Looks like they finally learned to put a proper steeringwheel in their cars.

What was the problem with the old steering wheel?

Great video!

Loved driving the Aileron but the swb C8's are still much more fun to drive. Lotus on roids.

I love the look of this car, and I actually really liked that old steering helm it had. I just think that it really should be a bit faster, and definitely a 6speed.

I like both the new and the original steering wheels, but the first generation wheel that came on the US cars was rubbish. I'm also in love with the looks and I think it looks much sleeker and sexier than the original C8. The angular headlights and wider front grille make this car. The engine note is one of my favorite sounding engines ever built, easily in the top 5, maybe even the top 3 I've heard on a street car.

It's not the fastest car in the world and I agree with him that it ought to be faster for the money but it drives great and it's still plenty of fun. Driving a Spyker is certainly an experience you won't forget. That being said, I'd rather have an F430 for the money.

Great review of a great car! You may say that you would prefer something for the price but I would get this over an F430 (Even though this car isn't in my Top 20 Favourite Car List!!) With it being very rare I think it may gain value in years to come (Correct me if you don't think so)Every time you drive it, it would feel like an event and seems to be special. Sure lots of cars drive better but the detailing in the interior and exterior has just won me over. Thanks for sharing
