    1 advice, donīt forget to close the door before you fasten the seatbelts. This year I had the chance to drive a Challenge Stradale and this was something I forgot to do. You are nailed to the seat so itīs impossible to bend over and close the door

    But looks great, this is how itīs meant to be!

      Pterps,

      I had the same thought. In the Elise I had precisely the same problem. However, to my surprise, you can reach everything in the Spyker and then it dawned on me. The Interior is designed for use with four point seat belts. Everything is in perfect reach, and still nothing feels cramped.

        Not entirely true. I bet you can't reach the key

          Hans,

          You are right. That is the only thing you need to think about in advance.

            Is the starting procedure still the same? First pull the switch and last but not least push the button?

                There is a traditional Audi key hidden in the glove compartment. Because there is no visible plastic in the interior, and especially with something as banal as a standard key, they had to find another solution.

                I wonder if you can operate that with the key fob. I guess I need to read the manual after all.

                    I thought the upholstered Lotus steeringwheel did not contain an airbag.
                    It was chosen because the propellor steeringwheel did not meet safetyregulations in combination with the three point seatbelts.

                          Actually, I only have one suitcase and only one key-fob (Remember, it's not new, it's the US press car, so some parts have mysteriously gone missing). Once I have the missing pieces, the car is complete.

                            That is outstanding! I have the wheel on the way but since I decided not to track this one I opted out for the four point. I caution every Spyker owner to sit in a car with the four point before you do it. It is a safer ride but it does come at a cost.

                            I LOVE how that looks guys. great work.

                              Don't forget the Louis Vuitton package!

                                The Louis Vuitton luggage is a $25K option. I settle for the standard set of two color coded suitcases.
