Bericht
Zeewolde, 16 May 2007 - Spyker Cars N.V., Formula One constructor and manufacturer of exclusive premium sports cars, announces the appointment of Michiel Mol (37) as interim CEO of the company, succeeding Victor Muller (47) who will focus on design and brand development, effective May 21, 2007.
