The wheelbase being increased with 10 cm, they should be able to squeeze a big fat engine in there I'm very curious as to what the (front) suspension looks like since they nog placed the shocks vertically. The SWB's are to disappear right? That would emply that the next racer (if they continue racing that is) will be based upon the Aileron. Which would be niiiiiice

D8? What did I miss (or forget)?

The SSUV looks good and I expect to see alot of white ones. The wheels look like the Zagato ones (the the C8 too btw). I prefer the old wheels

Spyker was looking for a new engine - maybe US sourced - for their Peking to Paris. Looks like they have found something since they changed the name from D12 to D8.

In the press release it says: "The Aeroblade ™ (5 propeller) wheels of the first generation cars are – logically – replaced by a 10 blade rotor wheel called ‘Rotorblade’ ™. They come in 19” all round and are made in left and right hand turning versions." I am not sure how to count the spokes? The Aileron seems to have 2x6, the C8 Spyder 2x5... Is that a mistake or did Spyker change wheels in the last moment?
