With plans to branch out into the Chinese market, Spyker has decided to produce a road going version of it’s GT2 racing car. The exotic car manufacturer hopes that apart from the U.S, China will become one of it’s largest markets.

Although based on the racer, the car will not be quite as hardened. Both wider and longer for added comfort, it will boast some interior refinements to make it easier for road use. With a launch date set for October this year Spyker must be close to completion.

According to China Car Times Spyker also have plans for a four-door model to tempt the Chinese customers. It’s due to be unveiled at some point in 2013, and should go head to head with the likes of Jaguar’s XF, Porsche’s Panamera and VW’s Passat CC. Watch this space for more news on Spykers plans for growth. What with the purchase of Saab that we recently reported on, are we going to see more and more from this Dutch auto manufacturer.

You may remember back at the start of the year we reported on a planned buy out of Saab by the Dutch supercar manufacturer Spyker. Well with the deal done and the total split over two installments, Spyker decided to settle up in full, paying General Motors $24 million before the final payment due date of July 15.

Spyker says in its press release that: “The early payment of the second and last installment underlines our desire to finalize the transaction with GM as soon as it was possible, enabling management to fully focus on the future of the group and the realization of Saab’s business plan”.

Having now secured their purchase, Spyker can move on with its idea’s to resurrect Saab, which up until now seem to have been far from the spotlight. With the plan to build up Saab’s dealer network over in the US, the chances are that Spyker’s C8 Aileron will sell out of the same outlets as Saab’s models.

Do you think this will see an increase in new more exciting models from Saab ? Give us your opinion and check out the link for Spyker’s full press release.
