Spyker the car company has been given a reprieve.

Now they need to find partners to develop with GT team cars.

CEO Victor Muller started the GT2 project several years ago, so yes he likes racing. I hope they find sponsors to fund an entry in LMS or ALMS.

Yes, great news for Spyker. Lets hope they can turn around their hemorrhaging with the exit from F-1 and regain a thriving business which will allow them to return to GT racing!

According to Autoblog.nl this will indeed be the case; the Spyders will be replaced by Laviolette Coupes next year. Engines will remain the same, 4.2 Audi V8's resized to 3.8L.

  • Currently they are building 4 new cars based on the C8 Laviolette
  • Laviolette has better aerodynamics
  • Audi 3.8L V8 450 bhp (engines from crashed Audi road cars)
  • No long wheelbase (not enough road cars build)
