The annual Donkervoort Track Day was held this past Saturday and concluded this year’s Donkervoort driving season.
The final event was held at the spectacular Circuit de Bresse in France and saw a selection of potent Donkervoort’s hit the track including the very first French delivered Donkervoort D8 GTOs which were actually handed over to their happy and proud owners at the event before they were driven in fury on track!
Donkervoort have chosen to use a, five cylinder 340hp 2.5 TFSI Audi motor for the D8 GTO. This makes it possible to provide either a standard 340hp model or an uprated 400hp model. Torque tops out at 450Nm from about 1,600rpm. To access the extra power, a switch is located in the dashboard, next to a button for the traction control, another first for the D8.
A sprint from zero to 100km/h is done in three seconds while the top speed is 255km/h. A sprint from 100 to 200km/h in the standard mode with 340 horsepower is accomplished in an impressive 6.1 seconds.
