Donkervoort D8

The Donkervoort D8 is a series of ultra-light weight sports cars manufactured by Dutch car manufacturer Donkervoort in Lelystad, Netherlands since 1993. They have been produced in several variants, starting with the original Donkervoort D8 Zetec , which used engines made by Ford; since 1999, the cars have used engines built by German automobile manufacturer Audi.
The Donkervoort D8 Zetec Classic replaced the Donkervoort S8AT in 1993; while the S8AT used a turbocharged OHC 2. 0L Ford engine, the D8 Zetec used the recently introduced Ford Zetec engine. In 1994, the Zetec Sport was introduced, with weight reduced by swapping some metal body parts for carbon fibre, downsizing the battery, and replacing the cast iron clutch housing with an aluminum equivalent. Externally, the Classic can be distinguished by the traditional long front fenders which extend from the front wheel to the forward edge of the doors, while the Sport is equipped with cycle fenders covering just the front wheels....
