The stunning Spyker B6 Venator Spyder concept car was recently unveiled at the Salon Privé in London and elicited an extremely positive response, which was to be expected. Since this brand has a rich history in the aviation industry as well as the automotive one, it pulls cues from vintage aircraft and automobiles. The name of the car itself, "Venator," alludes to the Latin word for "Hunter" and the Spyker aircraft of the same name.
Along this theme, this two-door luxury sports car includes the Latin phrase "For the tenacious no road is impassable,” boldly displayed on its burgundy exterior. Production of the Spyker B6 Venator Spyder will begin in late 2014 and will be available to the US market by 2015.
