Donkervoort D8 GTO-RS 2017
This is not “a” GTO-RS. This is the GTO-RS — the actual car that introduced the model to the world. In Donkervoort terms, it’s a milestone on wheels: the moment the brand revealed a new chapter of its engineering, design language, and second-generation GTO performance. Finished in the unmistakable Acid Green, it remains as arresting today as it was when it first stepped into the spotlight.
The GTO-RS didn’t arrive as a minor update — it represented a flagship-level evolution. With a complete body redesign focused on aerodynamics and stability, and a cabin that moved the brand forward in perceived quality and usability, the RS marked a clear shift: more downforce, more composure, more sophistication — without losing the raw, mechanical Donkervoort character.
This car embodies that turning point. It’s the reference car that shaped first impressions, set expectations, and announced what the “RS” badge meant.
Underneath the Acid Green statement is the engineering that made the RS such a leap:
-415 bhp, delivering the intensity you expect, with a sharper sense of control
-A widened front chassis for increased stability and confidence at speed
-A suspension philosophy aimed at high downforce performance while remaining usable on real roads
It carries the kind of specification that showcased the RS at its best:
-Differential cooling
-Racing ABS
-RS traction control system
Fresh from a full factory service, it now sits on a brand-new set of semi-slick tyres. The gearbox has also undergone a complete revision, upgraded to the latest specification.
While the car is in excellent mechanical condition, a few exterior panels would benefit from some light cosmetic refinement. Get in touch with us to discuss the options and tailor this GTO-RS to your perfect specification.
interior
The cabin reflects the RS’s role as a more complete, more mature Donkervoort. Grey Alcantara brightens the interior and elevates the ambience, while the black package adds cohesion through anodised aluminium details. The finishing touch is beautifully deliberate: seatbelts stitched in green, mirroring the Acid Green exterior.
A landmark detail for collectors and enthusiasts: this car was the first to introduce the carbon tunnel, a signature RS element that became a defining feature in the model’s evolution.
Practical upgrades also underline how the RS moved the game on:
-proper door armrests
-a more refined tunnel cover
-integrated steering wheel controls that make the car feel more intuitive and complete
