The Dutch sports car specialist has revealed its new range of GTO performance cars that have been developed over the past 30 months in conjunction with Audi quattro GmbH.
The all-new models, weighing just 1543 lbs., are powered by Audi’s five-cylinder, 340 bhp 2.5-liter TFSI engine driving the rear wheels through a five-speed manual. A sub three-second time to 60 mph is predicted with a top speed just shy of 160 mph.
A limited edition run of 25 models is being built first, powered by a 66 lbs. lighter version of the engine with a redesigned intake manifold and a race switch that delivers an additional 60 bhp.
The car is also bigger than its predecessors being nearly 14 inches longer and 6 inches wider. It’s constructed from steel tubular frame with carbon composite panels and a unique one-piece door with integrated hinges that weighs just 34 ounces and, claims Donkervoort, can withstand a 3300 lbs. sideways blow.
The first ‘regular’ versions are expected on European roads starting in 2013 with prices between $131,000 and $196,000 excluding taxes.
