The Spyker Aileron is back again for a few days in the Netherlands. Today I had the opportunity to observe and drive
 this great new Spyker. aileron250-1.jpg What a great car. My C8 Spyder does all hearts beat faster, but this Aileron lets almost explode you heart. I always thought my C8 is a "She" but this Aileron is definitely a "He". Especially the front is very impressive. When he is driving towards you there is something that tells you: I have to step back. He is serious big! Great design inside and out. Handling and comfort are much better and will become even better as the last little details are ready. Definitely an addition to the range of Spkyer. In my opinion not to replacement of the "back to basic, pure" C8 but an extension for the people that want more comfort and convenience. Inside the factory was also the red Aileron #252 and people where working hard on an orange Aileron. In the opinion of Victor Muller, Spyker expects a lot of the new Aileron. After today I share his view. I can think of no reason why people in this price range do not buy a Spyker. This car has everything.  aileron250-2.jpg I feel very honored that Spyker, Peter van Rooy, has given me the opportunity today to drive this beautiful new car. Through this forum, I once again thank Peter for this great offer.

Nice Dutchdude!
 How was it to drive this car in comparison to your own C8? And how does the gearbox and off course it's extra length feel? Does it have enough power in your opinion, I mean more than the normal 400 bhp in the 'old' C8 always sounded crazy to me, but how is that for this car? In case you didn't noticed it I want to hear more about this car

aileron-3.jpg I think it has power enough. I don't no for sure if this car is quicker or slower than my car because I try to treat him gently .I heard some people say that the sound was not so good but i think it is't so bad. I liked it. The gearbox and power brake did work well. They are still improving some little things like weight, power brake.

I drove the SWB C8 Spyder and Laviollete and the LWB C8 Aileron at the CEO Experience in Salt Lake City. The Aileron is different in character from the SWB cars. It is more planted, stable at speed. The gearing provides smoother shifts, less likely to break the car free from the road. The car is more mature and sophisticated, a little less sporty. It feels and acts like at "GT car" rather than a "sports car", if that makes sense.
I enjoyed driving all the Spykers. They are so gorgeous! In the end, I purchased a SWB C8 Spyder since that fit my personal driving style a bit better. Dutchdude, glad to hear you had fun! Justice
