SOPHISTICATED
ZEEWOLDE, THE NETHERLANDS, 5 MARCH 2013 -- Spyker N.V. (“Spyker”) today revealed a new exotic compact, 2-door, mid-engine sports car at a press conference in Geneva.
2013 marks the global resurgence of Spyker as a creator of meticulously built automobiles whose beauty is equaled by their unrivaled craftsmanship. The brand’s revival is heralded byhe introduction of the SPYKER B6 VENATOR CONCEPT, a unique alternative in the High Luxury Sports sector, at the 83rd Geneva International Motor Show. The SPYKER B6 VENATORCONCEPT is a compact, 2-door mid-engine sports car that will offer the discerning driver of the highest standards a new choice, delivering a rare combination of heritage, design, performance and exclusivity.
Designed by Victor R. Muller, Chief Executive Officer of Spyker N.V., the SPYKER B6 VENATOR CONCEPT makes a defiantly contemporary statement whilst paying homage to its past, making it instantly recognizable as a Spyker. Highly detailed design, bespoke materials andaviation-inspired elements are a core part of the Spyker DNA. With the announcement of the
SPYKER B6 VENATOR CONCEPT, the company once again proves its Latin axiom: “Nullatenaci invia est via” – “For the tenacious no road is impassable.” The name “Venator” is Latinas well, meaning “Hunter” – a nod back to Spyker’s “Hunter” fighter aircraft of the early 20th century.
The SPYKER B6 VENATOR CONCEPT will begin production in early 2014 for key markets including Europe, the Middle East, Asia Pacific and India, followed by the US in autumn 2014.The SPYKER B6 VENATOR CONCEPT is being shown for the first time at the 83rd Geneva International Motor Show alongside the Spyker C8 Aileron that was first introduced at the
2009 Geneva International Motor Show. The design of the Spyker C8 Aileron represente another significant step in the evolution of Spyker, shifting from propeller to turbine inspired design.
The introduction of the SPYKER B6 VENATOR CONCEPT marks the beginning of a new era for the brand, one that will include a significant increase in production led by a management team that has never been stronger. Last year Spyker expanded its global leadership with the appointment of John Walton as Chief Commercial Officer. Together, Muller and Walton are leading a passionate team that is supremely dedicated to creating unique and beautiful highperformance sports luxury cars.
