It is impossible not to notice that more and more
companies are developing special editions for the Chinese market. And if
Lamborghini has the Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce China Limited Edition,
then it seems Spyker is welcome to bring the C8 Laviolette Special Edition for
China to the Shanghai Auto Show. The company is already accepting orders and
have announced a price of 4.8 million yuan (US$ 735,000).
The Spyker C8 Laviolette Special Edition for China
will feature an orange body combined with a red, white, and blue flag
decoration. The vehicle’s body and external parts, such as mirrors, beautiful
inlets, and wheels, are all constructed from the best aluminum material.
Now that those minor aesthetic features have been
taken care, we move on to the most impressive feature of this special edition:
the 4.2-liter V8 engine. This engine has been tuned to deliver a total of 500
HP, up from the usual 400 HP. It is mated to a six-speed manual gearbox.
