Founded in 1978, Donkervoort is a Dutch niche marque specializing in hand-built, lightweight sports cars. In the late 1990s, it switched engine suppliers by dropping Ford in favor of Audi. Initially, their cars came with a 1.8-liter engine of Ingolstadt origins before upgrading to the bigger 2.5-liter unit in 2011. Now, the low-volume automaker is waving goodbye to Audi engines.
