Only 70 of these road-legal go-karts will be built.
Last October, Dutch automaker Donkervoort teased us with renderings of its new road-legal D8 GTO JD70. It seems like a lifetime ago, but now the actual car is alive and kicking, and all indications point to this being a serious go-kart with face-warping capability. And we mean that literally.
Donkervoort calls this version of the D8 GTO "the first 2G super sports car." In this case, that’s not talking about wireless download speeds, but gravitational forces. The D8 GTO JD70 is capable of exceeding 2G of lateral acceleration in hard cornering, and it achieves that herculean level of grip on its standard-issue road tyres. Admittedly, the stock tyres are Nankang AR-1 competition-spec rubber, but they are road legal and it’s not like this is a car you’re going to daily-drive through rain and snow.
