After extensive testing the prototype was eventually retired and has since found a second life as the electric racecar.

Taking everything learned from the dp1 prototype, Dennis formed Palatov Motorsport in 2008 to manufacture lightweight track and racing cars.

[12] The D1[13] development continued with improved bodywork for aerodynamics and downforce and for the powertrain utilizing the American small displacement, compact and lightweight, high revving, double overhead cam 430 hp Hartley V8 engine available either naturally aspirated or with forced-induction.

[15] With a proprietary AWD system, extreme light weight and 1,000 hp per metric ton the D1 will be the flagship of the Palatov Motorsport product lineup.

The production V8 version is intended for skilled and experienced track drivers who can make use of its potential.
