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

They didn't say the parts they chose had zero aesthetic value...

Air tubes
Only design features that have a proper function have a right to be on a Spyker. This means that the beautifully hand-crafted aluminium air tubes in the flanks of the car - and in the roof, in case of the C8 Laviolette and the C8 Double12 S - are there for a purpose; they feed cool air into the engine and to the brakes. But they also form visual highlights to the shape of the body of the Spyker, subtly sticking through the skin of the car, and are reminiscent of modern air jet fighters.
