    Get rid of all the stupid over-the-top little circular scoops, and hood vents, etc...and it would have some SICK body lines.

    Interior is WAY too blingy for me, but yeah yeah...it's still a baddass car. I'd drive one in a heart beat.

    Gotta disagree here, Spyker has always been known for putting form and flash before function, or at least trying to mate the two. Unless of course you can prove the function of chromed out EVERYTHING vs. color matched...

    The chrome no, vents yes.

    It's an exotic supercar, it has to have off the wall styling or else it's just another

    I seriously think all of that is the best thing about the car...I love how ostentatious and over-the-top the car is.

    This is one of my favorite cars ever built. I actually like the normal C8 over this Aileron.

    Awesome cars nonetheless.

    I agree with the circular scoops but I kind of like the hood vents. As for the interior, I find it the best part of the car!

    I've been on the fence about this car for a while. From the back they don't look very good at all. Also it doesn't really have the power that you would expect it to have. Something that looks like that should hit 500hp easy. The interior is drop dead gorgeous and I love the exposed shift linkage.
