Spyker Cars shareholder and CEO, Victor Muller hinted at a Maserati Quattroporte, Aston Martin Rapide, and Bentley Flying Spur rival with an eight-cylinder (the E8) or a twelve-cylinder (the E12) engine, but due to problems getting the D8 into production, the idea was ignored until recently[ when? ] when Muller has said he "believes now could be the time to resurrect the saloon." [1] Muller believes it will take about four years from time E8/E12 is revealed to the time it starts production. [1] In March 2011, Muller stated that the production version of the Spyker E8/E12 would use a twelve-cylinder instead of the proposed eight-cylinder engine. [2]
