Make sure and look at those seats!!!

Yeah, that's the one. It's a hot little car. Fair weather only, though. The top is a $2500 option, and it's a biatch to put on.

PS - another HOT HOT HOT kit car coming out soon is the Factory Five Racing GTM coupe. That one will be 20k for the kit. It looks a lot like a Fort GT (150k car) and features a vette engine Hotness!

PPS - If you want to get crazy, check out the ULTIMATE of kit cars... and ALL cars, for that matter... the Ultima GTR. The kit itself is 90k + Engine and transmission!!!! Fully assembled, the car will set you back close to $150k. It will outperform an Enzo Ferrari, and a McLaren F1, though!

The Ultima GTR recently recorded the world record 0-100-0 time (11 seconds), in which it managed a 2.6 second 0-60 time. It corners at well over 1g and has 600+ horsepower in a 2300 pound shell !!!!!

I bought my Europa in 1978 and had a blast with it. I finally sold it this summer. I will miss it but now that I have my VX, I really didn't have a need for it. The car wasn't something you wanted to drive when the weather gets bad and it couldn't go near the places I can go now.

thats a real beauty....always wanted one., theyre so much different than almost all the sports cars of their era...very cool!!

Transio, have you driven the Ultima? I have, it's sold by the same guy over here who sells Donkervoort.
You need earplugs when you drive it though.
Because of exhaust emissions, the car is now only built with an Audi engine over here the same as the Spyker.


Which is also built here in the Netherlands.

Dutchguy,

I haven't had the pleasure of driving one. There are only a couple in the whole US. I have spoken to someone who has, though. Spyker is a beautiful car. I really love the interior and the stainless accents on the exterior. Very retro-modern!!!!

A friend of mine who is making my wheelcentre logo for cad, also designed the fuell tank of the Spyker, chances are I might get to drive one this summer!If I wanted to buy one I'd need a wheelbarrel full of cash.I could buy shares of Spyker as they are listed in the dutch stock exchange.
