Dutch Delight
Anyone familiar with this Dutch beauty?
It's a Donkervoort, a Dutch handmade car. Used to be a kitcar but since '83 they can only be orderd as a complete cars. And what a car it is! 630 kg + 210 bhp -> 0-60 in a bit more than 4 sec. The fun factor is a 10 on the scale of richter! Under the bonnet is a 5 cilinder Audi engine. In 150, 180 or 210 bhp. My brother in law owns one and he's hard to beat on curvy roads even with my supersport motorcycles....

I like the Donkervoort more than a Super 7 or a Catherham.
Besides the looks... The Super 7 is a bit outdated. The Donkervoort has a better engine, beter suspension, better handling, nicer finish of the interior and better overall performance.... I can tell because we've tried all (Lotus, Caterham, Tiger) before getting a Donkervoort   This is a impression of the new Donkervoort D20. It will be produced with a 2800 cc V6.... :licker:

I see carbon fiber...nice....
Any knockoff of the Super 7 is a beautiful thing, IMO. Didn't someone get a V8 into the Caterham, anyway? The only problems with big engines is they add a lot of weight, caution is the word of the day. And the Audi engines are nice, especially since they can be taken to over 300hp...

Ah the Donkervoort, probably the best S7 kit out there... I first saw these cars a few years ago, and lusted after one before learning I'd never be able to have one in Canada, due to our american crash standards
 Maybe when I make it to Italy I'll get one... to go with my TVR Cerbera and my MB G500... They drive on the right side of the road in Italy, right?

Yes, only England and Japan got it backwards.

Yeah, and the turbo 20 valve 5 cylinder is a torque monster. The last one they made made 258lbft@1950rpm, and held that level of torque through 4500rpm. It made 230hp peak at 5900rpm, and had a redline of 7000rpm. This engine managed to motivate a 3800 lb Audi sedan to 60mph/100kph in under 6 seconds, according to Car&Driver.
Modified, these engines have made 400hp, and over 300lbft. Since the engines are built with 9.3:1 static compression, there is no turbo lag, as the turbo spin very quicky and boost very smoothly from very low RPMs. Anyhow, that would be rather quick for a little Super 7

I couldn't find any info on 5 cylinder DVs, where did you read about them? All the new D8s are using the 1.8t 4 cylinder, and the older ones used a Ford 2.0 liter 4 cylinder.
I will say again, the Audi 2.2 liter 5 cylinder owns.

Eek, I was thinking 300hp and maintaining the beautiful torque curve of the engine... but whoa.
