With Saab now in the Spyker portfolio, the benefits for the Dutch supercar company in having acquired Saab are slowly emerging. One such benefit is access to new markets and dealership networks. Whether in light of this or not, Spyker is in fact planning on developing a China-specific GT2 road version, although with a launch date of October this year mentioned, that would make development pretty much complete.

According to China Car Times, Spyker is also planning to build a larger four-door model, and a possible Saab 9-5 five-door model could also be part of the Spyker-Saab China plan. Cleverly, Spyker is planning that its models will be specifically designed for the new market and it hopes that China will become its second biggest market outside of the US.

We have seen a number of luxury car manufacturers make special edition models for China and here is just another reason for us all to be envious of the new millionaire money in China that is creating supercar dreams for the rest of us. Meanwhile, I’m hoping that this new push of Spyker in China will see some benefits for Saab, too.
