Spyker originally planned to produce 25 LaTurbies, however, in October 2007 it was announced that Spyker had cancelled production of all C12 models, including the C12 LaTurbie and its sister model the C12 Zagato, before any cars were produced, in order to focus their resources on other models.

[1] The Spyker C12 LaTurbie was the first Spyker to run the 6.0 litre VW Group W12 dry sump aluminum engine, giving a power output of 500 bhp (373 kW) and a torque of 600 N⋅m (443 lbf⋅ft).

A manual six-speed gearbox will be fitted with "an F1 style paddle shift under development".

Inside, gauges are designed by Swiss watchmaker Chronoswiss, which also produces limited-edition Spyker branded wristwatches.

This is Spyker's third long wheelbase car, along with the C8 Double12 S and the C8 Double12 Spyder, which have V8 engines rather than W12s.
