Behold: the 2008 Spyker C8 Laviolette coupe – a hand-built, mid-engine supercar powered by a 4.2-litre Audi V8. 300 of these were made between 2000 and 2008, with just 58 of these variants named after Belgian engineer Joseph Valentin Laviolette, who helped develop Spyker racecars in the early 1900s.

The aircraft gun port style air intakes, toggle switches and aluminium panelling are a nod to the Dutch company’s previous incarnation as a plane manufacturer.

This vehicle, in mint condition with a diamond-quilted black leather interior, Burnt Orange exterior and less than 800km on the clock comes up for auction next month with opening bids expected between €260,000 and €340,000.
