Dutch Sports Cars Coming to US

The Donkervoort D8 GTO is a classic, hand-built, lightweight, hot rod by Donkervoort Automakers of the Netherlands.  The vehicle, that is essentially a European version of a hot rod, is now coming to the US.  The brand, which dates back to 1978, is synonymous with customization and "no compromises" on customer service.  This brand is so coveted that there is a two-year waiting list for their vehicles in Europe. 

Speed Machines

The vehicles are built to be speed machines and to deliver a thrilling experience of pure driving.  The first model coming to the US is the D8 GTO Individual which is elegantly styled and very fast.  It has an Audi sport-sourced turbocharged, 5-cylinder engine.  The engine pumps out more than 400 hp and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in a lightning 2.7 seconds.  It can hit 124 mph in less than 8 seconds.  Starting at $240,000, it can be customized to the individual's specifications.  Donkervoort has set aside a number of vehicles for US customers so the wait for a vehicle in the US should not be long. To bring the vehicles to the US, Donkervoort is working with Bespoke Imports Group which will sell and service the vehicles in the US.  For more news stories like this, New Travel Vehicles Illustrated
