New images of the Audi TT Clubsport suggest the windshield from the concept drawings will make it to the production model. No word on whether or not the US will get it.

French Coachbuilder Labourdette was famous because of his frameless windows.
The patented concept was called Vutotal.

Brooklands aeroscreens
... on classic cars, particularly in the 1920s and 30s, minimal windscreens have been in use and dubbed "Brooklands aeroscreens". They consist of a small piece of glass, about two fist in size and framed only on three sides. Even more excitingly, they can be folded down. Now you can experience the full wind in your face and you'd better be prepared with goggles!
As an example, I am showing the one on a Bugatti T35B. Note: this car may have only 140hp, but a top speed of just over 200km/h and does 0-100 in 6s.

are other Spyker C8 features unique?
... there are other Spyker features on the C8. I wonder if they are unique or if we can find other cars having them as well.
1. radiator. the air comes in and gets out again right in front of the driver.
2. air intakes. the ones on the side (and on the roof for Laviolette) look like syringe needles.
3. tail lights. 4 round lights at 45 degrees.
Please help!

1: Can be found on countless cars.
2: Can be found in a similar shape on several aircrafts and many coachbuilt cars from the '30s and '40s. (Chapron, Antem, Michelotti, Vignale)) They can also be found pointing in opposite direction.
3: Fiat Coupe. Several other cars have a similar layout with 6 or more round lights.In order to create objects of timeless beauty, one must respect the past, enjoy the present and look with enthusiasm into the future. www.michielvandenbrink.com

Check this Bugatti T101 by Antem: COACHBUILD.com - Antem Bugatti T101 Coupe 1951 #101504
Whoever owns a black Spyker C8 could very well paint the insides of the tubes red, leaving the edge and outside of the tube clear. I think that would be very cool.In order to create objects of timeless beauty, one must respect the past, enjoy the present and look with enthusiasm into the future. www.michielvandenbrink.com

Similar tubes, only more integrated than the Spyker's on this Maserati by Frua: COACHBUILD.com - Frua Maserati A6G 2000 Serie 1 Spider
This type of air vents can be found on numerous Italian sportscars bodied by Stabilimenti Farina, Frua, Pininfarina, etc...
Here they are on a Pinin Farina Cisitalia: COACHBUILD.com - Pininfarina Cisitalia 202 Coupe 1947In order to create objects of timeless beauty, one must respect the past, enjoy the present and look with enthusiasm into the future. www.michielvandenbrink.com
