Already known as a player in the exotic cars niche, the Dutch folks from Spyker debuted their latest supercar at this years Auto Show in Geneva. Already known to the public from last year’s salon, the new Spyker C8 Aileron is a unique and quirky concept with an exquisite body work that includes LED turn indicators, stylish scissor doors, a small rooftop air inlet and round air intakes in the flanks that make you wonder what they are. Powered by a 400hp Audi 4.2 liter V8 engine mated to a six-speed manual or automatic transmission, the aircraft inspired supercar reaches a top speed of 300 km/h and goes 0 to 100 km/h in only 4.5 seconds. If it’s one thing we hate about the 2009 C8 Aileron, it’s the orange interior with those shiny metal accents. First deliveries are expected begin in May. [via Autoblog]

Spyker, a Dutch ca manufacturer that started producing cars back in 1880, managed to surprise a few at the Auto Show in Geneva this week, unveiling their latest model, C8 Aileron inspired from the older model, C8 Spyder. It uses Audi’s 4.2L V8 engine that has 400 little horses inside and for the first time is going to be offered with both a manual 6-speed Getrag gearbox and an automatic 6-speed ZF transmission, which they think will make it more appealing to a potential customer.

Spyker C8 Aileron was built with an aluminum space frame, includes some new vents and scoops, the wheelbase increased 10cm for better handling, torsional rigidity improved by 40% without adding weight, and the car has a virtually square design thanks to a widened front track.
