In the 2008 half year results press release the pre-production C8 Aileron was planned to be present at the L.A. Auto Show. But after reading Spykercar’s press release concerning the Los Angeles Auto Show it seems we have to wait a little longer for the unveiling of a (pre-)production C8 Aileron.
Speaking about the Aileron..how are thing going for the Spyder version? In the outlook to 2008 (press release 24 April 2008) the initial planning was to release the Aileron Spyder at Pebble Beach in August 2008. I haven’t heard about it sinds..? Who knows more….

As far as I know the initial production start of the C8 Aileron was planned mid 2008 and the C8 Spyder was planned 3rd quarter 2008, hence the initial launch date of august 2008 for the Spyder at Pebble Beach. The date for the production start was however postponed: C8 Aileron now forwarded to 4th quarter 2008. No new date set for the C8 Aileron Spyder as far as I know but I read somewhere spring 2009.
The Aileron prototype was introduced earlier this year in Geneve, U.S. introduction took place in august at Pebble Beach. The design of the pre-production version was decided on after making a clay model. In august 2008 the final shape of the pre-production Aileron was frozen. After this point no (major) changes could be made to the final design. Rumour has it that the pre-production Aileron will differ quite a lot compared to the prototype Aileron.
The pre-production Aileron will make it's presentation at the L.A. Auto show 19-30 november 2008 (Source:
