Ughhh, poor engine choice, if they used the more powerful 5.2L they would have got better fuel economy...

maybe the chassis can't handle a more powerful engine.

Then why don't they use a smaller more fuel efficient engine that gets 400hp?

Ever driven or owned one of these engines? you must be the only person around who doesn't think much of it.

lol even the srt8 charger gets more power and better fuel economy then the 4.2L r8. It's an abortion of an engine.

lol yeah you are right. it should have a dodge engine that is 1.8L larger than it, only makes 19kw more than it and weighs many magnitudes more.

They've been using this engine forever though, so know a lot about it.

looks good with only one word to describe it - bespoke. no rear tail light photo?

maybe they work with Audi engineers, like the ones at Gumpert.

The only car from where I live. It's still very special, ?'ve never seen one though. By the way I think Audi/VW 4.2 FSI v8 needs a good power increase, from 350 to 380 horsepower or so.

Spyker design language is more jewellery than art; tangible piece of aesthetic beauty. Rear light design should be C8 fare. Jet Li should get his credit card out fast!
