And what is it doing at a Californian dealership? Could be for show or....?

As far as I know, it's dead, and it won't go into production.

+1 So it must be for a show.

It's not put in the freezer for a year or so?

I wonder if one could step up to Zagato and get them to make one. Was the conept 'ready' for production?

What was the reason for its demise???

The financial problems - too many models/development costs

The financial problems - too many models/development costs

Yeah...I suppose for such a small company they do seem to have a lot of models listed on their site which, other than the Peking-Paris, are all the 'same' (i.e. 2 seater sports) albeit with different engine specs etc. Still a pity though that its not going to be made

How come spykercars.nl lists the Zagato as one of its models, but doesn't list the C8 Double12...?

C8 Double 12 is now renamed to the C8 Laviolette LWB

That's interesting because when I looked om www.spykercars-cars.co.uk last week it was still called the Double 12; but now the only model that comes up is the C8

Ah, I see, thank you. Any explanation for what Kevin said...?

A Dutch carmagazine (AutoWeek) reports today that Spyker will build the C12 Zagato. But we have to wait until 2010. The price will be 500.000 euro (excluding taxes). But there won't be a 12 cilinder in the car. So there it is likely that the name will be C8 Zagato.

Are there any news about C12 Zagato?

[AX lover]

I read that Spyker is thinking of building the Zagato on the new chassis they developed for the C8 Aileron. I don't know which engine they will use. But maybe they will use the Audi 4.2 V8 and a supercharger?
