Spyker E12

Spyker Cars shareholder and CEO, Victor Muller hinted at a Maserati Quattroporte, Aston Martin Rapide, and Bentley Flying Spur rival with an eight-cylinder (the E8) or a twelve-cylinder (the E12) engine, but due to problems getting the D8 into production, the idea was ignored until recently^[when?] when Muller has said he "believes now could be the time to resurrect the saloon."^[1] Muller believes it will take about four years from time E8/E12 is revealed to the time it starts production.^[1] In March 2011, Muller stated that the production version of the Spyker E8/E12 would use a twelve-cylinder instead of the proposed eight-cylinder engine.^[2]
