Donkervoort S8A Engines and Transmissions

The Donkervoort S8A engine is centered around a 2.0-liter gasoline unit, tuned for sharp response rather than outright displacement. In the Roadster configuration, it sends power to the rear wheels through a manual transmission, keeping the driver closely connected to the mechanical action. This setup suits the S8A’s featherweight construction, where moderate output translates into brisk acceleration and agile handling.
