The General Motors group in the US has agreed that small Dutch sports car manufacturer Spyker will get its Saab brand.
GM will receive 52.5 million euros from Spyker and will remain a shareholder in Saab.
The Dutch company had been interested in Saab for some time, but was forced to endure many false starts in the buying process when deals with GM continued to fall through.
Saab has applied for a 400-million-euro loan from the European Investment Bank which the Swedish government has agreed to guarantee.
The takeover deal will now depend on the loan going through and the sale being approved by the European Commission.
The racing and aviation heritage of the early cars has been carried over to the contemporary Spykers, their design being heavily influenced by airplanes and aerodynamics. Their uncompromising engineering developed for racing. Hand-crafted in the same tradition as the earlier Spykers by the best craftsmen of our time using bespoke materials only. Built with passion for the most passionate drivers, for those discerning connoisseurs who do not just buy a car but have one built for them, to their exacting specifications. Benefiting from experience gained in the international race arena by entering basically standard Spykers in GT class events such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the ultimate endurance race challenge.
Spykers are the ultimate statement of individuality: a creation of timeless beauty in the form of a state of the art technology package with spectacular performance. Every Spyker is as much an individual as its discerning buyer. Identified by its chassis number and given its personality by the individual specifications of its owner which are perpetuated on the car's build sheet, it is updated whenever any work is done to it and available to owners on a personalized web page.
Every owner may follow the assembly process of his or her Spyker day and night by means of a dedicated web cam-system - The Spycam™ - in the factory, an absolute first in the motorcar industry.
We sincerely hope that you will enjoy the result of years and years of development and engineering and the lasting personal attention that we give to our cars and their proud owners.
