380bhp in a "car" that weighs less than 700kgs?!? WTF... for a street-car, that's some SUICIDAL power right there. 2.8secs, 0-62mph. That's Veyron/Chiron territory! Amazing. KTM X-Bow, Ariel Atom, etc, step aside please!!!
step aside... lol. the Ariel wastes this on track. its too nose heavy. its a silly price once optioned up as well... its why you never see them out on track, anywhere - ever.
I've worked with a former Donkervoort employee on a very cool project, he and his former collegae tried to start their own company with tube chassis street racers. They bought an Ultima GTR chassis and mounted an Audi RS4 2.4l Twin Turbo engine in it where a standard Ultima uses a V8. The project got featured in a big car magazine and i already started to think that i could get a job but soon after the car was finished both engineers had a different vision and that was the end. I'm still sad that it never went on... I think Vicky would have loved that beast, i would have loved to see her driving it, with me next to her :P
Reminds me of the early MOTOGP 500 cc motorcycles. Massive power without any rider assistance and purpose built for power, speed and FUN..My absolute favorite car
So, who demands driver/rider aids to control vehicles. The people that want to possess them yet cannot handle them, also the financial desire for makers to sell to the above. There was a time when supercars were owned my racing drivers plus the talented few. Nowadays supercars are expected to be docile driving to the golf/country club & Michelin 3 star restaurant.
I usually love watching Vicki do her stuff with a car. It's great to see a woman getting down and dirty with all the foibles of motoring. Unfortunately, and this is a BIG criticism of this particular clip, we never get to actually HEAR the vehicle do its work. The producers are falling for that annoying trend of putting music and extraneous noises over a car on a track, etc. STOP IT NOW! If I wanted to watch a music video I would go elsewhere. As a car enthusiast, I want to hear all the noises the CAR makes. When nervous producers fear they have to 'entertain' an audience with music, they alienate those who come for car information.
At that price, I've got to win Power Ball for sure. These in that Blue color is breathtakingly beautiful. It does need White or a high polished wheel to set off the paint proper. And Vickie is a babe.
+Bob Last of course the real reason is that they can't afford to developed these systems. But it also makes the car a tad lighter too, it's just giving a positive spin on a negative point ;)
Ricardo Hernandez haha, of course... I wanted to put that in my original comment but didn't wanna be labeled a "hater". but given the price of the car, I have a hard time buying the can't afford excuse... more like want a bigger profit margin
Bob Last well im dutch and people should be real, Noble has the same problem and i would have covered it up in the same way if i was boss at Donkervoort. i think the gto would be a great 4th or 5th car and they know that at donkervoort now. they have cheaper more caterham cars too though
HA! ik ben bij het grotere Nederlandse circuit geweest, TT Assen in Assen, waar ik erachter kwam dat de Porsche 550 ervoor kan zorgen dat je trommelvlies explodeert
Kevin, "voort" in English is "ford" (from the same Germanish root). A ford is a stream (of water). So he is right. It is "Darkford" when overset to English.
Lovely Car that it is , aren't you better off getting a Caterham 620 ? Two litre Supercharged . INSTANT throttle response . Same Chassis and lighter . And less money .
+JustAnotherPerson Nope, The prowler is based of Hotrods, this of 1 Lotus 7, from afar they kinda look the same, but when u put them next to each other you'll see there are totally different cars. This is build as a performance car, the Prowler as a Good (ish) looking car. But both really do stand out from the crowd, that's for sure! :)
+TheDaedalx Prowler is based of classic hotrods, This is based on a racing car (lotus 7). Two verry different cars. This car smokes the prowler while in reverse.
Recipe for some of the most amazing cars out there. Taking a great design and paying tribute with a modern reinterpretation. Have you seen cars like the Wiesmann MF5, Eagle Low Drag, Ares Panther or the MAT Stratos? New car designs are just ugly in comparison, and this is how a Super Seven might look today if it was still built. Great tribute to a great car.
"It's got a 2.5 liter engine -- borrowed from Audi..."
"Borrowed"? How do they plan on giving it back?
😂🤣👍🏽

V8 Ariel atom - 500bhp/550kg.
0-60 2.3. Power to weight ratio 900+hp p/t.
step aside... lol. the Ariel wastes this on track. its too nose heavy. its a silly price once optioned up as well... its why you never see them out on track, anywhere - ever.
Not even close to the Atom 3.5R! Awesome handling, unlike ‘‘tis daft thing, and far more power to weight!!
Bugatti is built for high speed but it’s super risky to go 250+mph on public roads anyway
Lolnope
One of my favourite open wheel cars for a long time, I love it in Forza Horizon 2 & great driving Vicki ;)
Didn't knew you watch fifth gear!! :)
Theracerboy101 Yeah I've watched it for years man, I love it :)
***** I love both equally man :)
Donkervoort and Spyker....... Both have different approaches to sensational perfections 👍👍
Crazy beast of a car.
Putting the Netherlands on the Map of Supercars is probably already done by Spyker..
Or?
spy-who??

yeah, especially when it's a turbo 5 cylinder.
+Tim Weston Even more so !!!!!!!!!
+Stephen Woods Totally agree. The same goes for most rally videos on youtube.
So true. The car noise is everything and Vicki is the cherry on the cake 😉
and its a5 cylinder aydi engine!!!!! wtf!! cue the music dumasses
At that price, I've got to win Power Ball for sure. These in that Blue color is breathtakingly beautiful. It does need White or a high polished wheel to set off the paint proper. And Vickie is a babe.
My Donkervoot just went sploosh.
By donkervoot you mean your slashagoordenacht?
LOVE THE CAR,LOVE THE PRESENTER, TOTALLY LOVE THIS SHOW
INCREDIBLE NO WORDS!! BEST LOOKING OPEN WHEEL VEHICLE!! PRETTY MUCH A PROWLER CHOPPED WITH A POWERFUL ENGINE!!
It's the complete opposite of a Prowler.
Fifth Gear needs a new video editor. I was getting dizzy from all the fast cuts.
Donkervoort makes me feel such a proud dutchman.
This is it, this is my dream car
Gorgeous! Vicki that is.
It's beautiful and looks like it's worth every penny.
And so does the car!
The Donkervoort D8 GTO Is a Convertible Racing Car Produced By Dutch Manufacturer Donkervoort Since 2013
Vicky On Fire Sweet Heart Desire.
Atom might be cheaper, but it's a ugly thing. This GTO is a beauty.
TheSillypig especially that hard top race version
Yes, also the carbon fiber monocoque must be much safer
The Zandvoort track record had since been broken by max verstappen
Go Vicki!
that is one of the nicest looking cars i have seen!
What's up with that turtleneck on Vicki? A pearl necklace would go good with that turtleneck.
Great vid. One thing: Zandvoort is NOT the epicentre of motorsport in the Netherlands; it's the TT CIRCUIT ASSEN
It’s not a CF body. The chassis is anwelded tubular steel frame with CF body panels, much cheaper to build otherwise it would’ve cost like 200k.
I’m not sure many people are good enough drivers to survive a trip in this!
I realy like it that holland have maked a realy good race car i am form holland to
+MightyMenno We can tell
dat english though
It's something if you have the power to make 6 grammar mistakes in one single sentence..
Jarmo so...... how’s your Dutch? 😒
cool ride...
2:10 Circuit length : 4.307 KM, that would be the longest circuit ever, would even go trough a couple of countries.
+Minutemadex 4 km
+Minutemadex emperial system switches points and kommas for vectors and decimals
Minutemadex you do realise 4.307km I'd 4307meters still long enough to go through some countries
Haha, you can hardly see Vicki sitting in the Donkervoort with its ultra low seating position xD
the editor must have ADD and thinks we all do too.
Is that massively long engine bay half empty?
how much weight can no ABS really save? the whole system weighs like what, 5lb?
+Bob Last of course the real reason is that they can't afford to developed these systems. But it also makes the car a tad lighter too, it's just giving a positive spin on a negative point ;)
Ricardo Hernandez haha, of course... I wanted to put that in my original comment but didn't wanna be labeled a "hater". but given the price of the car, I have a hard time buying the can't afford excuse... more like want a bigger profit margin

Donkervoort mostly makes custom sevens, if you want abs you can get abs.
Looks like a Ridge Racer car..
Keep the car; I've wanted to marry that woman for years
Trio
And 100k is a big no no
HA! ik ben bij het grotere Nederlandse circuit geweest, TT Assen in Assen, waar ik erachter kwam dat de Porsche 550 ervoor kan zorgen dat je trommelvlies explodeert
200 meter...
Didn't these used to be available as a self build years ago?
No Donkervoort never made self-assembly kit cars
£38.000 for an Ariel Atom 310 ?
Where ?
its a beaut of a car to look at... even though the name does not do it Justice!
A true car on a day when I discover Bentley is axing the venerable Mulsanne.
The Caterham 620R is a fraction of the price.
Gerard Montgomery yes but there are people than can afford it and they don’t care too much
Vicki do you like the Netherlands?
Nice car
The Donkey Wort?
Gosh, VBH is gorgeous.
imprecionante!!
I saw it on forza and bought the car and tested it it looks inc
it is the best and fast car in Asphalt 8 airborne
Where are Donkey Wart now?
Vicki can I get a ride ?
it's acceleration fast as in Asphalt 8 ?
Still no paddle shift system ! DSG should be too heavy for them ?
+bo2web ”olivier” as Would you want a VW Group DSG in you´r 130,000 Car?... i wouldnt
whats wrong with their dsg?
it's a drivers car, why the fuck would you want an automatic gearbox in that type of car. Doesnt make sense....
@@Bobbie_1999 he is probably a laptime guy...
All these stupid name jokes. Properly translated to English it means Darkford, as in Oxford
DolleHengst its the name of the owner and founder: Joop Donkervoord
@dislekt 3.0
correct but that's not what he meant. If you translate Donkervoort to English you get
Darkford. donker=dark voort=ford
Ed Hunter no Because voord is a Dutch word something in a river and donker means dark
Darkford sound cooler.
Kevin, "voort" in English is "ford" (from the same Germanish root). A ford is a stream (of water). So he is right. It is "Darkford" when overset to English.
I have that car in asphalt 8 and I maxxed it out.
Asphalt 8 nice car.
aproved 💪
looks like a modern catheram
Almost killed that bird
It should have more power for that price tag.
The magic is in the weight. Donkervoort has a ot of material patents on light weight material. The last thing it needs is more power.
What the Plymouth Prowler could have been. Or at least tried to be close to.
Lovely Car that it is , aren't you better off getting a Caterham 620 ? Two litre Supercharged .
INSTANT throttle response . Same Chassis and lighter . And less money .
With every fact= the same as the Lotus Seven...
why her voiceover,scene shot and content makes me thought that she edit the video by herself
I just bought this car😏
of course in asphalt 8 🙃
Good
Vicki needed a cushion, or maybe the seat needs adjustment.
No laptime, Vicki??
Didn't Dodge make something like this some years back?
+JustAnotherPerson Nope, The prowler is based of Hotrods, this of 1 Lotus 7, from afar they kinda look the same, but when u put them next to each other you'll see there are totally different cars.

:)
What a horrible looking Caterham. I'll go for the classic, thanks
The position of the driver is so low I actually wondering is she can see anything through the windshield :))
+Vadim Don It's probably made for those oversized Dutch. I remember trying a Mazda, I couldn't fit.
Mega car
Dodge made this car 20 years ago, they called it the Prowler.
+TheDaedalx Prowler is based of classic hotrods, This is based on a racing car (lotus 7). Two verry different cars. This car smokes the prowler while in reverse.
It smokes it while standing still
Donkervoort is dutch and on i think you can ONLY BUY IT IN netherlands
And lots of thing thing
面白いマシン!! 乗れば快適そうなのがチョット残念カモ（汗）

Let me guess... You came here for asphalt 8
👇👇
Did Tiffany Dell ever drive this DongerFart.?
very good joke man😑😒
i never buuy audi skoda vw seat.. why? Ovepppriced and braking nonstop. chepaer car breaks to but it cost less.
Incredible. Nick someone else's design. Nick some one else's engine and form a car company.

Its just a caterham with a audi engine
looks like a slice of a cake or pizza
No airbags
Donkerbollerx more like 100K for that? Westfied V8 was built in 1990s....
I'd rather have an Ariel Atom.
Also 700kg is quite heavy TBH
Gewel ✔ it Goes from 0-100 kph in 2.8 sec, just shut up already
A modern F1 car is heavier you absolute dumbf*ck... 🤣
I think almost a 100 is just to much for this car
Lol the woman who crashed the f355
Who said the dutcies can't make supercars?
9800 pounds = ???? in dollars? Nevermind, I can't afford it.
98000? I can build a garage with all tools I need to build a lotus 7 maybe two if them
No carbon fiber Power steering box? Lol
98k?. Noooo thanks. I can think of a few other cars to buy at this price.
Its an Dutch car
It's a*
It has four wheels. The woman has hair. Next to the track there is grass.
So much music so little engine sound
