About the C8 Preliator 4.2 V8 525

The 2016 Spyker C8 Preliator 4.2 V8 525 is a rear-drive turbocharged coupe of 1,390 kg with 518 bhp, which works out at 372 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 372 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.78 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 472nd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest five per cent, and the quickest of the 4 Spykers here. Its 125.5 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 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Spyker C8 Preliator 4.2 V8 525 0-60 time?
The Spyker C8 Preliator 4.2 V8 525 reaches 60 mph in 3.30 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 472nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Spyker C8 Preliator 4.2 V8 525 quarter mile time?
11.43 s at 125.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.41 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.78 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Spyker C8 Preliator 4.2 V8 525 have?
518 bhp and 1,390 kg, which is 372 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 322 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Spyker C8 Preliator 4.2 V8 525?
Closest here on pace: Aston Martin Vantage AMR V12 6.0 V12 603 (3.29 s), Aston Martin DB11 AMR 5.2 V12 630 (3.28 s), Aston Martin Vantage F1 Edition (3.31 s). Each one can be raced against the Spyker C8 Preliator 4.2 V8 525 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
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 Preliator 4.2 V8 525 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
