"And that’s when we get the first minor disappointment.There is no savage explosion, no vicious burst of flames from a car that looks like a jet fighter in full flight. This is, when all is said and done, a mildly tuned Audi V8, and it simply coughs into life and settles into a steady rumble. Muller has already spec-ced a louder exhaust that will bring the characteristic V8 burble back into play. There are bypass valves that help make the note, but even on its loudest setting it falls far short and fails to drown out the transmission whine from the Audi-sourced ZF torque converter auto box that will form the only transmission in the early days."

So Sander, I heard a lot of people complain about the brakes on the pre production models, how's the fine tuning going? Getting close to completion?

As of now, a Spyker C8 LM85 is available in a downloadable content pack in Forza Motorsport 3! As soon as I get my Xbox fixed (red ring of death, damnit) I will purchase FM3 especially for the Spyker.
