Overview

The Spyker C12 LaTurbie was the first Spyker to run the 6.0 litre VW Group W12 dry sump aluminum engine, giving a power output of 500 BHP and a torque of 600 NM. Top speed is 325 km/h (202 mph) with an acceleration of 0–100 km/h (0-60 mph) in 3.9 seconds. A manual six-speed gearbox will be fitted with "an F1 style paddle shift under development". The car has two luggage compartments, with a leather Lois Vuitton luggage set available to order, specially designed to fit. Inside, gauges are designed by Swiss watchmaker Chronoswiss, which also produces limited-edition Spyker branded wristwatches.

This is Spyker's third long wheel based car, including C8 Double12 S and the C8 Double12 Spyder, which have V8 engines rather than W12s.
