Spyker at Salon Prive 2013 with B6 Venator & C8 Aileron – and maybe the Venator Spyder

The Spyker B6 Venator (pictured) will be at Salon Prive this year Victor Muller rolled out his new plans for Spyker ahead of the Geneva Motor Show this year with the arrival of the very convincing Spyker B6 Venator and typically grandiose plans to build and sell so many Spyker would be back on top.

What a result.
