Spyker has returned to the automotive market following its second bankruptcy in 2021. Co-founder Victor Muller regained the rights to the brand in October 2025, shifting the company's focus toward the high-end, limited-run supercar segment to compete with brands like Pagani and Bugatti.
The company has finalized the engineering for its new C8 Preliator XXV Coupe. The vehicle features a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing 800 horsepower and 1,000 Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed manual transmission. Each car requires approximately 2,100 hours of hand-assembly.
Production is limited to 25 units of the C8 Preliator XXV Coupe, with deliveries scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2027. All units are expected to be completed by the end of 2028. The company plans to maintain a total annual production volume of 50 vehicles.
Muller identified the company's past expansion into Formula 1 and the 2010 acquisition of Saab for $394 million as the primary causes of previous financial failures. Spyker has now secured new funding to support its current business model.
