Donkervoort S8A Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1985–1993) — First Generation
The Donkervoort S8A is a lightweight, open-top roadster focused on pure driving. Its first generation pairs a compact yet potent powertrain with a manual gearbox, delivering an engaging, no-nonsense experience for enthusiasts.
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.
