No idea. Rijk removed the top completely. He says the rear visibility stinks with the top up.

I swear I could not see it. And yes, it was tight in there...

Not saying anything about the driving experience, and I don't suppose I'll ever get the chance with only a couple hundred of them!

I find it beautiful. Like Chris says, it's subjective. But anyways, they still produce them, so there will be more in the future.

If you read the Spyker website (Welcome to the website of Spyker Cars | Spykercars), they claim that form follows function and that no part of the car compromises function for form.


When you look at it like that, it helps you appreciate it more
