 Spyker
The Spyker 4WD was remarkably modern in design with what is thought to be the first six cylinder car engine and four wheel brakes.
The latter operated by means of a brake on the front propeller shaft acting on the front wheels through the front differential, this at a time when other cars only had rear wheel brakes.
Spyker is thought to have made just one four wheel drive and miraculously it still exists, at the Dutch National Automobile museum, and has been restored to running condition.
