Donkervoort D8

Donkervoort D8 is a series of ultra-light weight sports car manufactured by Dutch car manufacturer Donkervoort in Lelystad, Netherlands since 1993. They have been produced in a number of variants, starting with the original Donkervoort D8 Zetec (1993-1999). From 1993 until 1999, Donkervoort used engines made by Ford and since then they have depended on units made by German automobile manufacturer Audi.
Donkervoort D8 (1999-2008), D8 (E-gas) Wide Track (2008-2012), and the D8 270 followed the Zetec-engined cars. The D8 270 was the seventh fastest production car on Nürburgring's famous Nordschleife of 2011, at 7m 14.9s. The D8 Sport received a version of Audi's turbocharged 1.8-liter engine. The D8 GTO models include the Donkervoort D8 GTO (2013-present), D8 GTO Premium (2013), D8 GTO Bilster Berg Edition (2014-2015) and the D8 GTO RS (2016-present). In 2015 the all-carbon fiber "D8 GTO Bare Naked Carbon" appeared. In 2019 a special edition, Donkervoort D8 GTO JD-70, was created, followed by the Donkervoort D8 GTO JD-70 R the next year, in honor of founder Joop Donkervoort's 70th birthday.
