  • Love the growl from that engine! Grrr!

  • Wait.. AUTOMATIC?! I thought the shift knob thing in the center was the manual gear shifter?

  • This car is like a woman; sexy, curvy, and too many holes!!!! Lol, I love this car.

  • Why would you get the flappy paddle gearbox with Spyker's exposed gear linkage...that's...that's like going to the watching a porn movie where no one gets naked.

  • For those who like a little or much more performance, they can fit a supercharger too. There was one in the factory when I visited, although I'm not sure that was an after market job or factory fitted. Anyway, it's possible to have a performance upgrade. Most buyers don't, because they have other cars for that. Like an Aventador perhaps. The fun thing about owning a Spyker is that your neighbor in Dubai isn't likely to own a Spyker.

  • ive never liked spyker until i saw this thing

  • uhh, umm, uh, uhh, um, uhh, uh

  • PROUD TO BE DUTCH!!!

  • Holland <3

  • those air intakers look like pimples on the car's face. why did they make them so round? and i also don't like the interior at all.

  • i find this easy to masturbate to

  • Thats shit compared with Ferraris or any italian cars :P

  • @mefenho No it's not.

  • @mefenho spyker is the most beautiful car in the world. looks better than ferrari and lambo. its not as fast but hell, it looks better than those cars. everyone knows about ferrari and lambo. but not everyone knows about spyker. you would look soo much better rolling up in an aileron than a ferrari.

  • Comment removed

  • Lotus and comfort does not belong in the same sentence.

  • @phantomloita lotus??

  • top gear said it drives like a dogg

  • @j5o14jq222 top gear tested the car when it first came out. this is the new updated model...as if you cant tell

  • @pepsidude16 it is cool 4 sure iv always liked it and yea i can tell its an update

  • dutch car you know its going too be far out

  • ive said it before, this car NEEDS more power. i suggest giving it a twin-screw supercharger and bumping the power upto 500 or more. because it needs to hold its own against ferraris and lamborghinis it competes against.

  • @cardude1992 it doesnt competes against lambo and ferarri dumbas cant you hear this guy, and spyker say it themself this is a unique car that doesnt compete with any ohter car, lambo and ferarri is for evry punk as that got some money. this is a jewel this is a car for the people that want something special not just a lambo with a big engine no something unique!

    and then u dont need a big engine.

    and lambo and ferarri are not in spykers league

  • @camiel221 well thats what you think. but it is still a performance car. im just saying i would be embarrassed if i was driving this and got smoked by and baby ferrari or lamborghini. and about this being in a different league than those cars, come on its not that great. i like the aventador more. but thats just me.

  • @cardude1992 it i just in an other league not because of what he can but because of the exlusive of the car just like u can never compare a bentley to a mercedes

  • @camiel221 i know how exclusive it is. im just saying i still wouldnt say its better than a lamborghini aventador. being exclusive isnt everything. but to really be the best it needs more performance. its still pretty good though.

  • @cardude1992 i think u dont get the part of spykers legauge it aint about performance it is about style, but i know what u mean yes it would be funner if it got 100 hp more but stil i wouldnt realy care if i got this spyker with 100 hp more ore not it aint about the performance on this car ;)

  • "without any fear of spinning" ?? not like he was driving it anywhere near its limits, looked like he was on a sunday cruise out there....

  • the back looks exactly like a lotus

  • why do most people reviewing this car take it to the track? not a single person that buys this car will ever take it to the track... certain cars thats ok, but for me, id rather see how this thing is as a practical car on actual roads.

  • Thanks for boring the shit out of me

  • Put this in Gran Turismo!!!

  • Fun Fact. Victor Muller the CEO of Spyker and Saab, designs the cars himself

  • I said a good car make, name one car that chevy has made that is fantastic.

  • do your glasses of!

    proud to be Dutch :D

  • Oh!!! And don't dis the British you stupid small brained American!!!!!! In what way would we be jealous of you!!! I hate the Americans, they always think they know better!!! Well here is some great news for you!!! Nobody likes you and everybody thinks you are worthless!! I know nobody who even has a kind word to say to you lot!!! If you think that America builds better cars then Europe does then name some of those cars. The only American brand I think that have made some good cars are Ford, but

  • @Tuppence231 chevy

  • Why are you driving with your lights on you fool!!! It is in the middle of the day which is known as daylight! WOW!!! Look at all that colour!!! Isn't it wonderful, I know what will make it better!!! Let's drive with the lights on to see it better!!! What was going through that tiny mind of yours!!!

  • wow this thing is ugly

  • @ItzEvident wooow you're gay?

  • lekker kontje

  • i want to know wtf is going on with that shifter. soo cool but WHY IS IT IN THE AUTOMATIC VERSION?? thats retarded

  • lolz this company has never made profit since it's beginning. however, if i ever have enough money to buy a sportscar, i'm buying one of these

  • wow... just gorgeous in its own right.. love it! :D

  • wow...I'm proud being dutch!!!!xD

  • And Btw Btw Bergstein is f*cking right basterds

  • Btw wait for the twin turbo version to come out it has 535 hp and a top speed of 200 mp/h

  • wooh American people drive sloooooooow dude!

  • look at the dudes shoes, whats that like a size 4 in kids, nice shoes too...i bet he's a big disappointment with the ladies...wtf dude, did you go through chinese foot binding?

  • Why on earth would you buy a high dollar sportscar with an automatic?

  • so ugly

  • Aston Martin Vanquish had sex with Mclaren F1?

  • fucking asian can't even drive why is he going 10 km/hr in a race track what a shitty test driver

  • i like how every car show is now trying to copy Top Gear with the filmography....

  • this mutahfucka is a boring bastard

  • Oh, and by the way..

    This car makes me proud to be Dutch.

  • i don't want a veyron anymore, i want a Aileron... 1000 times more beautiful, (1000 times slower as well, but that doesn't matter, it's a GT!)

  • if i had enough money i would buy this care immediately

  • It will have a new engine this year :) It's pretty quick but it needs more power I think.

  • @SeattleRover16 well, a GT car is more laid back I guess. It's considered a fast ground-coverer, meaning it's for long distance fast cruisers. Thus it has more comfortable driving position such as comfy seats.

  • What is the difference between a race car and a GT car? Edward mentioned several times in the video that he would consider it a GT car rather than a race car.

  • You guys at Motortrend are huge liers ....

    you always said that you don't like lot of bottons on the car and it's make the car comblecated ... The qestion is : why you love this many bottons in the Spyker ?

    and about the Drag race between The LF-A & GT-R : how possible the distance between the two cars at the end of the drag race is very close ?

    I just can't understand that a car wich is lighter & more powerfull Than GT-R and it's almost beated it

    sory for my English ...

  • @heatfullrat Well if you weren't so naive you'd see that numbers don't make a car, the driver does.

  • @buttnut1080 Well they are Frustrating people who work very hard on a car for 10 years ... they should have better drivers .. not telling Fake " facts "

  • @heatfullrat No you're not telling facts at all. They are very good drivers. Do you think you could pull the numbers either of those cars have? Doubtful. Just because the race didn't turn out the way you thought it would, doesn't mean they're liars or that they're bad drivers; just different ones.

  • wow loh как лох ))) в попу Спайкер-Очумелые Ручки,( в попу Опель)...за Антонова (и за Сбербанк). Покатаюсь на лисапеде пока...

  • Spyker saved Saab

  • has the sickest tranny

  • OMG I fell asleep during this video...this guy is the Ben Stein of the automotive world. How can they make a car like this seem boring? Horrible, terrible video...zombie host...fantastic car. I hate Motor Trend.

  • A dream!!!

  • That steering wheel is ugly compared to the European version.... I guess airbag requirements are the reason. Lame. But that would never detour me from this car. Though I'd push to get a C12 Zagato if they ever make it.

  • When it has a flip up switch so you can turn it on, must mean its a rocket ship! or as fast as one

  • The car has personality. Loh does not.

  • I just found my dream ride!!!

  • One of the most butifull cars ever

  • Did he powerslide that thing even once???

  • If I had one of these, i'd never drive. Just look at it all day long

  • @fanofdiesel I would get two and pay someone to drive it next to me so I could still look at it

  • the ting that i dont like about spyker cars is the top intercooler tingy its same as u look at the maseratti mc 12 i dont like it the sides is ok but spyker is too aerodynamic but from all that not real fast the results dont show it

  • @PowerGamer247 the TING I don't like is how your comment sounds like a ra-tard...wait! Have you bankrupted a casino??

  • also: Dutch pride :D

  • Nice carm, but this presenter is brutal.

  • the side vents are so ugly, should not be so round ... like the side vents on the c8 spyder better .....

  • dutch car company what ever you want :D

  • I'm so glad they bought Saab from the inferior GM! I have a new appreciation for my 9-3 (although I wanted Koenigsegg to buy Saab)

  • the interior is very unique, the lighting is unlike any other

  • that´s a really special car

    it looks well made and the interieur looks so high quality

    very nice

  • I didn't really like the looks of the C8 Laviolette, although i loved the interior.

    This one is just... Damn..

    Spyker, you knocked my socks off.

  • i love the spyker c8 aileron it's so cool

    thank u for buying saab,spyker

  • spyker is must better than Saab but ok Saab is good enough for the holland land

    the spyker cars are just must better and cooler to have...

  • Must be good for SAAB...!

  • it's dutch and i am from holland yeah

  • They say that Spyker was making cars back in the 70s and 80s, but I can't find any pictures of them....were they any good?

    Do they even exist?

  • @xristo702 more lik 20s

  • @xristo702

    Spyker didn't make cars in the 70s and 80s. Spyker Cars went bankrupt in 1925. In the 90s, Maarten de Bruijn built a car, which he called Silvestris. Dutch businessman Victor Muller got interested and decided to take the design and actually start producing it under the name Spyker. That's how this whole thing got started. So basically, the Spyker Cars which we know today has nothing to do with the original Spyker Cars, it just uses the name.

  • This is BEAUTIFUL!! This is not an everyday car, this is not a car to drive.....This is car to use it in special moments, it is a car to more than drive it, WEAR IT!! I like the style in this car. It is like driving a Fashion Accessory. I really really like this car. Now Spyker got SAAB, I think with that brand they will get good profits from the regular car market, not just from the super cars market.

  • overall nice design except for that mohawk thingy.

  • shame its gonna be built in coventry :(

  • Hmm, Okey so this is the latest cool model from the car brand that just bought SAAB =))

  • Automatics ruin these cars, want automatic? Get a chrysler 3speed neon.

  • '99% of buyers will buy the automatic' No they won't. Only in America where nobody can drive proerly. Everyone in Europe will have the manual gearbox

  • people buy manual in Europe because its cheaper haha. Dont get me wrong though i drive manual

  • @timex7595...people buy manual in europe because they are able to shift! americans are overchallenged with shifting! :D thats it..

    even in their driving school cars they have automatic transmission! ahaha..

  • Or maybe Americans realize that just because you have use a manual doesn't make you racer worthy....it's arrogant and douche people like you that give europe and europeans a bad name in america that they mostly don't deserve.

  • in my humble opinion, timex7595´ statement at least was as arrogant and douche as mine! he deserved a dumbass statement! by the way...That's got nothing to do with you! its something between me an mister timex7595....

  • @berg.... ok have fun with timex7595 then...

  • He doesn't know that shifting gears take coordination and timing. Automatic is just terrible.

  • @bergstein7 in general, you're right, but the Americans who truly appreciate cars all know how to drive manual. i just got my license and am determined not to become one of those lazy americans who can't drive a manual.

  • @adman4993

    lol, and i'm one of those europeans who wants to become a lazy automatic driver

    i'm learning to drive manual tho

  • @bergstein7 its not that we are over challenged, I think its because our road systems are f**ked up. Europe's roads are safer and faster. Im moving.

  • @soufang Wrong, Europe's roads will take 5 hours to go 10 miles have you been to England... my god what a bloody mess.

  • @bergstein7 veru true

  • @bergstein7 u put american in manual car he will brake the gear box

  • @PowerGamer247 you put an english man on youtube and he'll fuck a sentence up

  • @bergstein7 people in europe are inbred.

  • @len0808 Your country ows its existence to Europeans, moron -_-'

  • @bergstein7

    ur an ignorant illegal alien mabe people some people just dont care to drive a manual car

  • @bergstein7

    Ya... either that or the transmission technology today makes automatics perform faster than any manual. Enzo Ferrari anyone?

  • @bergstein7 I drive a manual and I know how to drive 8 speeds, 10 speeds, and 13 speeds without a syncro. Oh yeah I'm an American too. Why don't you crawl back to your Nazi party which is all over Austria today and shut the fuck up.

  • @Warpath2198 man....shut the fuck up! what are yout alking about nazi party....you piece of.....whatever! you dont even know where austria is! dont talk about things, you dont know anything about.....

    go, take your gun and shoot people who trespass your property.....american idiot!

  • @bergstein7 dude just shut the fuck up i bet money that you have never even been to america or even know anything more than what you gay european friends tell you.

  • @krippkillaa

    What, you're saying it's not true?

    American driving schools do have automatics, and most people can not drive a stick.

    I know, I've spent a month in California, going to the university there to do a course of Business.

    Or at least, that was the excuse to everybody at home.

  • @DutchManticore yea i kinda know that and people cant drive them becuase maybe they have never drove one like me i dont know how to drive stick but that doesnt mean i cant learn how to

  • Auf dieses Video antworten...man....shut the fuck up! what are yout alking about nazi party....you piece of.....whatever! you dont even know where austria is! dont talk about things, you dont know anything about.....

    go, take your gun and shoot people who trespass your property.....american idiot! 

  • @bergstein7

    i will not feed the troll, i will not feed the troll...too bad other americans can't pick the trolls out

  • @bergstein7 faggot

  • @bergstein7

    fucking idiot. thats all i have to say to you.

  • @bergstein7 lol I honestly don't get it with you people. How come you assume manual is a challenge and that's what all the cool kids do. It's just stepping on a pedal, and grabbing a stick along with timing. What's the big deal lol you idiots pretend like you're a teenager who just found out that smoking makes you look cool. (Which doesn't) Seriously it's personal preference. Btw what do you know about America? lol that's right nothing.

  • @bergstein7 So you can stop making yourself look british by making up some shit you probably read off another euro's comment.

  • @bergstein7 No, people in the other side of the world get manual mostly cause it is cheaper.

  • @bergstein7 im american and i approve of this message.

    automatic is some pussy shit. you all know they are fastest on the drag strip though... which is also gay

  • @bergstein7 this is one the funniest comments i have ever come across. Well done!!!

  • @bergstein7 maybe because we pay for convenience and comfort? i went to europe and ive seen some the ugliest sounding, ugliest interior european cars ive ever seen! theres nothing "challenging" about driving manual, if a 15 year old european girl can drive it, any moron can. the stupidass british have always been jealous of us.

  • @denali22 It's not about the "challange" of driving a manual. It's about the fun. Be honest. Driving an automatic is boring as hell. Even though driving a manual becomes second nature, it's still much more fun and involving.

    And the other reason why most Europeans prefer a manual is, until the recent upcome of dual clutch trannies, manuals always had a huge advantage on automatics. Shifting is faster, you're always in the gear you want the car to be in and you get better fuel economy.

  • @ratmtbola dont get me wrong, when i see automatic sports cars i LAUGH. its stupid! but to most people driving a car is not a hobby..its a point A to B thing. i'd be way more comfortable with my grandparents driving an automatic car! And I dont know about you, but here in the US automatic cars shift faster than the average person shifting a manual lol!

  • @bergstein7 your just mad because us americans can cash 3 of them and then cash three more while you just watch

  • @bergstein7 Agree

  • The car is cool but i like the older C8 better.

  • looks kinda ghetto with all that chrome finishes............

  • not chrome, aluminum. Chrome would be far too heavy.

  • well whatever, its shiny and looks like chrome, but ok ALUMINUM ..HAHA

  • the talking ruins the whole video! nooooo

  • anyone know the song at 4:16?

    I love this car so much

  • this car is beautiful!

  • Wonderful! Sóóó much prettier than, say, an Audi R8 or Lamborghini, and it's way more unique too! It might be some form of patriottism(I'm Dutch), but even if this car was terrible on the road, I'd still get one...

    Trouwens, 'peterdepeer', doe iets aan je Engels... En ga alsjeblieft geen domme TopGear-termen gebruiken, 't klinkt alleen maar dom...

  • Its like a Zonda's little brother. Love it.

  • Ah My God, I Want One!!!

    Also When He Is In The Car, Talking about the light switches there is a background song.. does anyone know what this is.!! XX

  • And I'm still loving the interior...

  • Spyker C8 Aileron is both Beauty and the Beast.

  • whish i liked it more, i want to love it, i really do... :(

  • Second i don't like the fackt that they created a flappy padle gearbox. Part of the maggic regarding the old C8 was using that insane leaver. now instead you have these huge padle shifters.

    third the old chrome display was a master piece, now its over the top, in stead of retro airplain it looks like retro moon module. (specially referring to those two massive airvents in the middle)

    forth and last: look at the frond headlights, they just are not harmonious with the rest of the body work.

  • first let me state that i was a big fan of the original C8 spyker. it touched all the right buttens, interiour and exteriour wize. This Aileron is kind of disappointing.

    i kind of expected that they would have given it a more potent moter, the old c8 was already no match for the 360 modena, and time has moved on. I reallize that this car does not market itself in a similar way however, that does not justify the fact that it is starting to become underpowered. Even a BMW m3 has better figures.

  • Learn how to spell. Please. Seriously.

  • You miss the point of this car. Of course, they could've taken another, more powerful engine; the 580hp V10 from the Audi RS6 for instance. But this car is not ment to be fast. It's more a car you cruise in and just drive around instead of going really fast and racing with it. Spykers never were really fast, aren't really fast and never will be really fast. They're just not ment to be.

  • Too gimmicky!!

  • ed loh is an idot........enough said!

  • amazin car

  • It has a manual gearbox AND a flappy paddle?

  • Not bad for a company that was started in 1999. I think it's sexy (especially in black) and I'm not even a car nut.

  • I'm talking about the exterior, the interior in the particular model is horrible.. The dashboard is horrendous (diamond plate and green lights)..

  • did i just... wet myself?

  • Airplane-inspired cars are so old news! SAAB milked this to death and I grow tired of this kind of crap marketing since ever.

    There is no link between a car and plane, it's just a bunch of horse shit.

    What a fugly car, anyway...

  • It looks like the offspring of a Aston & Martin and a Lotus. even sounds like a bit like a AM.

  • Ya it does look like a Hybrid of both those styles

  • It looked ugly to to me until he said the price. After the price was revealed it now looks even uglier.

  • rudder=yaw

    aileron=pitch

  • Car looks amazing. Very good review too, very true to life.

  • This is the first American car review i really liked.

    He doesn't tell everything in a exaggerated way but more a European classy way and knows what he is talking about. So my compliments on this review

    O and this is really a great car, i really like the back, its really distinctive like the Zonda´s rear is.

  • Really well shot, but the clips of the car driving round the track - the car needed to be going way faster to match the pace of the music! Great overall effort though guys!

  • Art on wheels. This car has such attention to detail.

  • Comment removed

  • doesnt even look better than an astons skidmark,...

  • the aston will just be covered in clutch smoke
