Eagle Spyder GT Officially Announced

After the Eagle Speedster, a car most famous for making Jeremy Clarkson swoon on television, and the Eagle Low Drag GT, the British boutique car maker is now announcing the launch of a third model, the Eagle Spyder GT.

Now, at first glance this new Eagle Spyder GT seems to be pretty much identical to the Speedster. But there are major differences between the two that makes the GT a lot more usable and enables the owner to enjoy the exquisite car more. Boasting the running gear from the Low Drag, the Spyder GT comes with a raked windscreen and folding roof. These simple changes make a big difference on how and when you can use the car.

Just like the other two Eagle production, the Spyder GT is based somewhat loosely on the original 1961 design and features an all-aluminum construction. The car maker has taken liberties with the original design, however, honing every line to perfection in their own words. Each Eagle car is bespoke and personalized by the owner and they only build a few. That explains why prices starts from half a million British pound.

Paul Brace, Design Director at Eagle comments: “Development of the Spyder GT began soon after the launch of the Speedster in 2011 and, like everything we produce, we wanted to ensure that we got as close to perfection as humanly possible. We’re renowned for being perfectionists and our clients are too – so we took the time to develop and deliver an E-Type that stands proud alongside the Speedster and the Low Drag GT.”
