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.”
