is their market...do they even know? The outside looks like it's trying to be sports car, but the inside looks like a stage coach (and yes I read their background). The whole thing seems like a misguided project IMHO.

I like the retro diamond-stitch interior. The shifter is cool too.

Looks more like a GT drop top than a closet track car like the S.

Wow...Ummm...yeah...not really sure what to think about that car, but I am pretty sure that Dash will keep it from ever being legal for the road in the US.

Looks like the Carrera GT / Vanquish. 250k though.

I dont mean to question you, but what about the dash would make it illegal, why would a dash not meet the Federal standards, no air bag needed (limited production).
