it's one of those cars that just describing it to someone, they'd swear it's an unrealistic video game car with a matching unlicensed name to match...
which is what makes it so good!

For some reason it reminds me of no particular Batman movies. Kind of cyberpunkish.

It looks like a Caterham 7 updated.

I feel like there is no way this thing could corner faster than a BAC Mono.
Here is another competitor I found: https://www.autoblog.com/2019/01/21/...egal-race-car/

Did they just say it corners at 2g and launches at 1g with rwd and no actual aero?!? I call BS. Your tires have to be made of superglue, or on a banked corner, and then it's not even lateral G.

I do like the way it looks though, it is more finished looking then the other minimalist cars out there.

Some engineer ran his mouth in front of the marketing department who took it out of context imho. Still a neat car. |

The hilariousness of "Dankervoort" is offset by the stupidness of the awkwardly stiltedly alphanumeric not at all inspiring "D8 GTO-JD70" name.
very cool car tho |

Maybe watch some videos if you don't believe the rediculousness of the Donkervoorts... they are racecars for the road, hypercar in everything but their top speed... they have aero and extremely light weight combined with highly tuned power plant and full adjustment of traction and brake systems... Lotus 7 absolutely pales in comparison:
