Donkervoort D8 180R

The Donkervoort D8 180R reaches 60 mph in 4.23 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.66 s, tripping the lights at 110.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.90 s and the eighth mile in 8.17 s, reaching 100 mph in 10.38 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the D8 180R

The 2001 Donkervoort D8 180R is a rear-drive turbocharged car of 675 kg with 237 bhp, which works out at 352 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 352 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.90 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 933rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 4th quickest of the 4 Donkervoorts here. Its 110.0 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Donkervoort D8 180R is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-09-01. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
