Description
Donkervoort D8 360RS, extremely fast and unique, originally built in 2002 and professionally converted into a true driver's car developing 360 bhp. With only 40, 000 miles on the clock, this car is in exceptional condition. It is presented in its original colour Gentian Blue, equipped with original fixed doors, a Mercedes canvas tonneau roof and 17-inch three-piece BBS wheels. Thanks to its widened front and rear arches, the car benefits from a wider track and improved grip. The chassis sits on a Bilstein fully adjustable coilover kit, allowing precise adjustment of ride height and damping – ideal for both road and track days.
The interior is bespoke in blue leather and Alcantara, entirely handmade by the former Spyker upholsterer. The cabin exudes competition: sport Alcantara steering wheel, 4-point harness and mechanical sequential gearbox provide a pure, direct driving experience, with no electronic assistance. Technically, the car is fitted with a professionally prepared 1. 8L turbo Audi engine tuned to 360 horsepower. The mechanical sequential gearbox allows ultra-fast gear changes, without an H-pattern.
Donkervoort, Dutch sports car maker, designs extremely light and fast vehicles, directly inspired by racing. For driving pleasure and optimal performance, Donkervoort often selects Drenth sequential gearboxes, because they:
- offer ultra-fast and precise gear changes
- are light, contributing to overall performance
- are robust and suited to intensive track use
- fit easily to small sporting chassis
These transmissions are specifically tuned to the requirements of Donkervoort cars, whose compactness and responsiveness perfectly align with the philosophy of these lightweight supercars.
For maximum braking, even during track use, the car is fitted with AP Racing brakes. Tow hooks at the front and rear make it an ideal car for track days. Despite this race-oriented equipment, the car remains fully type-approved for road use and ready to tackle the circuit.
A Donkervoort is already rare, but a D8 in this condition, with such performance and finish, represents a unique opportunity for a true enthusiast or collector. This car combines the raw, analogue character of a classic sports car with the performance level of a modern supercar.
