Press Release
World Debut for the production version of the Spyker C8 Aileron at
the Salon International de l'Automobile in Geneva

Zeewolde, the Netherlands, 3 March 2009 - Spyker Cars, manufacturer
of exclusive premium sports cars since 2000, today proudly introduces
the production version of its all-new second-generation sports car:
the Spyker C8 Aileron, the prototype of which was shown at Geneva in
2008.

Victor R. Muller, Spyker Cars' founder and Chief Executive Officer
said on the occasion of the unveiling: "When we unveiled the C8
Aileron prototype here last year, we wanted to make a clear statement
to the industry that Spyker was about to take the next step in its
short but intense history, by introducing its second-generation
sports cars, developed from scratch. Within a year we transformed
that prototype into the production-ready car we show here today. The
first cars are being built now with customer production and
deliveries starting in May 2009.

The C8 Aileron's design is heavily inspired by Spyker's aviation
heritage, as was the case with all previous models, but with a clear
emphasis on the second-generation aircraft propulsion: the turbine
rather than the propeller that adorned so many elements of the
first-generation cars. Similarly the "Aileron" name pays tribute to
that aviation heritage. It is the device that makes an aircraft turn
and symbolizes the turning point that the Aileron is for Spyker: the
car which will turn the company towards long-awaited profitability."

 

If only money grew on trees...

 

Oh lawdy! That is stunning! Definitely the best looking Spyker yet!
