Donkervoort D8 180R

The Donkervoort D8 180R reaches 60 mph in 4.23 s (100 km/h in 4.40 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 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,337th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 8th quickest of the 10 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.

Questions

What is the Donkervoort D8 180R 0-60 time?
The Donkervoort D8 180R reaches 60 mph in 4.23 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,337th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Donkervoort D8 180R quarter mile time?
12.66 s at 110.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.17 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.90 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Donkervoort D8 180R have?
237 bhp and 675 kg, which is 352 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 230 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Donkervoort D8 180R?
Closest here on pace: Caterham R300 Superlight (4.16 s), TVR Tuscan S (4.23 s), Caterham R300 (4.45 s). Each one can be raced against the Donkervoort D8 180R in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
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 2026-10-16. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
