The Dutch supercar is powered by a 4.2-litre Audi V8 engine, which also appears in the Audi R8. It produces 400bhp and 354lb ft or torque, while 0-62secs takes 4.5secs and it can reach 187mph.

Its all-aluminium spaceframe helps keep weight down to 1425kg. It also has an aluminium rear diffuser. Spyker say its turbine air inlets are a nod to the jet-engined aviation era, while LEDs are used in the front and rear headlights.
Inside, there are Sparco sports seats, a full leather interior and brushed aluminium trim.
Prices start at around £160,000 and the Spyker C8 Aileron is expected to go on sale next year.
