Spyker D8 to return in 2014

According To Khabar Khodro , Spyker is set to unveil a revised D8 Peking to Paris super-SUV at next year’s Geneva motor show, eight years after the original concept appeared at the Swiss expo.

The Dutch sports car maker is putting new impetus behind the ‘P2P’ project after forging a joint venture with Chinese company Youngman.

Spyker chief Victor Muller told, “The engineering has been done, but we need to build the tools and put the car into production.”

Muller estimates there is potential to sell up to 1000 examples of the premium 4x4, predominantly in emerging markets like China and Russia.

“No one has put in the marketplace a mid-engined supersports vehicle with four doors and four-wheel drive,” he added.

Spyker will turn its attention to the P2P after it has signed off the B6 Venator, the 375bhp V6-powered, Porsche 911-sized sports car it showed at Geneva this year ahead of a market launch in 2014.
