Because driving a Spyker C8 Aileron isn't as much fun if people can't see you enjoying it, Spyker unveiled the Spyker C8 Aileron Spyder to the wealthy masses at this weekend's Pebble Beach Concours. More »

The Spyker C8 Laviolette LM85 brought its funky livery and unecessarily complicated name to the La Auto Show floor. Based on the GT2 class Spyker LeMans racer, the LM85 comes equipped with an all aluminum Audi 4.2-liter V8 paired with a six-speed Getrag gearbox good for 400 HP. In addition to all the go-fast bits and luxurious appointments, new owners will be on the recieving end of a very special prize. More »

The Spyker C8 Laviolette LM85 is in effect a road going version of Spyker's GT2 Le Mans racer and will be debuting officially later at the LA Auto Show. So how does the Laviolette LM85 go even crazier than the normal C8? Underneath the psychotic paint job they've got an Audi-sourced 4.2 liter V8 producing 400 HP and mated to a manual six-speed Getrag gearbox (uh oh!). Inside, Spyker's traditional understatement follows along in this car with lavish amounts of leather, Alcantara, a set of Chronoswiss gauges to match the included Chronoswiss watch, and a luscious machine turned dash.

It may look like the Dutch company's GT2 LeMans racer, but the Spyker C8 Laviolette LM85 is essentially a standard road car that's had orange paint spilled on it done up in racing livery. Limited to just 24 units, we're sure it will also include a premium price, though Spyker probably figures that shouldn't be an issue for its customers. Who exactly are these customers? Well, they're likely going to unveil the car at the opening of Spyker's Saudi Arabia showroom. But if you're not in the middle east and you're interested in checking it out, there's a photo of the Spyker's plush interior and more info over at Car And Driver. More »

We've just heard the Spyker C8 Aileron will make its North American debut at this weekend's Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance. We've already seen the Aileron make it's worldwide debut at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show, so color us jaded if we're not terribly excited by this news. In fact, we're beginning to get a bit annoyed with automakers treating Pebble Beach like the Detroit Auto Show. At the current count, debuting this year is the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport, the Pininfarina Hyperion, and one other (much more interesting) car we can't tell you about 'till tomorrow morning. Sure would be nice to have, you know, old cars at the show too.

We first saw the concept of the Spyker C8 Aileron at Geneva this year, but that version was hard-topped and had a funky green paint job. Autogespot (which has a creepy name in our opinion) has dug up a nice set of spy photos on the Audi-engined, supposedly 400-500 HP (big range huh?) mule version of the supercar undergoing testing somewhere in Europe. The Spyker C8 Aileron, a slightly stretched, aero- and handling-upgraded version of the regular octane C8.

Considering Spyker nearly flushed itself into the abyss by way of a cash-draining F1 team (Now Force India), it's good to see the Dutch company brimming with optimism here in Geneva. Just a year ago the company arrived in Switzerland high on Saudi cash and ready to launch a spectacle supercar designed by Zagato. These days, it's a more sober Spyker that showed the C8 Aileron, a Grand Tourer powered by an Audi-sourced 4.2-liter V8 producing 400 horsepower. Set to be priced from around $350,000 less than the C12 Zagato's $650,000 tag, the C8 Aileron is a symbol of the company's new focus and two-thirds less batshit audacity. Still, the company says it will run two Laviolette GT2R's in the 2008 Le Mans Series, and a yet-to-be disclosed entrant in the 24 hours of Le Mans. No word on whether those cars' quick-change hubs will have "Do" and "Undo" directions on them like the C8 Aileron. Press release after the jump. More »
