Another Spyker crashed

It must have happened a while ago, but in China they also managed to crash a C8 Spyder.

Maybe the car we saw in the factory?

Did you guys notice that this car has Brembo brakepads and AP Racing brakecalipers?

Because the crashed C8 has the old style headlights it’s doubtful that it’s #164..

the sidemarkers on the crashed car are square and the #164 is a Karmann car with oval sidemarkers.

Did you guys get told anything about #164 in the factory, that you know it was in for repairs?
I'm not sure actually, whether the first pics I shared are from one and the same car? The close-up on the emblem shows a blue colour, while the others show a black colour?

Found pics of yet another crashed C8 Spyder, this time a purple-coloured one.

traction control needed?

... seeing all this, I suspect the Spyker would benefit having a traction control system. The car is not easy to control in wet conditons, or at high speeds.

... another scary thing are the aluminium wheels. However nice the propeller design may be, they seem to break off at first touch! Hmmm...

Well, the "bungee driving" is good for my adrenalin level and, finally, that's why I have such a car!
