The pre-production Aileron will make it's presentation at the L.A. Auto show 19-30 november 2008 (Source: http://spykercars.nl/download/artike..._Show_2008.pdf ).

Thanks for your quick reaction LavioletteGT2R.
So if I understand you correctly you do think that the final shap Aileron will be present in L.A. (pre-production = final shape)....i'm a bit confused...

Yes, the final shape of the Aileron was frozen in august. During our factory visit in august we where told to expect some major changes on the rear side of the car. I’m very curious how this final design will look.

The L.A. Motor Show press release mentions the U.S introduction of the LM85 as the major news and says the following about the Aileron; “The Spyker C8 Aileron preproduction car and a Spyker C8 Spyder will be displayed.”

It would be a pleasant surprise to me when the “final shape” Aileron makes it's presentation at the L.A. Auto show. But after reading the press release I expect to see the same C8 Aileron as introduced in Geneva this year..

Prototype, concept, pre-production, production, final shape,….et cetera…things get complicated…
