The Spyker C12 Zagato was unveiled on March 6, 2007 at the Salon International de l’Auto in Geneva. The Milanese design house Zagato co-designed the model.

Though the exterior styling is somewhat of a departure from the C8, retained features include: scissor doors, interior styling, and general aviation theme. The C12 Zagato is powered by a 6.0 L W12 engine sourced from VW Group (the same engine as featured in the Audi A8 and Volkswagen Phaeton).
