Spyker has revealed in its annual report that it will reveal a convertible version of the Venator Concept revealed at Geneva 2013 – the Spyker B6 Venator Spyder. Spyker has always promised much but not actually managed to deliver anything really significant. But there is promise in the new Spyker B6 Venator we saw at [...]

The Spyker B6 Venator has been revealed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show with Victor Muller hoping it will go in to production in 2014. At the weekend we had the first look at the first new car from Spyker for quite some time – the Spyker B6 Venator. And we have to say, it looks pretty good. Now., [...]

Spyker Venator

The first photo of the Spyker Venator – Spyker’s new car concept for the Geneva Motor Show – has arrived ahead of a reveal next week. If the modern history of Spyker (and of Saab) has taught us anything, it’s that you should never doubt the ability of a dapper, self-confident, deal-making Dutchman to bounce back from adversity. Many would have [...]

Spyker B6 Concept tease

Spyker is teasing the B6 Concept for the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, which is probably Spyker’s take on the Porsche 911. A couple of weeks ago we reported that Victor Muller has new plans for Spyker and would be turning up at the Geneva Motor Show in March with a new concept. Now, Spyker has [...]

It seems that Victor Muller is planning not just a Spyker ’911′ for Geneva, but a Spyker ‘Supercar’ with oodles of power too. We discovered last year that Victor Muller has picked up the reins at Spyker once more, dragged in some investment from China and was working on the return of the Spyker D8 Peking-Paris super SUV (that [...]

Spyker and China’s Youngman are launching joint ventures to build the Spyker D8 SUV and develop the Saab Phoenix platform. Did you really think Victor Muller would come out of Saab with nothing? Especially after he told is in April he was looking for investors to push the Spyker D8 SSUV in to production? Muller’s Spyker and China’s Youngman [...]

Spyker has filed a law suit against General Motors for $3 billion for refusing to allow Saab to be sold to the Chinese. Victor Muller is not the kind of man who gives up until he’s exhausted every avenue to get what he wants. Which might explain why Spyker has just issued a $3 billion [...]

Saab: Could Spyker restart production of the Saab 9-5?

Saab 9-5 Spyker

The key to the future of Saab is possibly the right to manufacture the Saab 9-5. Could that bring Spyker and Victor Muller back? It’s now almost three months since bidding by prospective saviours of Saab ended, yet we’re still waiting for a decision from the administrators as to which company is the preferred bidder. From an [...]

Victor Muller dusts off the Spyker D8 Peking-Paris

Spyker D8 Peking-Paris

Victor Muller is back trying to grab more investors with plans to put the Spyker D8 Peking-Paris in to production. Again. Just when we thought the demise of Saab would see Victor Muller buy a pipe and slippers and retire to Switzerland to contemplate his motoring adventures in to his dotage, CPP goes bust after Vlad the [...]

CPP sold – Spyker moves back to Holland

Spyker moving back to Holland

The fallout from Vladimir Anotonov’s problems has seen Brendan O’Toole losing CPP, and Spyker is now moving back to Holland. We knew that the arrest of Vladimir Antonov over banking ‘irregularities’ would cause problems for CPP Manufacturing and CPP Global Holdings. And it has. Founder and 50 per cent shareholder Brendan O’Toole has had to sell out [...]
