Saab will operate under the helm of its new mother company the Spyker Cars N.V. The sale marks an exciting time, though sorry to the brand which now belongs to a list of failed auto badges, as Spyker might have some positive influence to the iconic Saab brand.

The top executive of Saab sees the deal as beneficial for customers, dealers, suppliers, and employees of the company. The car manufacturer is now looking ahead to what the next step will be for their brand. The earliest move will be the roll out of the 9-5 sedan which is expected to hit dealerships on the latter part of 2010.

The government of Sweden, Spyker Cars, and General Motors explored all possibilities and potentials of the deal to make it sustainable for Saab. The transfer of the operations of Saab might take about a month complete but the completion of the deal will promote a good mood to create new products for Saab.

Spyker is a small company that makes only a handful of units every year but the persistence of their team showed its commitment to the Saab brand for the long-term.

The sales process started last summer when GM had to declare bankruptcy. Saab attracted bidders but only Koenigssegg came close to inking one only to back out because of funding problems. Spyker came up with the money and somehow gives another life to Saab.

Spyker is proud to declare that the C8 Aileron’s chassis totally coated with aluminum. It was redesigned to be able to achieve increased torsional rigidity and to install the latest suspension system. These features greatly provide a supreme foundation for ultimate performance on vehicle dynamics. The new Spyker has also maximized its dimensions, creating an optimized interior space to optional gearbox accommodation. If to compare with Spyker C8 Laviolette and C8 Spyder, the C8 Aileron is 150 mm longer, which gives more ease in driving and enhanced stability during high speeds.

In terms of the Spyker C8 Aileron’s power train, it is revved up with the Audi 4.2 liter V8 engine that is capable of releasing a generous amount of 400 bhp and 354 lb-ft torque. The Aileron can hit the speed rate of 62 mph in just 4.5 seconds and has reaches a top speed of 187 mph. Also available are two transmission alternatives. A six-speed Getrag manual gearbox is an optional choice, and the optional transmission is the ZF automatic.

The design of the C8 Aileron characterizes the creative evolution of Spyker’s renowned car architecture, which is greatly influenced by the car company’s aviation roots.

Distribution in the global market of the C8 Aileron will start on May 2009 with the base price of $240,000 for manually geared versions.

This Spyker Cellphone is more of the same and I honestly don’t like it — but — for the sake of being informative, here’s a video from PortableGear showing the phone in all its glory!

What a looker, isn’t it?

Spyker’s own V8 made/makes it fast. Very fast. I love it.

Aah the definitive Spyker-sound!
