\u201cNone of the ambitions we had when we founded Spyker 15 years ago have vanished as a result of today\u2019s events. In 2000 we set out to establish a super sports car business from scratch with a global distribution and we achieved that. Over the years we undertook some daring ventures that left their marks on the company which in turn contributed to today\u2019s demise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, I would like to make clear that as far as I am concerned &#8216;this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning&#8217;, to quote Winston Churchill. I will relentlessly endeavour to resurrect Spyker as soon as practically possible and, assuming we will be successful, pursue our goal to merge with a high performance electric aircraft manufacturer and develop revolutionary electric Spykers with disruptive sustainable technology,\u201d Muller said.<\/p>\n<p>Spyker has been appointed with an administrator to work through the bankruptcy proceedings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Automaker Spyker has been officially declared bankrupt following numerous difficult months for the Dutch brand.
