We've made no bones about the fact that we genuinely like Spyker Cars re-founder Victor Muller. He's a friendly, humble guy who comes across as a no-shitter in a sea of egotists and pipe-dreamers, even if he himself is a dreamer. But he's a dreamer in the best possible way. He got the company off the ground and before he announced that he's stepping down as CEO on May 21st to focus on design and branding, he managed to spearhead a number of projects, getting a pack of attention-grabbing exotics off the ground on the back of a brand nobody'd thought of in years, had cars run at events like Le Mans and Sebring, and last year, acquired a Formula 1 team. Not bad for a seven-year run. What's more the company's even turning a profit. We're not sure what the internal goings-on are at Spyker so we have no real comment to offer, other than that we wish Victor the best in his new endeavor. Spyker F1 head Michiel Mol will hold the CEO spot in the interim while the search for a new CEO takes place. Press release after the jump. More »

Spyker ended speculation on where the company would get engines for its F1 team this past weekend, when it announced it had inked what's essentially a one-year deal with Scuderia Ferrari. But Ferrari team boss Jean Todt wants you to know the deal is only for F1 engines, not street powerplants for Spyker's Dutch-built supercars, which are powered by Audi/VW hardware. The deal was struck by way of the two companies' common shareholder, Abu Dhabi's Mubadala Development Company, which owns 17 percent of Spyker and five percent of Ferrari. Ferrari also supplies engines for team Red Bull. For what that's worth. – Mike Spinelli More »
