    Yeah it definitely finds itself in a tricky spot. My main thought in putting it in the GT category was because I was under the impression it was more akin to these X-Bows (http://www.x-bow-battle.at/en/gallery/?year=2016) than the road or X-Bow R version of the car. :)

    As much as i like mixed cars etc , some of the best racing i have ever had has been in single make single class cars .... So i dont think the KTM needs any others with it

    Well, I was waiting for @Christian Göpfert to be the smarty, but it seems he's still in bed.:D
    Actually it is based on a Lotus Super Seven designed by Colin Chapman.;)
    Caterham, beeing a distributer of Lotus, assumed production rights after Lotus stopped the Seven.
    Donkervoort applied modifications to the chassis of a kit car to obtain type approval for dutch streets.
    So Donkervoort as a sports car brand was born.
