For the first time in almost 30 years of Donkervoort Cars company history, the brand is introducing a closed sports car. The D8 GT is delivered with the well-known Audi four cylinder turbo power source with 180, 210 or 270 brake horsepower. It’s expected that the D8 GT will make its official debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2007.

This new Donkervoort, which was revealed at the Tuner GP does not have the external characteristics of a standard Donkervoort. At the event it was driven to a time of 1.04,765 minutes by racing driver, Michael Düchting, who scored drove the fastest lap on the legendary Hockenheim circuit.

Lelystad, 29th June 2005 - Lap records around Germany's Nordschleife Nürburgring are highly contested and debated. Recently, a very upgraded Donkervoort D8, laden with a turbocharger and huge rear wing, made history by beating the lap record for a production car. This record was quite controversial at the time, as Donkervoort hadn't released a road car like their ring car - until now.
