    The air-intakes will also change. I have not seen the change, but Victor sketched it for me.
    It'll be good to see the actual photo's of it

      Will there be a "new" C8 Spyder LWB and C8 Laviolette LWB in Geneva?

        If I understood it correctly, there will be 4 cars:

        The new Spyker C8 LWB Laviolette
        The existing Spyker C8 Spyder (SWB)
        The third Spyker SSUV Peking to Paris
        A Spyker GT2 Racecar
        Rijk

          Ok, because in the short movie you see the new LWB Spyder with the automatic soft top, that's why I thought the new LWB Spyder would also be in Geneva.

          And I guess you don't know if the GT2 racecar will be the (old) Spyder or the new Laviolette.

            A good point is brought up here... SWB/LWB makes some sense but the logic is failing. Wheelbase is one word, and, I find it a bit annoying now that I think about it. I'll give this one some thought but you have to admit the "B" needs some meaning before the American press decides they want to make fun of our Dutch friends' English skills!

              I know that Jaguar also used the term LWB for their Long WheelBase models

                The movie is just an animation. The real automatic top does not exist yet (and it will not open as fast as in the movie)

                  I saw that it was an animation But I thought that because there was a "movie' of the Spyder that would be the first LWB model that gets unveiled.

                  But I am also curious about the new Laviolette LWB
