About the D8 2.0 Cosworth 215

The 1993 Donkervoort D8 2.0 Cosworth 215 is a rear-drive turbocharged coupe of 695 kg with 212 bhp, which works out at 305 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 305 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.94 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 973rd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 7th quickest of the 10 Donkervoorts here. Its 112.5 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 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Donkervoort D8 2.0 Cosworth 215 0-60 time?
The Donkervoort D8 2.0 Cosworth 215 reaches 60 mph in 3.91 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 973rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Donkervoort D8 2.0 Cosworth 215 quarter mile time?
12.42 s at 112.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.00 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.94 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Donkervoort D8 2.0 Cosworth 215 have?
212 bhp and 695 kg, which is 305 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 235 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Donkervoort D8 2.0 Cosworth 215?
Closest here on pace: Wiesmann GT MF4-CS 4.0 V8 420 (3.92 s), Aston Martin Vantage GT8 Mk I (3.90 s), Chevrolet Corvette Z51 C6 (3.89 s). Each one can be raced against the Donkervoort D8 2.0 Cosworth 215 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 2.0 Cosworth 215 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
