Dutch manufacturer Spyker continues to up the ante with their latest take on an open air sports car. The convertible version of their all new, second-generation C8 Aileron debuted earlier this month at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance to enthusiastic response. The hydraulically powered canvas soft top disappears in 20 seconds, and stows seamlessly underneath an aluminum tonneau, flanked by two Hulshof leather buttresses (yes, they match the interior). The all-aluminium space frame is complimented by a Lotus-sourced suspension, and the C8 is powered by the now-familiar Audi 4.2L V8 producing in excess of 400bhp. We’ve come to expect great things from plane builders-turned-automakers, and Spyker’s new creation does not disappoint.

What’s with the love affair with vents? Must every surface be rifled with vents? It seems this could be a beautiful car if they had shown just a touch of restraint.
utterly boring car.
Oh this is way more convenient than my backpack

Great looking convertible, the vents on the rear quarters look awesome, but do they actually do anything? They could have done without all the vents on the hood though, tends to bit too much when looking at the whole car.
