Donkervoort Automobielen BV is a manufacturer of hand-built and ultra light weight sports cars based in Lelystad, Netherlands. The car brand was founded in 1978 by Joop Donkervoort.
Donkervoort started the company as a kit car importer in 1978, but upon learning he needed to make significant modifications to make the assembled kit cars street legal, began building the first S7 automobiles using a design derived from the Lotus Seven in a dutch shed in Tienhoven. The first Donkervoort – the S7 – was introduced in 1978. It is an ultra-light weight sports car manufactured between 1978 and 1982.
Donkervoort cars have grown in speed, design and quality with every generation. In 45 years, Donkervoort has created ground-breaking cars, world-beating cars and astonishingly personalized cars. Every car Donkervoort ever made is born with the ethos of light weight, uncompromising design and the strength that only comes with engineering for extreme speed.
