The most powerful engine ever seen in a Donkervoort and a radical approach to customization set the new D8 GTO Individual Series apart from every other Donkervoort. Customers will be given a stunningly fast, strong D8 GTO Individual Series and a free hand to customize it as much as they like, in whatever direction they prefer. It's Donkervoort demonstrating the peak of its powers as a boutique manufacturer, delivering hypercar performance and personalization at a supercar price point. Donkervoorts have always been amongst the most readily customizable supercars in the world, but the D8 GTO Individual Series takes those ideas to extremes with cars that reflect their owners' personalities and perfectly suit their lifestyles. The base price of this latest addition is €162,900 (excluding VAT and on-road costs). But the Donkervoort D8 GTO Individual Series isn't just a step away from planned equipment "packs" and into the world of true individuality. It's also faster. Planned as the final road-going version of the legendary D8 GTO model, the D8 GTO Individual Series will boast a power increase to 435 horsepower, 570Nm of torque and a wider usable power range. It marks the first collaboration between Donkervoort's technical development department and German Audi racers, Abt Sportsline. Durability testing has shown the D8 GTO Individual Series is 11km/h faster at the end of the Kemmel Straight at Spa-Francorchamps, cutting 1.4 seconds from JD70's lap time at the 7km Belgian Grand Prix circuit.
Individual Series: Whatever the individual wants
The successor to the sold-out D8 GTO-JD70 homage model, the D8 GTO Individual Series has been conceived as a totally customizable Donkervoort - even more than the generous options list usually encourages. The Donkervoort D8 GTO Individual Series is delivered as a base series car with total customer freedom to create a Donkervoort to meet their preferences, whether their needs lean towards the track, touring, design or luxury. Donkervoort can even customize and create individual pieces for customers if they choose; to help them own a car that perfectly matches their own personalities and preferences. Customers can even have individual luggage made for their cars to go with their chosen Donkervoort Wear apparel if they prefer touring, or individual made-to-measure race suits and helmets if they prefer track days. All past Donkervoorts have been offered with a high level of standard equipment and a range of packs, or groups of options that (experience told us) are usually ordered together. The D8-GTO Individual Series allows Donkervoort buyers to delve deep into their imaginations and into our options list to create the most personal driving experience imaginable.
Individual Comfort
The seat options can be comfort oriented, with integrated heating, and range all the way up to full carbon race seats. And, of course, they can be trimmed in whatever colours, patterns and (validated) materials people prefer. Combine the most comfortable seating available, the adjustable electronic power steering system and the windprotection flap at the top of the windscreen frame and the D8 GTO Individual Series can be a (relatively) relaxed cruiser. The full fury of track-day Donkervoorts isn't always appropriate for longer journeys, or for cruising in the city, so Donkervoort has developed even more techniques isolate the cabin from vibrations. The Individual Series has more comfort and convenience ideas, like reversing cameras, radar detectors, electric air conditioning and even a phone holder.
Individual Design
The Donkervoort D8 GTO Individual Series bonnet is much smoother than the JD70 version, though the Joop Donkervoort tribute model's scoops, air outlets and louvres can be returned on request. Carbon-fibre wheels aren't for everybody, but we've already found they're everything for some people, because they're beautiful as well as being very light. Paint? You want paint? You want more than one colour of paint? You don't want paint at all? You want a coloured clear coat? You want something a bit extra to protect the paint? You want triple-layer paint? You want to invent your own paint? Yes, yes, yes, yes and yes again.
