If you read the Spyker website (Welcome to the website of Spyker Cars | Spykercars), they claim that form follows function and that no part of the car compromises function for form.
They also never claim the the forms they chose best enhanced the function. Reading their justifications for the various bits and elements of the car is hilarious. It's like they bought a shell design from someone, and then started poking holes in it and chopping bits off to make it functional.

And a lot of the functional aesthetic description seems to come from choice they made to make more simple shapes for manufacturing, than for aesthetics or performance
