It can cover the 0-60mph dash in a neck snapping 2.8 seconds and has a top speed of around 165mph. Donkervoort-D8-GTO-Interior The body of the D8 GTO Blisterberg Edition is made from composite materials such as carbon fiber. Its lighter by as much as 20 pounds over the D8 GTO but has a retuned suspension with Intrax shocks, race clutch, semi slick tyres and upgraded anti-roll bars in additon to lightweight carpets and carbon fiber bucket seats. Donkervoort-D8-GTO-Profile Cost for the Donkervoort D8 GTO Blisterberg Edition is around the 194,000 euro’s ($240k) mark, only 14 examples will be made.  Donkervoort-D8-GTO-FT
