This year, at the 59th Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, Spyker Cars unveiled a convertible version of its widely touted second-generation sports car. There are few modern production cars that are as magnificent as the new Spyker C8 Aileron Spyder prototype, a handcrafted roadster with unparalleled workmanship and an aviation-inspired design aesthetic. The Aileron Spyder features an Audi sourced 400 bhp V8 engine generating 354 lb-ft of torque mated with a Getrag manual six-speed gearbox. An optional ZF automatic transmission with paddle shifters is also available.

A limited edition run of just 24 of Spyker's GT2 LeMans based road cars will be built with production starting imminently. The orange and silver paint job with black powder-coat alloy wheels is sure to draw lots of attention to this exotic supercar. Audi's 4.2L V8 engine, putting out 400HP will serve as the powerplant. Paired with the light weight aluminum body and carbon fibre components such as the rear spoiler, the car will have a good power-to-weight ratio.

A six-speed manual Getrag gearbox will be used to whip the 2 seat mid-engine sportscar around town. The production version will make it's first appearance at the opening of Spyker of Saudi Arabia. For those of you LA (or planning to be) you can check it out at the upcoming auto show in November.
