Spyker C12 La Turbie

The Spyker C12 La Turbie is a sports car produced by Dutch automaker Spyker Cars in 2005 and shown at the Geneva Motor Show. The company initially showed a silver C12 Spyder in December 2004, a project to install the W12 on a long-wheelbase C8 Double 12S chassis with a standard design. But already in the spring of 2005 they presented this model with its distinctive design La Turbie. The name refers to the Spyker C4's victory in the 1922 Mont de la Turbie hill climb race near Monte Carlo.

Overview
The Spyker C12 LaTurbie was the first Spyker to run the 6.0 litre VW Group W12 dry sump aluminum engine, giving a power output of and a torque of . Top speed is claimed to be 325 km/h (202 mph) with acceleration from 0–100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 3.9 seconds. A manual six-speed gearbox was planned to be fitted with "an F1 style paddle shift under development". The car has two luggage compartments, with a leather Louis Vuitton luggage set available to order, specially designed to fit. Inside, gauges are designed by Swiss watchmaker Chronoswiss, which also produces limited-edition Spyker branded wristwatches. The original grey body colour was replaced with blue by 2006, and it appeared in the new colour in the 2007 film War (Filming date: spring 2006). This is Spyker's third long wheelbase car, along with the C8 Double12 S and the C8 Double12 Spyder, which have V8 engines rather than W12s. The Double12's chassis was widened by 100mm to accommodate the W12 engine. ==Specification==
