Donkervoort from the Netherlands has become known and famous for exciting sports cars with little weight and more than adequate power. Joop Donkervoort founded the company together with his wife 42 years ago and celebrated his 70th birthday himself in 2019. On this occasion, his son Denis, who has joined the management of the sports car manufacturer in recent years, announced a special birthday model in the form of the D8 GTO-JD70. Due to various circumstances, not least the Corona pandemic, the debut of this vehicle was postponed to June 2020, but the wait was undoubtedly worthwhile for customers and interested parties. The GTO-JD70 is the wildest road-legal creation from Lelystad to date.

As with all D8 GTOs, the birthday model JD70 also features a 2.5-liter inline five-cylinder engine with turbocharging under the removable bonnet, which they purchase at Audi. However, the engines are given their own independent tuning, resulting in an increase in output to 310 kW\/415 hp and 520 newtonmeters of torque. In conjunction with the manual five-speed gearbox with rev-matching function when downshifting, together with full throttle upshift mode and the low total weight of just 700 kilograms, it takes 2.7 seconds to accelerate from a standing start to 62 mph, 7.7 seconds to go to 124 mph and on to a topspeed of 174 mph. Traction control adjustable in several modes allows the driver to choose how much driving assistance he needs. In addition, after a somewhat longer period of time, sidepipe exhaust tips are celebrating their comeback at Donkervoort, in which catalytic converters and particle filters have actually been integrated. In this way Donkervoort achieves the strict EU6D-Temp emission standard. During the test drives, the chassis was already able to show what it is capable of.<\/p>\n\n\n
