    You are really building up the tension guys 85% different than a C8.. I expected only some optical chances to rear end.

    No official info from Spykercars yet concerning the unveiling date of the production C8 Aileron. The 14-11-2008 press release tells us the following:
    The Spyker C8 Aileron will go into production at the end of 2008 with planned shipments to the USA to commence in Q1 2009
    The Geneva Auto Salon is probable the first time for us Europeans to see the C8 Aileron....

                It can be seen in this photogrpah which was posted before in the Spyker Discussion - Spyker C8LM85 thread (page 7 post #66 by luigisk)

                spykerlm85lalive_08.jpg

                It looks as if it is the Aileron prototype (at least the color combination is the same) as expected by some forum members.

                    Man I just can't wait to see it in it's final shape! I am curious if there will be any changes made to the overal proportions of the car, and whether the headlights are a bit less 'sharp'. I guess the fact that we haven't seen it testing for a while indicates that it's nearing completion

                      There's a bunch of pics of the Aileron on AutoSpies.com. Could not detect any changes.

                          It's in their LA Show gallery, starting on page 27.

                          Just noticed as well, that Autospies allows their users to create their own galleries of shows. So you might want to check these out too.

                              Since I knew this Spyker had a VIN plate I wanted to know what VIN number the Aileron prototype has. I worked through tons of pictures but was never able to figure it out. Yesterday I found a thumbnail of a picture with the right angle. I knew for sure that when I clicked on it to see the picture in a larger format the VIN plate would reveal its secret .

                              But it didn't... it was out of focus!

                              I couldn't take it no more and decided to ask Vinnie [ReducedSpeedAhead] for help. He was very kind and since he was actually at the L.A. Show where the Aileron prototype is also displayed, was able to read the VIN plate.

                              It says: XL9BA12G49Z363908

                              Yep, #908!

                              So bucciali you were right it not being #237 and SpykerOwner, your guess was pretty close!

                              Thanx to Vinnie [ReducedSpeedAhead] for providing this information!


                              @ Hans [SpykerOwner] Maybe the name of this thread should be changed in: #908 - Aileron Prototype - Gun Metal Grey/Tropicana Orange
