Spyker C8 Laviolette

The Spyker C8 Laviolette reaches 60 mph in 4.53 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.04 s, tripping the lights at 110.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.15 s and the eighth mile in 8.51 s, reaching 100 mph in 10.92 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the C8 Laviolette

The 2003 Spyker C8 Laviolette is a rear-drive naturally aspirated supercar of 1,270 kg with 400 bhp, which works out at 315 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 315 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.15 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,123rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 2nd quickest of the 2 Spykers here. Its 110.5 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 8 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Spyker C8 Laviolette is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 8 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
