All you automobile freaks might remember the Saab 92 which was a full-scale production car in 1949 — something way ahead of its time in terms of aero dynamism and drag co-efficient. Well folks, Saab, the brand owned by Spyker now, have thought of reviving the model as the Saab 9-2 and has ever since sought partners to share technology on a small-car platform upon which the new 9-2 model will be based. Although Spyker did not let out details about this probable partner, it was told that the new 9-2 will retain the original tear-drop shape and as a super-cool sub-compact offering, it will compete against the likes of the MINI. The 9-2 will hopefully start rolling off the production facility by 2013.

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]
