What Happened

Donkervoort Automobielen is expanding to the United States for the first time, driven by relentless demand from American supercar fans. The Dutch manufacturer has set aside production from its two-year European waiting list to supply US customers. The first model available will be the D8 GTO Individual Series, priced from $240,000 (plus options, taxes, and fees). The first car will arrive at Naples Motorsports in Naples, Florida, with two more headed to Colorado and California.

American supercar enthusiasts can’t wait for Donkervoort cars to arrive, and there is already a surprising amount of interest in the US. Inquiries from the US rank second behind only Europe, despite our supercars never being sold there, so we know enthusiasts in the United States are aware of what Donkervoort delivers.
Denis Donkervoort, Managing Director of Donkervoort Automobielen
Initial US locations
  • Naples Motorsports, Naples, Florida
  • Colorado

The D8 GTO Individual Series weighs less than 1,500 lb and produces over 400 hp from a 2.5-liter Audi Sport turbo engine.

Why this matters

Donkervoort's US debut brings its hand-built, ultra-lightweight performance cars to American enthusiasts, tapping into strong demand despite never having sold there before.
