Donkervoort D8 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2001–2007) — First Generation
The first-generation Donkervoort D8 is a Dutch-built Roadster for drivers who want an open, no-nonsense sports car. This generation keeps things simple: a light body and a focus on how the car feels rather than extra equipment.
The Donkervoort D8 engine in this generation is a compact petrol unit that keeps the Roadster light and direct. Selected versions such as the Audi E-gas 1.8 MT, RS 1.8 MT and Audi AGU 1.8 MT share a simple powertrain: a manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, so you shift and the drivetrain feeds the rear axle.
