2010 Spyker C8 Aileron

Spyker Cars NV and Saab Automobile owner, Victor Muller, confirmed plans to sell Spyker’s high-end sports cars through Saab retailers by the end of the year. Spyker’s dealer network will almost double in 2010 expanding from 35 to 60 outlets and to about 90 by the end of next year.

It’s wonderful that the company that saved Saab is also benefiting from having done that in its own business. Aside from the Swedish automaker’s dealer network, Muller said that Spyker has also started to benefit from lower prices for “generic” parts such as windscreen wiper motors that Saab gets through its higher sales volumes, adding that Spyker also plans to “tap Saab’s engineering resources”.

C8 Aileron is one of the first Spyker models to be sold through selected Saab outlets. 2010 Spyker C8 Aileron can reach a top speed of 186mph or 300km/h. This will be sold at a price $214,990 in the U.S.
