It’s a slam-dunk on first sight, this Preliator. The eyes narrow, the breath quickens.
Look at the wheel. Look at that shift. Look at the stitching, the care, the craft. In a world of pretenders and overhyped relaunches, here comes something worth driving, owning, treasuring.
It’s got a 4.2 liter, 8-cylinder, supercharged engine courtesy of Audi, making 518 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque that’ll blast you from 0-62 MPH in 3.7 seconds, with a top speed of 201. It’s rear-wheel drive, mated to either a six-speed manual or available automatic.
Pricing starts at about $350,000. Good luck getting one, though –
there will be only 50 Spyker C8 Preliatorins in the world when the
company is finished making them; the first was recently unveiled in
Geneva.
