  • C8 Laviolette - Basic Instinct 2 Model

    Spyker produces a unique limited edition series of the C8 Laviolette - Basic Instinct 2 Model

    Zeewolde, 24 April 2006 - A year after Spyker first announced that the Spyker C8 Laviolette had been chosen for a pivotal role in Basic Instinct 2, driven by the film’s protagonist Catherine Trammell (Sharon Stone), it is now announcing that it will produce a unique Limited Edition series of the C8 Laviolette as used for this movie. The cars have the identical features of the original movie car (chassis number 015). Only 25 cars will be made of which 20 have already been pre-sold. It is the first time ever that Spyker will produce a limited edition of any of its models.

    Coincidently the Spyker C8 Laviolette features the cover of the May 2006 issue of the luxury lifestyle magazine Robb Report in a picture of unprecedented level. The seven page article features further impressive images. All photography is by Jerry Wyszatycki and Tricia Krefetz.

    The Spyker C8 Laviolette has been fully US certified since June 2005.




    THE CAR

    The Spyker C8 Laviolette is an elegant two-seat coupe sports car with an aluminium construction and glass canopy reminiscent of a modern jet fighter. It has an all aluminium Audi V8 engine with a power of 400 hp, a top speed of 300 km/h (187 mph) and an acceleration of 0-100 km/h in 4.5 seconds (0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds).

    The car used for Basic Instinct 2 has a jet black exterior, a lipstick red interior, a turned aluminium dashboard fascia and is fitted with elegant 19”Aeroblade™ wheels in magnesium featuring five propellers. The price for the Limited Edition version is 254.950 euro (318,690 USD) excluding any taxes and ex factory.

    The car is available in both left and right hand drive form. Like all Spykers, the Spyker C8 Laviolette is completely hand-built and custom-built by only the best craftsmen of our time using bespoke materials. This spectacular performance car combines state of the art technology, unique design features and engineering excellence.

          Hi Wouter,

          Notice the differences on this car to the original.

          Louvres behind the front wheel and front wing.
          As well as the chrome underneath the sill.

          I don´t see that many Laviolette´s in the 001 - 100 chassisnumber list?? Reason?

          A special list as AX opted would be a nice idea.

            Yes a special list would be nice. Unfortunately its impossible to read a vin on these pictures. It would be nice if carspotters start recording vin numbers

              Don't think that doesn't mean anything. The car pictured from the side is just one of the early cars (pre-Karmann, no wide body). And not long after that Spyker started production at Karmann (summer 2005). The cars used in the movie were 'old' cars (pre-Karmann) but since this pressrelease is from 2006 and production at Karmann started in 2005 I guess that most of the 25 Basic Instinct 2 models will have the extra louvres. And there are also some differences in the sidemarkers and sideindicatorlights.

                          I guess not. Why? Because forummember Gillseeker (Spyker of Georgia) is waiting to receive one of the Basic Instinct Laviolette's. And it has VIN #167 so it is quite recent.

                          Read more about this car:

                          http://www.spykerowner.com/forum/spy...ii-spyker.html

                          I remember that Spyker a few years ago said that all 25 cars were sold. But I guess some customers cancelled their order. Because there was also a Basic Instinct Laviolette for sale at a dealer for a long time.

                              The Basic Instinct 2 Laviolette with Saudi Arabian plates has been spotted again in Paris, one of two French cities it often frequents.
                              These nice shots were taken by 'OLB', or Obi-Wan-Kenobi, or Olb1Knoby, a frequent poster on www.supercarfrance.com. Thanks OLB!

                              The complete photo serie can be found on www.Caradisiac.com
