The 2009 Spyker C8 Laviolette LM85 is considered the road version of the GT2 LeMans car.

It is characterized by a lightweight, all-aluminum body construction and an uncompromising engineering package. The use of aluminum parts and other lightweight materials results in an impressive power-to-weight ratio, underlying the GT2 racing heritage. With a curb weight of only 2,800 lbs., the C8 handles like a true track vehicle.

The exterior and interior are familiar though upgraded with even greater use of weight-saving materials than before. The little details that set the C8 Laviolette LM85 apart are its black powder-coated alloy wheels and the option of left- or right-hand drive.

The powertrain of the LM85 is the all-aluminum Audi 4.2-liter V8 engine, producing 400 bhp. This is paired to a manual six-speed Getrag gearbox, driving the rear wheels with a Drexler limited slip differential. ABS is standard.

The 2009 Spyker C8 Laviolette had an extremely limited production run of only 24 units, priced at $209,990. All 24 LM85 owners were special guests at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June 2009.
