Roadster · 1978–1982
S8

The S8 family — four variants spanning 1983–1994 — widened the chassis, added fuel injection, and introduced a turbocharged option producing up to 170 hp.

Roadster · 1983–1994
D8

The D8 line (1993–2012) bridged Ford and Audi power, culminating in the 270 hp D8 GT and a Nürburgring lap record, before the GTO generation succeeded it.

Roadster · 1993–2012
D8 GTO

The D8 GTO (2013–2022) — an all-carbon-fibre body, Audi's five-cylinder 2.5 TFSI, and 0–100 km/h in 2.8 s — became Donkervoort's definitive model.

Roadster · 2013–2022
F22

The F22 (2022–2025) — Donkervoort's first fully in-house design — packed 500 hp into 750 kg via a carbon-fibre monocoque and a reworked Audi inline-five.
