I love how it doesn’t have satellite navigation or any tech. Its a car that won’t let technology make it old in a few years. Nothing kills a car faster than outdated tech. In 50 years it will still be beautiful.
Very very true. Those multimedia screens make me lose it completely and I have deep, deep hate for touch buttons. The person who came up with touch screens in a car should be shot and dragged out to the streets.
This car is actually genius. Same concept as Bugatti's Veyron, no screens that end up outdated and old-looking after a couple years, nothing attempting to look modern only to fall out of style soon after...It's designed timeless, brilliant really.
@Diego Arteaga Lopez Even tho im not a jdm fanboy cars like the supra mk4 going up in price and those arent that rare or owned by famous ppl even the mk3 will go up soon probably
Must have seen this clip a dozen times over the years. Today was the first time I came across one on the road. Spotted it from a good distance, telling my misses to look, that's something special in the distance. Caught up with it and turned out to be a C8. Style-wise, it could have rolled out of a factory yesterday. Wonderous piece of design.
A 1985 Twingo is just what you need! I saw a used one going for 50 Eur the other day, the guy had put new tyres on it too! He took a picture of the tread and everything!
Mind you all, the car also comes (err, came, not sure if they're still producing them) in a standard hardtop version that looks much better, aside from a goofy vortex generator on the roof.
Interior was designed with the WW1 aircraft in mind. The steering wheel for example is designed after a propeller. Too bad you won't hear much lately about them, they still produce cars but hardly any press coverage about it. New models include 'C8 Aileron' (concept), 'B6 Venator' (concept) and 'B6 Venator Spyder' (concept). All look a bit like a famous specific British car... Yet better!
I'm still in love with this car... especially that steering wheel and open-linkage shifter. Bloody brilliant! Too bad they've changed the steering wheel to one with an airbag pretty quickly...
@@fallenmango8420 Yeah, because everyone died in a crash before the invention of the airbag... :P Never buy a vintage car then, stay in your safe plastic bubbles...
I would choose this car over any other car of that price range based on both performance and especially looks. The exterior, but mainly the interior is simply stunning.
You absolutely know nothing of science. As also partly Dutch also Indonesian. Big forehead means Genius also Aries Ascendant in Astrology. You should live around the world so at least the world can be smart.
LOL, Jeremy Clarkson has the wonderful ability to make you giggling madly at one moment, then have you calling out in righteous indignation the next moment... -after which you're laughing even louder. I love this show.
I was the car deal;er in London that represented Spyker back then. Little garage on Radley Mews call Hunt and Keal. We were a Spyker, Morgan, and Subaru dealer.....with a few classic Bentleys and Rolls thrown in for fun. It was a great place to work and I have many a happy afternoon with the Spyker. We had a very early production car......the brakes where shocking and the fuel filler (in one of the air scoops) would not allow you to fill up without it clicking out the entire time. I must have done 2 or 3 thousand miles in it and loved every second though!
How many Spyker cars did you sell in the UK, do you know how many Spykers are made and sold in total in the world ? I ask because after them going out of business it is probably impossible to buy one especially the black version with Bordeaux red interior. They are more rare than any other limited edition supercar in the world. They are talking about reviving Spyker, but as usual the CEO has trouble financing it. He tough he could take over Saab back in the day which was Spykers downfall.
i love the gearbox.. the stick looks great and i love the way it works.. very mechanical! this car is actually very very small.. almost like a small hatch!
i saw one of these in person last month. it was deep blue with a tan interior. it was unbelievably gorgeous. there was a Veyron SS right behind it and there is simply no comparison.
I love the Spyker C8. Inside and out it looks so cool. I love the noise, it sounds incredible. I think if they were doing the cool wall, they'd have to make a new section on the cool wall for this.
Goated car and company. Spyker is Dutch’s version of Pagani. Sure it’s fast however, that’s not the reason you buy the those cars. You buy them because of how beautiful they look. Rolling art pieces tbh.
I must say, as a Dutchman, I laughed my ass off at Jeremy's comments about the Dutch! 0:35 - 1:40 spot on 2:44 - 3:00 that Dutch accent is pure gold! 6:02 - 6:12 ouch.. good one though Brilliant hahaha
Dutch people are so fkn awesom, really! I love the Dutch. They are VERRY direct, no jibberjabberish, just straigh to the point. They are all high educated, speak Enlish almost perfect. And Amsterdam, ow my Amsterdam. Just love it. And this car sums it all up!
This really is gorgeous styling. Mercy, it's the perfect balance of subtlety and outrage. This, and the Eagle Speedster have to be my favorite works of art from Top Gear. As long as that BUTTLEY looking top ain't on it.
Ahum ahum excuse me, I think you mean Belgium? 😝 At least I thought that's what people thought of us, but maybe we're too small of a country to be considered, or people like chocolate more.
@@Hallo-ex8nk The Walloons don't count, they're more French than Belgian. Besides, Dutch people only speak Dutch and English, that's hardly many. The Flemish speak Dutch, French, English and German. And sometimes more, like I also speak Spanish and my friends also Italian and Portuguese, or Chinese. We have more of a knack for languages, as we mix Germanic and Roman from an early age, being so close to France.
Jolien Depotter so half the country doesn’t count in Belgium? Prima hoor jolien maar het gaat hier over een land. Of je moet België niet meer zien als legitiem land....
@@Hallo-ex8nk They're like a fraction of the country, fyi. It's a big region, but very sparsely inhabited. Most of us are Flemish or a mix of both, like in and around Brussels. And it is part of the country, for sure, just wish they'd start behaving like it. Like Dutch is a choise there, with us French is obligatory, but that's just one example. As a Dutch person, I wouldn't get into it. You have no chance of understanding this mess that has been going on for ages. Just accept that we're more talented when it comes down to language knowledge 😉
It looks absolutely great, sound good, and i can imagine it must be lovely to drive. And if a car makes you feel good, you don't care about cars with better performance figures. I really adore this car. The only thing i don't like is the price...
Spyker did a unique and stunning car that was a real niche in the market. Saab acquisition was a dangerous move and actually not a real allied one. The past bankruptcy is just the result of a poor post-acquisition operating synergy that comes from implementation issues. The lost of their design manager also affected the result of the latest model which I personally do not like; a huge part of their retro features is missed. I would personally buy an old one, the investment would be always levered: if the company survives fine and that means they will redesign a better successor of the old C8; it deserves a better one than the Preliator. In the worse case senario the C8 jumps but it won't loose value as long as you do not crash it into a tree. P.S.: "It's more.....a kind of thing you use to attract the attention of other people in the tax heaven" Killed ahahaha !! Cheers
I love a car that looks plucked out of a parallel universe, it looked out of time when it was released and I can't tell if it looks more or less modern now.
Not much for newer cars save this one,love the interior and the dash is super classy,no high tech screens that go out of date and the 4spoke steering wheel is one of a kind,bet this car is a blessing to drive.
Like jeremy said, this car is not so much for people who like to go super fast on a circuit, but more to just accelerate very fast in the middle of a city, and look fabulous. If i had the money, i'd rather buy myself a fat juicy SLS AMG, which doesn't look as pretty, but is more bang for your buck.
I don't think those two models had overlapping production runs, though it may have for a very short period, so the SLS AMG wasn't exactly an option for those looking at the C8. Just sayin'.

The VOC people you are talking about also created beer brand Heineken. They had a shitload of money to market Heineken making it the second biggest beer brand in the world. The daughter of Heineken with a net worth of 18.4 billion dollars is the richest Dutch person in the world. VOC was the biggest company that ever existed selling flowers and spices for insane amounts of money.

Man, i need wotah. Do you got wotah
Thats how ewe spel it, isent it?
Beautiful looking car until it has a top on, then it looks like mix beetween a speed boat and pick up truck.
***** if you pay attention, jeremy clarkson states the stig drives the hardtop cause it makes for better aerodynamics, thus faster lap
+Mikael K Agreed that hard top makes it look utterly ugly.
+Mikael K Yeah the hard top looks horrible, imo. Gorgeous car otherwise.
Mikael K I think it's better with the roof
Mind you all, the car also comes (err, came, not sure if they're still producing them) in a standard hardtop version that looks much better, aside from a goofy vortex generator on the roof.
Interior was designed with the WW1 aircraft in mind. The steering wheel for example is designed after a propeller. Too bad you won't hear much lately about them, they still produce cars but hardly any press coverage about it. New models include 'C8 Aileron' (concept), 'B6 Venator' (concept) and 'B6 Venator Spyder' (concept). All look a bit like a famous specific British car... Yet better!
The interior honestly reminds me of a zonda
And that's also a masterpiece...
@Daan Made in Holland yeah. Both are beautiful though
...it’s the other way around...
I've seen this car at the Excel car show in London and I have to admit, it stands out as a stunning design, the interior is mental.
4:40 It's always sunny in Amsterdam
Ha, picked up on the always sunny music too
It’s always cloudy in Amsterdam
The gang drives a Dutch sports car.
12 years later, it still looks good and probably(or hopefully) still work. It has a very timeless look both interior and exterior
I'm still in love with this car... especially that steering wheel and open-linkage shifter. Bloody brilliant!
Too bad they've changed the steering wheel to one with an airbag pretty quickly...
Uh, probably for the best dontcha think??
@@fallenmango8420 No. This car is about style, not safety. There should've been an option at least to choose from the two steering wheels.
@@MetalTrabant Well ok then. Your funeral.
@@fallenmango8420 Yeah, because everyone died in a crash before the invention of the airbag... :P
Never buy a vintage car then, stay in your safe plastic bubbles...
I know right?,nothing more boring than a big ,ugly,airbag wheel,I love the 4spoke propeller styled wheel.
Every Top Gear review is a classic poem.
By clarkson, may and hammond only obviously.
Funny how so many countries think we speak german...
We speak dutch, it's a whole lot different.
and we make a fuking ugly car....
Rmo balk
Dont take me wrong, but this Dutch car is extremly ugly...
l like it
I would choose this car over any other car of that price range based on both performance and especially looks. The exterior, but mainly the interior is simply stunning.
how do you say woman in dutch? :)
I would buy one, it has so much personality, something cars these days lreally lack
Donkervoort and Daf are also Dutch
David Van Puijenbroek and Savage Rivale, Heynsdyk and Burton
The Rivale is Dutch?!
+MsYar2000 Yes.
+David Van Puijenbroek But remember, this was 2003/2004: I'm not sure Donkervoort existed yet and DAF is a truck maker: not car maker...
Ben Ward Daf was a car maker in the 60's and 70's look on Google for Daf 66 or Daf 55 Coupe
"Had a bit of a Schmoke 😂😂"
Between the car, the Always Sunny music, and Jeremy saying pass the dutchy on the left hand side, this is absolute perfection 🤌
Clarckson always comes up with the best words to talk about cars ! "It's a car you wear"... Brilliant !
The C8 is one of the beautiest cars ever made. I love this insane quality of beautiful details. Stunning
12 years on, the car has aged better than Clarkson....
Until it put the hardtop......
They are 380k pounds now
With the hardtop, it aged 300 years
It is worth 300.000+ euros right now
wat?
this car looks perfect....without the hardtop on. with it on it looks like a guy with a huge forehead
Haha I didn't understand what you meant but then I got to 7:27 😂
even with it it still looks good. from the bottom
Why does It look like a truck
If i would buy one i would buy a coupe and not a spyder cuz the hard top looks sooo damn ugly
You absolutely know nothing of science. As also partly Dutch also Indonesian. Big forehead means Genius also Aries Ascendant in Astrology.
You should live around the world so at least the world can be smart.
"There's no airbag either, but being impaled on this steering wheel, what a to go" gets me everytime 😆

Beautiful car! Just never drive it with the hardtop... just don't.
Grarder You can buy it non convertible and it looks better.
I really like using cars daily in any weather and on any road, but I would only use this one on sunny days. Because that hardtop is a crime…
I would rather buy the Laviolette then xD
The hardtop reminds me alot of Tommykaira ZZ, so im fine with it
4:40. i just died. what a joke track to use. i just think: Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia. LOL
😂😂😂😂

+Miron Klescik A little bit, yeah
Little bit, kinda like a db7
Miron Klescik yes i do agree
i love the gearbox.. the stick looks great and i love the way it works.. very mechanical! this car is actually very very small.. almost like a small hatch!
For anyone wondering at 3:15, the song is Ash by Orpheus.
4:07 “...but being impaled on this WHEEL! WHAT A WAY TO GO!!” 😂😂😂😂
Love this car, looks amazing! Real Dutch pride!! Wonder how it feels like to drive it! Job well done guys!
i saw one of these in person last month. it was deep blue with a tan interior. it was unbelievably gorgeous. there was a Veyron SS right behind it and there is simply no comparison.
12 years later the car still looks modern
I love how the song at 5:00 is only recognizable as the Always Sunny theme
The car is sexy as hell... until they put the hardtop on it.
Chase H one of the select group that look better as a convertible
I love the Spyker C8. Inside and out it looks so cool. I love the noise, it sounds incredible. I think if they were doing the cool wall, they'd have to make a new section on the cool wall for this.
Not only did Clarkson embody the essence of being dutch, but when he honked the horn it was perfect. I'm gonna stop here and have a cigarette.
The angle at 7:57 reminds me of the Jag XK a bit
Beautiful! I absolutely adore the interior! This and the interior of the Pagani Huayra are just fantastic!
This is one of Jeremy's greatest reviews
All Jeremy’s reviews are great. He’s a poet.
Fun how the song at 4:41 used to be shorthand for "classy and refined" and now it sounds like Danny DeVito emerging nude from inside a leather couch
Goated car and company. Spyker is Dutch’s version of Pagani. Sure it’s fast however, that’s not the reason you buy the those cars. You buy them because of how beautiful they look.
Rolling art pieces tbh.
5:05 did any1 but me notice the Its always sunny in Philadelpia music?
lol it does sound like it
fuck ya
Of course. Brilliant show, brilliant music. Fitting for 'Sunny in Philly' too. Well, it's not, but the irony of this theme makes it strangely fitting.
I must say, as a Dutchman, I laughed my ass off at Jeremy's comments about the Dutch!
0:35 - 1:40 spot on
2:44 - 3:00 that Dutch accent is pure gold!
6:02 - 6:12 ouch.. good one though

What a timelessly beautiful car. It looks like a '96 Supra had a baby with some exotic car, like a Lotus.
Never underestimate the same guys who made the VoC a thing 😂
The VOC people you are talking about also created beer brand Heineken. They had a shitload of money to market Heineken making it the second biggest beer brand in the world. The daughter of Heineken with a net worth of 18.4 billion dollars is the richest Dutch person in the world. VOC was the biggest company that ever existed selling flowers and spices for insane amounts of money.
As always top gear shows allot of respect towards the netherlands.......

Cause it looks like upperclass Dutch. Which is the worst kind of Dutch.
Not a fan of the way it looks with the roof on.
This car is fantastic...beautiful rolling art !!!
Love the exposed shifter. The highlight of the entire car for me.
