Frequency change from Approach Control to Tower occurred 5 miles from [the airport]. ATIS (information Alpha) reported winds 120 at 15 knots gusting 18 knots; contacted Tower and requested touch and go. Tower cleared me for the option Runway 22; provided wind update of 160 at 15 knots gusting 20; advised of wake turbulence from a jet aircraft taking off ahead of me. Approach was conducted visually and straight in for 22 for a touch and go.Landing was normal; I moved flaps to takeoff position and applied power for takeoff. When power was applied the speed of the aircraft suddenly increased and it pointed to the left in an extreme manner. I made the decision to abort the takeoff; moved power to idle and applied full right rudder. The aircraft rolled to the right despite full left aileron which was set for cross wind correction. I avoided the runway lights and departed the runway into the grass area adjacent. I used light braking to bring the aircraft to a stop in the grass and contacted the Tower.The Tower instructed me to hold my position which I did and was met by a flight operations employee. I secured the engine and got out of the aircraft to inspect with the flight operations employee. We also inspected the runway for damage; no damage was found on the runway or aircraft. An FBO helped to move the aircraft to their ramp where it was subsequently sent to [maintenance] for inspection.
The pilot of a Diamond DV20 reported that while attempting to takeoff the aircraft suddenly sped up; the pilot lost control of the aircraft and it departed the runway.
