Dutch supercar maker Donkervoort is celebrating the 70th birthday of it’s founder, Joop Donkervoort, by creating a limited edition version of the D8 GTO. That means more power, more torque and more downforce, meaning the D8 GTO-JD70 is capable of pulling 2Gs of lateral acceleration, a feat only matched by the likes of the McLaren Senna.
The turbocharged 2.5L inline 5 engine remains the same as found in the regular D8 GTO, but this time Donkervoort has managed to squeeze out 420 PS (310 kW) of power and 413 lb-ft (560 Nm) of torque. Even better is that peak torque figure is now available between 1,750 and 6,350 rpm. 0-100 kph acceleration is up there with the big boys, clocking in at a very quick 2.7 seconds, helped by a set of sticky semi-slick tires.
