Video: Test drive: Spyker C8 Aileron review

Test driving the Spyker C8 Aileron provides a sense of sitting in supercar heaven. As if this vehicle was made by God himself, the Spyker C8 Aileron is perfect. Everything about the car is supreme, from the 100% aluminum construction to the special cold weather raised leather interior. The vehicle is hand made, but do not expect flaws. This car is the Rolex of automotive performance and luxury! Spyker has a rich heritage of aviation and it is clearly seen through out the vehicle. Aeronautical style gauges, cockpit like feel, and that warm feeling of rich surroundings engulfs the passengers as they depart gate C8 courtesy of Spyker. It doesn’t get much better than this!

Powered by a 4.2 liter Audi V8, the Spyker C8 Aileron has plenty of grunt to push occupants back into the seat as if simulating a private jet takeoff. Four hundred horsepower and 480 NM is plenty of power for this lightweight aluminum land bound aircraft. The only thing missing is wings! You will feel like you are flying on cloud nine as the Lotus suspension handles the obstacles within your trajectory. There is nothing wrong with this vehicle, it is perfect. If you can find one and you are in the market, buy it! You won’t be sorry. The vehicle I test drove was the pre-production model and was one of four in the entire world, valued at over one million dollars. View a complete slide show of the Spyker C8 Aileron and friends.
