Honda S2000

Personally I've never been that fond of the Honda S2000, but I simply cannot ignore the fact that this car has become a real driver's icon.

Manufactured by the Honda Motor Company, a Japanese firm, it was launched in April 1999 as a celebration of the company's 50th anniversary.

The Honda S2000 gets its name from the engine displacement (2 liters), and thus follows in a line of tradition of  several cars before - the S500, S600 and S800 roadsters from the 1960s.

Here's another bit of trivia: did you know that the S2000 held the record for highest horsepower per liter for any NA piston road production car for over 10 years? After that, Ferrari introduced the 458 and the record was broken. Impressive!

Spyker C8 Aileron

Produced by Spyker Cars, the C8 Aileron is a luxurious two-seater sports car. The base model has an Audi 4.2 litre V8 engine, 400BHP strong, enabling the car to reach a top speed of 300 km/h (186 mph).

It is the successor of the Spyker C8 Laviolette.

I have found several sets of very nice pictures of the Spyker C8 Aileron, the C8 Aileron Spyder, the Racer GT as well as a few shots of the car's initial launch at the Geneva motor show, so I'll be posting these in a few galleries - let's have a Spyker week!

Here is the initial gallery of Spyker C8 Aileron pictures - enjoy!
