If there is a ‘nation’ of cycling enthusiasts then surely Amsterdam must be the capital. Whoever is looking to make their mark on two wheels need search no further – the Dutch luxury sports car make Spyker has once again come up with something a little different.

I find this bicycle strangely attractive.

OMG..that bike is off the chain.. now im into bikes..and ive seen some wild stuff..but damn..this is nice.. i wonder how much it costs..

It is attractive and unusual. The shape of the spokes and the usage of the granular look and feel on the mud-guards and spokes is unusual and I wonder if there's some actual benefit for the shapes of the spokes like that. I'm a bit out of touch with the bicycle world and this may be a normal thing now in bikes, but the front suspension looked nice. But no matter how fancy a bike is, 12,500 Euros is a lot of Euros for any bike on any day.

The wheels are inspired by the propeller on the Spyker Logo. Spyker built planes in WW1 ...they also built the first 4x4 vehicle. Spyker also had associations with Wilhelm Maybach.


The C8's steering wheel spokes are also like a propellers blades.

Now this is nice and different for a car: just like a boat cabin! I really like this.
