====Donkervoort D8==== {{main|Donkervoort D8}} ;[[Donkervoort D8]] Zetec (1993-1998) From 1993 the new D8 was built, marking the continuing departure from being merely a Super Seven copy. The first D8s were the last Donkervoorts to receive Ford engines; 1.8 and 2.0-liter versions from the [[Ford Zeta engine|Zetec family]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.donkervoort.nl/cars/d8zetec.htm |title=D8 Zetec 1993 - 1998 |publisher=Donkervoort Cars |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070108174836/http://www.donkervoort.nl/cars/d8zetec.htm |archive-date=January 8, 2007 |url-status=dead}}</ref> Donkervoort offered a "Sport" version that changed to cycle-style front fenders and reduced weight through the use of carbon fibre body parts.<ref name=EarlyGuide/> ;[[Donkervoort D8]] Cosworth (1995-1998) The D8 also was fitted with the 2.0-liter turbocharged [[Cosworth#The YB series|Cosworth ''YB'' engine]] starting in 1995.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.donkervoort.nl/cars/d8cosworth.htm |title=D8 Cosworth 1994 - 1998 |publisher=Donkervoort Cars |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070108205620/http://www.donkervoort.nl/cars/d8cosworth.htm |archive-date=January 8, 2007 |url-status=dead}}</ref> ;[[Donkervoort D8]] Audi (1999–2008) During 1999, Donkervoort switched from Ford to Audi's 20-valve [[Turbocharger|turbocharged]] [[List of Volkswagen Group petrol engines#1.8 20vT|1.8-liter ''R4'' engine]], available in a variety of outputs ranging from {{convert|150|to|245|PS|kW|0|abbr=on}}.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.donkervoort.nl/cars/d8audi.htm |title=D8 Audi (AGU) 1999 - 2002 |publisher=Donkervoort Cars |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070108205056/http://www.donkervoort.nl/cars/d8audi.htm |archive-date=January 8, 2007 |url-status=dead}}</ref> ;[[Donkervoort D8]] Audi (E-gas) Wide Track (2003–2012) Since 2003, the Donkervoort is equipped with the Audi 1.8T 20V E-gas (electronic throttle) turbocharged engine. In the D8, the engine is available with 150 bhp, 180 bhp, 210 bhp and 270 bhp. Thanks to its total weight of {{cvt|630|kg}}, this results in an acceleration time from {{cvt|0|to|100|km/h}} between 3.8 and 5.2 seconds depending on the type. The Wide Track models can be distinguished from earlier Audi-powered models by the front light arrangement. ;[[Donkervoort D8]] 270 (2008–2012) The Donkervoort D8 270 is available since the summer of 2008. This version of the D8 series became the successor of the D8 270 RS, the limited edition that was introduced in 2005 and restricted to 25 numbered units. The D8 270 has a restyled nose and grill that refer directly to the D8 GT and accelerates from 0–100 km/h in 3.6 seconds.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.donkervoort.nl/cars/d8270rs.htm |title=D8 270 RS |publisher=Donkervoort Cars |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070108174355/http://www.donkervoort.nl/cars/d8270rs.htm |archive-date=January 8, 2007 |url-status=dead}}</ref> This car was the seventh fastest production car on [[Nürburgring]]'s famous Nordschleife of 2011, at 7m 14.9s.<ref name=B2G-270RS>{{cite web|url=http://bridgetogantry.com/2/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=178&Itemid=300060|title=Fastest Production Car Lap of the Nurburgring| date=2011-03-18|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120316164510/http://bridgetogantry.com/2/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=178&Itemid=300060 | archive-date = 2012-03-16 | publisher=Bridgetogantry.com}}</ref> ;[[Donkervoort D8]] GT (2007–2012) The Donkervoort D8 GT - introduced in 2007 - is the first closed Donkervoort. Compared to the open version of the D8, the D8 GT has entirely new front and rear suspension, increased track width by 8 centimeters, larger brakes for increased stopping power and 17-inch aluminum wheels. With a total weight of {{cvt|650|kg}}, the D8GT is the lightest GT in the world. This is largely due to the extensive use of [[carbon]] fiber: the entire roof, the entire rear and the doors and fenders of the car are made of this material.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.donkervoort.nl/cars/d8gt.htm |title=D8 GT |publisher=Donkervoort Cars |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080409032619/http://www.donkervoort.nl/cars/d8gt.htm |archive-date=April 9, 2008 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
