Since the end of the ’70s builds Donkervoort cars that are focused on driving pleasure. The family business is almost the opposite of Spyker; never great stories, always stiff, continue with great cars to build. What’s going on in Lelystad?

The D10 was great, the D8 GTO is brilliant, but the most beautiful Donkervoort is Amber, the daughter of founder Joop. One of the few frivolities that the serious car builder has ever afforded, was that he was one of his models S8A called. Council but where A stands for… And because we wonder how the Dutch automotive industry goes, we had once again a good reason for Amber to call. “We have nothing to complain about with 2015, we have three special editions released and we also have a branch in Düsseldorf opened. In addition, we have many events, including the Mille Miglia and the Schloss Dyck.’ About 2016, she is still a bit mysterious. ‘The new year is a beautiful year with lots of news, but more can I not say about it. Just a few more weeks of patience!’

Now is that news is at least partially unveiled, because on 3 February showed Donkervoort is a teaser for the line-up for 2016. That is in addition to the D8 GTO from donkervoort D8 GTO, donkervoort D8 GTO-RS and the D8 GTO-R. Further details are still missing, but we know that’s more on comfort will be focused (although the S for Sport) and the R (which stands for Racing) is not straatlegaal. And the RS? What are the ambitions entail, we leave to your own imagination.” You can still have a few months of fantasizing, because the delivery of the limited edition of 40 pieces begins in June.

Of course, we also want to still know how exclusive of a Donkervoort is exactly. According to the figures in 2015 only two Donkervoorts number plate, just like in 2014. That means that you with a Donkervoort is a much more exclusive car than a Lotus (4), Lamborghini (8), Rolls-Royce (8), Aston Martin (11), Ferrari (29), or Bentley (35). “But there is, of course, more than the Dutch market only,’ fill in Amber. “In total we have about 25 cars sold in 2015.’
