D8 GTO Bilster Berg Edition
In September 2014, the D8 GTO Performance on the Bilster Berg in Pömbsen was able to set a new lap record for production cars with road approval with 1 minute and 46.12 seconds. On the occasion of this achievement Doonkervoort presented the special model D8 GTO Bilster Berg Edition , limited to 14 copies . This was available from 194,000 euros.
D8 GTO-RS
The special model D8 GTO-RS , limited to 40 copies, has been available since summer 2016 . This has a new wheel suspension and a wider track on the front axle. The braking system has also been improved. The GTO-RS accelerates to 100 km / h in 2.7 seconds, and Donkervoort has a top speed of 280 km / h. The basic price for the market launch in Germany was 179,896 euros.
D8 GTO-40
In May 2018 Donkervoort presented the D8 GTO-40 , which is to be built forty times on the occasion of the company's 40th anniversary. With a curb weight of 678 kg, the special model is the lightest model in the series.
D8 GTO-JD70
On the occasion of the 70th birthday of the company's founder Joop Donkervoort, the company presented the special model D8 GTO-JD70 limited to 70 copies in June 2020 . Thanks to the new exhaust system layout, in which the exhaust ends on the right-hand side in front of the rear wheels, and the elimination of the rear tailpipes, a new diffuser could be installed at the rear, which provides an additional 800 Newton more downforce. The new air outlets in the front fenders allow the incoming air to escape in a controlled manner. This enabled a further 500 Newtons of downforce to be generated. With these measures, the GTO-JD70 should achieve a maximum lateral acceleration of 2 g when cornering . The GTO-JD70 accelerates to 100 km / h in 2.7 seconds, and the manufacturer specifies a top speed of 280 km / h.
