Donkervoort D8 GTO Individual Series

A development collaboration with Abt Sportsline gives the D8 GTO Individual Series 435 horsepower, 570Nm of torque in a 695kg package.

That makes it fast enough to lap the Spa-Francorchamps Grand Prix circuit 1.4 seconds faster than the JD70 and gain 11km/h at the end of Kemmel Straight.

Everybody likes more power, but the boost to the D8 GTO Individual Series is the torque.

It’s so strong everywhere (570Nm from 1750rpm to 6350rpm) that we’ve given it taller final-drive gearing without losing any acceleration.

This means relaxed cruising, better fuel economy and fewer gear changes per race lap.

The Donkervoort GTO Individual Series gearshift is the fastest yet, and even has the track option* of paddle shifting.

Even though gear changes are now less frequent, the Individual Series has both a full-throttle system for upshifts and a Bosch rev-matching system for downshifts.

Besides a choice of gearknobs that can be custom made for each owner, there is even a six-speed paddle-shift transmission option (*but only for the track).

Just about every piece of hardware can be chosen by the Individual to suit each Individual.

Besides the gearbox, everything from the steering to the brakes to the wheels to the differential can be individualised.

It can be fitted with adjustable power steering or left with the an unaided sytem. It can have air conditioning, and standard or six-piston front brake calipers, and even race ABS.

The range of mechanical choices is almost endless.
