A new deal proposed is waiting some resolutions by the Youngman side, the deal basically puts in production the Spyker D8 SUV in an attempt to help spyker on its struggle and also revive Saab.
Spyker was a Dutch coach builder company that lived from the 1880s until 1926 also known for aviating engines (logo related to that part of the company's history).
In 1999 a Dutch company revived the name and started producing sports cars. 290 cars where sold between 2000-2010, the yearly peak was 94 in 2006 .
The current model lineup contains the C8 Aileron and Aileron Spyder. But although producing some sexy, quick, extravagant cars ( yes, i want one ! Do you? A car costs around $210,000 at base price)

Spyker is having tough times, it owns saab after this brand folded and was left without a powertrain supplier ( we might as well add no money to the list). At the moment the company is looking desperartely for a chance to revive Saab whilst saving itself, this deal may be their chance.
The complicated deal, if achieved will basically ( in very VERY rough terms) have Youngman putting the money and Spyker the tech and cars, the D8 will show up for sale at the end of 2014 and Youngman will give the Saab Phoenix platform (sold to them by saab in separate deal) for production (apparently, WE HOPE)

The phoenix concept first appeared at Geneva in 2011, it is an AWD gasoline-electric hybrid and looks sexy as hell.
The deal is a juicy and complicated one, we hope this will work out as both the Phoeniz and D8 look promising.
