This Spyker (#096) has been fitted with a PES Supercharger by Bartuning Inc

Thanks, IVR -- I'll ask around, see if I can figure out who did the work.

OnTheLam, this photo shows the engine of the supercharged spyder.

I'm feeling better already Thanks for putting it in perspective!

The commenters mischaracterize most of what Clarkson said about the car.

BknBlk, you may take comfort in the fact that, while you will drive your Spyker whenever you like, the commenters on the thread will be able to cuddle up to a catfish whenever they like -- but they won't own a Spyker! :lol:

Blame Jeremy Clarkson He brought it up in a TG episode

I may not be able to translate from that post, but #152 and I DEEPLY resent the catfish photo above the C8 Photo

Do we know who did the supercharger? Was it done in the US?

[SpykerOwner]

It was filmed @ Coffee and Cars in Houston

In the US? or Europe? It looks like the US, but I was unaware of this supercharged Spyker here. Is it an MTM supercharger? It's definitely not the VF Engineering supercharger.

According to the pictures I can find on flickr.com about the event, it was held on 6/7 January 2012.

Some key sentences: He wonders whether the Spyker is a real supercar... crispy braking (easy to dose) and precise steering with a beautiful sound. Talks about the LM85 version. Interior is like a pimped Messerschmitt plane and created with a heavy LSD trip, fantastic! It's a car that requires effort as if you're flying a WWII fighter plane. Lovely oversteer. A critical note: vibrations are sensible when you steer abruptly. Shifting gears requires a precise hand. Is it a supercar? If you want a car that's fast and easy on your wallet you pick the audi R8, but if you want a car that that's different, eccentric and yet very fun to drive as well as fast: here you go, the Spyker.
