As promised on February 19th, Spyker Cars unveiled a striking new concept at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The B6 Venator, described by the automaker as a “unique alternative in the High Luxury Sports sector,” proudly sits alongside the
Spyker C8 Aileron, which made its debut in Geneva four years ago.
This two-door coupe boasts an all-aluminum chassis and 375-horsepower V6 engine wrapped in an all-carbon fibre body. Moreover, the dashboard is shown with a turned aluminium fascia, similar to those seen on Spykers of the 1920s.
Both inside and out, aviation-inspired design cues can be found, such as the three-dimensional LED taillights that are akin to the iris-type afterburners of a jet engine from a modern fighter aircraft. Let's not forget the 19” Turbofan alloy wheels.
Production of the hand-built Spyker B6 Venator will begin in early 2014 for key markets including Europe, the Middle East, Asia Pacific and India, followed by the U.S. in the fall of 2014. Pricing will start anywhere between $125,000 and $150,000.
Canadian availability remains unknown.

"Got drug tested early hours this morning," added Australian Daniel Ricciardo.
"All of a sudden p*ssing in your own home becomes difficult with someone staring over your shoulder," he said on
Twitter.
The WADA standard includes drug testing at grands prix, but also 'out of competition'.

“A new rear wing and front spoiler give the i20 WRC a new external appearance while, under the bodywork, improvements have also been made to the suspension kinematics and chassis stiffness as we gear up for a more structured test programme later in the year,” Nandan added.

The latest Porsche 911 GT3 exploits a 475-horsepower, 3.8L flat-six engine that's based on the 911 Carrera S' unit, but shares only a few common parts. Using a dual-clutch PDK transmission, the car sprints from 0-100 km/h in 3.5 seconds, and 0-200 km/h in less than 12 seconds.
Additionally, Porsche is introducing active rear-wheel steering. Depending on the speed, the system steers in the opposite or the same direction as the front wheels, thereby improving agility and stability.
Scheduled to arrive in Canada at the end of this year, the all-new Porsche 911 GT3 will retail from $148,800.
