'''DDR Motorsport''' was founded in 2001 by Diego Grullón as a small business to produce a sports car called the DDR. The DDR was conceived by Diego, as a result of dissatisfaction with the incredible expensive prices of most sports cars on the market. The business began in their home country of [[Dominican Republic]], but they are currently located in [[Fort Lauderdale]], [[Florida]].

Diego designed the chassis, and body style after many of the GT Racing cars he had studied throughout his career in the motorsports industry. The vehicle currently demonstrated by DDR Motorsport powered by a [[Toyota MR2]] 3SGTE engine. This version of the DDR is named the DDR SP4 "Sport Prototype 4 Cylinder".

A second model, the DDR SP8 was announced in 2007. This model is planned to be powered by the GM LS-series engine, and will use a Porsche G50 or Audi 5000 transaxle. Anticipated weight is only {{convert|100|lb|abbr=on}} heavier than the SP4 model, and should have a significantly higher [[power-to-weight ratio]].

The DDR SP4 is being distributed as a full [[kit car]], while the SP8 will be delivered to a customer as a [[rolling chassis]] with only the engine and transmission left for the customer to purchase and install. The DDR Motorsport website currently has pricing for the SP4 and SP8, at $24,000 and $35,000, respectively.
