Spyker sold to U.S. private equity firm North Street Capital
A new life for the cash strapped super car maker

According to reports floating around the web this afternoon, Connecticut-based private equity firm North Street Capital is now the new owner of Spyker. Swedish Automobile had been negotiating to sell Spyker to a group funded by the Russian investor Vladimir Antonov, but those fell apart. The terms of the deal haven't been released by either Saab or North Street Capital but we'll update this as soon as we can.

Very interesting. Thanks for the news brother.

 

I always liked Spyker. They were never the fastest or best built car you could get for the money but without a doubt they had the most presence. One of the best sounding engines of all time as well.

I'd love to see the company stay alive.

 

I love Spyker, I hope they last. I've driven a few and really enjoyed them. Not the fastest, but one of the most enjoyable.

Anyways, I'm interested to see what comes of this.

 

Spyker has F1 no how right? US team possibly?

 

really hope spyker finds a good buyer, i love their cars, they are pretty special

 

Nailed it. Totally agree 100%
