ZEEWOLDE, THE NETHERLANDS, 5 MARCH 2013 - Spyker N.V. ("Spyker") today revealed a new exotic compact, 2-door, mid- engine sports car at a press conference at 13.15 CET in Geneva, Switzerland.

2013 marks the global resurgence of Spyker. The brand's revival is heralded by the introduction of the SPYKER B6 VENATOR CONCEPT, a unique alternative in the High Luxury Sports sector, at the 83rd Geneva International Motor Show. The SPYKER B6 VENATOR CONCEPT is a compact, 2-door mid-engine sports car that will offer the discerning driver of the highest standards a new choice, delivering a rare combination of heritage, design, performance and exclusivity.

Designed by Victor R. Muller, Spyker's founder and Chief Executive Officer, the SPYKER B6 VENATOR CONCEPT makes a contemporary statement whilst paying homage to its past, making it instantly recognizable as a Spyker.
Highly detailed design, bespoke materials and aviation-inspired elements are a core part of the Spyker DNA. The name "Venator" is Latin as well, meaning "Hunter" - a nod back to Spyker's "Hunter" fighter aircraft of the early 20th century.
