New York: Spyker C8 Aileron makes North American debut

Dutch car manufacturer Spyker unveiled its updated version of the C8, the Aileron, last month in Geneva, but the U.S. is getting its first look at the quirky supercar in New York. While the car doesn't look like that much different than its predecessor, Spyker claims to have made some fairly significant changes including an all-new, lengthier space-frame chassis and more interior space. Power is once again sourced from Audi, coming in the form of a naturally aspirated 4.2-liter V8 producing 400 horsepower and 354 lb-ft torque.

Man, that is a stunner! I absolutely love this new design. Any news on the transmission? I see paddle shifters and a distinct lack of a 3rd pedal. The only thing that really lets me down with this design is the engine. A boutique supercar such as this really needs more grunt. If it had the V10TT out of the RS6, then we'd be talking....

I agree. At 4.2 liters it should produce more than 400 bhp. No doubt.

Spyker, a car I don't think I'd ever purchase, yet still marvel at everytime I see one

The contrast between the silver/polished metal and the tropicana interior is amazing.
MTM it?

This car is absolutely incredible, I can't get enough of it especially in this color combo.
