Overall shape reminds of a Saleen S7.

Not overly attractive. Only 3 things I like about this car:

1. The overall stance and dimensions are quite long and stretched which is something refreshingly different to the usual size and shape of mid-engine sports/super/hypercars we see these days.
2. The rims... oh my, to die for!
3. The quality of that interior. Top notch!

It is very original -- and the whole impression it gives is one of outstanding quality and attention to detail.

We have a Bentley dealer here that sells these and they're different to say the least. One of the rarest cars on American roads.

I checked this car out more due to boredom..
and i think i like it alot..
with the c8 i had a huge problem..and that was the japanese boring front ..
this new front is smashing..
just fit the old steering wheel to it..and im happy..

PS
The damn thing is pretty fast around a track.. just below the GT3 and above the M3 CSL on TG track.. and thats the C8..this one should be faster

Monterey 2009: Spyker C8 Aileron Spyder debuts














Quote:
Like the original C8, Spyker developed the Aileron to be a convertible from the onset, so little if any modifications have been made to ready the Spyder for drop-top duty. The chassis carries over unchanged, as does the drivetrain – an Audi-sourced 400+ hp 4.2-liter with a choice of either a six-speed manual or automatic gearbox (with paddle shifters) – along with the massive AP brakes and 19-inch Aeroblade wheels. And if the inside of the Aileron wasn't enough of a masterpiece to begin with, Spyker has teamed up with ultra-high-end stereo purveyors Kharma to offer a new infotainment system that will add another level of excess to the already excessive interior. Expect sales to begin later this, with around 50 percent of all Spyders winding up on U.S. shores.

To me, it's not the best looking car out there but the detailed work put into this car makes it quite unique. It is almost like a rolling artwork.
