Following its world debut earlier this year at the Geneva Motor Show, Spyker has announced the production version of its C8 Aileron will make its North American debut at this month’s New York Auto Show. The C8 Aileron first appeared in concept-guise at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show.
Design-wise, the C8 Aileron is pure Spyker , combining an almost industrial look with sport and class. Up front the C8 Aileron features a wide-mouth grille, flanked by headlights sporting LED driving lights. Two circular vents highlight the side of the car with a ducktail spoiler topping the C8 Aileron’s aggressive rear-end.
Inside Spyker’s unique design style continues, feature rich looking leather and plenty of aluminum trim. Luxury items include a GPS navigation system, Bluetooth connectivity and iPod integration.
Motivation for the C8 Aileron comes via an Audi -sourced 4.2L V8, producing 400 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque. That power is sent to the rear-wheels through either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission, launching the C8 Aileron to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and onto a top speed of 187 mph.
Sales of the Spyker C8 Aileron are expected to kick off this summer, although no pricing has been released.
