Spyker Cars

After the first big online-only foray by the biggest automotive auction cluster on Planet Earth, it's clear that automobiles are not particularly suited to online-only auctions, but that significant strides were made in the right direction.

Spyker unveiled the topless version of its supercar, the C8 Preliator, at the Geneva Motor Show with a surprise announcement. The small-volume carmaker is dropping the Audi powertrain originally planned for the Preliator in favor of an engine from fellow supercar maker Koenigsegg.

The LA Auto Show started this week and New Atlas spent a few days speed-walking the floor to get the scoop on new cars, trucks, urban transporters and auto technology. We've put together an overflowing gallery of the best of the best cars for your viewing pleasure.

From practical new hatchbacks to ground-hugging hypercars with tight links to the world of Formula 1, 2016 has had its share of exciting new automotive announcements. In terms of pure speed, these 10 production cars sit at the top of this year's class.

In the world of high-end automotive luxury brands, there are cars for the millionaire next door, and then there's Spyker. At Geneva, this was made readily apparent with the unveiling of the latest super sport coupe from the former warplane maker. Only 50 Spyker C8 Preliators will be made.

Imagine a sports car show held not in an exhibition center, but at a racetrack, so the cars can be appreciated in natural surroundings, without speed limits. The first "International GT & Supercar Show" will be held at Paul Ricard on September 26/27

Exclusive sportscar-maker Spyker Cars has kept true to its promise made in March at the Geneva Auto Show by debuting the first prototype of the open-top Spyder version of its second-generation Spyker C8 Aileron.
