As you can see, Spyker will be at the Calgary Auto show

NEW SPYKER SUPERCAR SHOWCASED AT 2011 CALGARY AUTO SHOW

8 March 2011

● Spyker C8 Aileron makes Calgary Auto Show debut from 9 – 13 March 2011
● New flagship luxury supercar displayed as production starts in UK
● Deliveries of C8 Aileron to customers in the Americas will start summer 2011
● Spyker C8 Aileron is priced from CAD232,000

Zeewolde, The Netherlands, 8 March 2011 – Calgarians will this week have the opportunity to view Spyker’s new C8 Aileron flagship supercar in the metal for the first time as it makes its Calgary Auto Show debut.

The all-new Spyker C8 Aileron marks the next step in Spyker’s evolution. Its presence at the 31st Calgary International Auto and Truck Show in the BMO Centre at Stampede Park is courtesy of The Distinctive Collection, part of the Dilawri Automotive Group in Calgary. The Spyker C8 Aileron retails from CAD232,000.

Inspired by the company’s aviation heritage, Spyker’s second-generation sports car features cues from second-generation aircraft propulsion, highlighting the turbine blade, rather than the propeller which adorned many elements of Spyker’s first generation, short wheelbase cars.

The Spyker C8 Aileron accelerates to 62mph in 4.5 and on to a top speed of 187mph thanks to an Audi-sourced 400ps 4.2-liter V8 power plant.

With sleek aerodynamics, a long GT wheelbase, luxurious and spacious cabin and world-class ZF six-speed automatic transmission, the new C8 Aileron broadens the appeal of the Spyker brand while maintaining the marque’s exclusivity.

Series production of the Spyker C8 Aileron is ramping up at CPP’s Coventry assembly facility, where all future Spyker models will be produced. With a workforce of 250 highly skilled automotive specialist designers, technicians and craftsmen, CPP boasts vast experience working with global luxury car brands.

Customer deliveries of the C8 Aileron in the Americas is planned to start from summer 2011 and the order book extends into early 2012 with sales shared amongst Spyker’s retail partners in Europe, North America, the Middle East and China.

Carsten Preisz, VP Sales and Marketing for Spyker of North America, comments: “I’m delighted that auto enthusiasts in Calgary are having the opportunity to catch a glimpse of one of the most exotic and exclusive supercars on the planet.

“As the car is showcased in Calgary, the first of 100 customer cars planned for 2011 are being hand built by true craftsmen at the CPP production facility in Coventry, England, masters of their art who are passionate about applying their skills to bring this car to life,” continues Preisz. “I hope the show visitors enjoy viewing this exceptional example of automotive art and engineering.”

Amongst others, I added 'The Spyker Story by Hans van Rennes' to the calendar. Maybe some in the UK are interested.

The Spyker Story

Spyker will have a super line-up at the Shanghai Motor show this month!

[Reddingius]

I only hope we'll see something of the super sports utility vehicle there.. I've been waiting for so long!

(or maybe that's what you're hinting at? )

[IVR007]

Sorry, I was hinting at the supercharged laviolettes

[IVR007]

I keep updating this thread (first post). Today I added Salon privé

[OnTheLam]

Thank you!

[IVR007]

You're welcome Justice. I updated it with the Ралли суперкаров today.

[OnTheLam]

I'll be in Pebble Beach as usual, so see any and all of you Spykerati? Spykeristas? Spykerkind? folk there at the Spyker tent.

[IVR007]

Aileron at 'Droomrit voor het leven'
(charity event today:

Spyker #droomrit on Twitpic

[Aiglos91]

If that was today (and these pictures as well Spyker C8 Aileron - Autogespot), than we can conclude there are at least 2 white Ailerons
I didn't knew there were 2, but I did assume there were. We just need to find out what the other #VIN is.

[IVR007]

Yep there are two white ailerons: #254 and #259 (first black). #254 is a real pre-production car and #259 is more of a production car.
