    I'm now confused about the weight of the car. One article I saw had it very light. The other had it about the same as the Evora.

      Time will tell

      If it is an Exige S V6 underneath, you could call it a lightweight (the Exige S weighs 1,175 kg / 2.585 lbs).

          OnTheLam, Victor himself mentioned 'under 3,080 pounds' in the WSJ article.

            Victor talked tonight live via Skype from Geneva with a group of Spyker owners, and released some pictures. Will post them tomorrow, when they are legal

                          The doors open in a conventional way, not like previous Spykers...

                            On some of the photographs of the B6 on the Spyker website there is a slight resemblance with the Toyota 2000GT I think

                              As mentioned by others before:
                              The new B6 is definitly based on the ceased Artega GT.
                              Geometry, proportions, mirrors, diffusor, rear-geometry point already in that direction.

                              But when you look at the interior:
                              - inner door panels are identical including the door-opener
                              - instruments for the cluster instrument including the green color are identical with Artega GT.
                              - Air Outlet under the windscreen is identical
                              - position of the handbrake and opener for the front luggage compartment are in the same position
                              - shape of the whole dashboard is the same

                              So it seems they took the Artega GT, put a new shape and a heavily modified interior on it.
                              But I'm interested in the changes to the engine. The Artega GT had ~300BHP, now they say it has 380. For the narrow VR6-Engine that will be a lot. And for the GT it was already a hard piece of work to get the heat away.
                              Hopefully there will be more details and pics in the next days...

                                How did they access the Artega GT then? I would have figured an Evora variant would be easy and beneficial to both companies.

                                Any word on what's up with the Ailerons? U.S. sales hopefully eventually? Or do we have to wait until late 2014 for the Venator?

                                Not that I have the coin for either!
