The Spyker C8 Aileron Spyder sports a high-quality, semi-automatic canvas soft-top. The roof’s operation is electric/hydraulic, secured by one central latch operated manually.
Once folded, the soft-top is totally enclosed within the body of the car, allowing for an undisturbed profile. The roof retracts under an aluminum tonneau, with two buttresses upholstered in quilted Hulshof leather (matching the car’s interior) and featuring the company’s motto “Nulla Tenaci Invia Est Via” (“For the tenacious, no road is impassable”). The soft top has a glass rear window and is available in eight colors.
The Aileron Spyder features a luggage rack, CNC-machined from solid billets of aluminum, mounted immediately behind the roll hoops, on which a wing-shaped aluminum case is strapped. The case is trimmed in the same quilted leather as the interior and buttresses.
