Why is everybody calling this car the Donkey?

As "Donkervoort" is a Dutch name, it has nothing to do with a donkey. The Dutch word for donkey is "ezel".

In fact, "donker" means dark, and "voort" can be translated as forward. In this way, "Donkervoort" literally translates to DarkForward. I think that is a better name for this car, it sounds way more impressive.
