Last weekend the Donkervoort D8 GTO broke the lap record at the German Bilster Berg circuit. The 380 hp Performance version set the new record for street-legal production cars at 1 minute 46.12 seconds.

German driver Maik Rosenberg was first to break the record with a time of 1 minute 47.4. Ultimately, though, it was Denis Donkervoort who claimed the absolute top time of 1:46.12. Donkervoort drove the record for production cars on street-homologated tyres, in wet weather.

The Donkervoort D8 GTO figures an acceleration from 0 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds, a total weight of just 695 kg.
