2009 Spyker C8 Aileron


Spyker Cars introduced its prototype C8 Aileron sports car last year and has fine-tuned the vehicle up to production trim just in time for the 2009 Geneva Motor Show.
Under the hood is an Audi 4.2-liter V8 with 400 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque, allowing for a 4.5-second 0-60-mph time and a top speed of 187 mph. The engine can be mated to either a six-speed Getrag manual or a ZF automatic transmission. AP Racing supplies the brakes, and a front and rear independent double-wishbone suspension system made of mostly forged aluminum is standard on the Aileron.
