Spyker Cars- to foray into the Indian roads

Spyker- the renowned Dutch car manufacturer is reportedly all set to enter the Indian auto market. Spyker will import its cars in India. It has also shortlisted two potential partners that will sell its cars in Delhi and Mumbai to begin with. Additionally, the car manufacturer intends to launch the Spyker product in 2011 that will be a completely built unit imported from Netherlands.


Speaking about the purported launch, Spyker cars officially stated, “Spyker is always looking for the right partners in viable markets for the brand and we are discussing with a number of potential partners in many new markets, India included. Spyker has shortlisted the potential partners and we will announce the new retail partner when the arrangements are finalized. It is our intention to launch the Spyker product in 2011.”

Besides, some reports suggest that Spyker cars are in talks with potential dealers in Mumbai and New Delhi. On being questioned about the price, Spykar did not make any statements but said that going by the cost of their cars in London, the C8 Spyder Aileron will cost an estimated Rs 3.5 crores. Despite the costs, Spyker Cars have a Desi connection since one team, Force India, was originally owned by Spyker Cars.

On the global arena Spyker sells iconic models like the C8 series, the one driven by Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct. The other models include LM85, C12 Zagato and D8 Peking-to-Paris.
