Donkervoort D10 1990
January 9th, 1990 – A Moment That Marked Automotive History
It is 13:30, the air is cold on this closed section of a belgian highway. The Donkervoort D10, poised to redefine speed, stands ready for its final attempt of the day. After a couple of attempts earlier this morning, this run is our last chance before we need to give the Highway back to normal road users.
As the turbo spools, anticipation mounts. The driver expertly releases the clutch with an unmatched blend of power and precision—a skill honed before traction control was even conceived.
The four-cylinder engine roars, catapulting the D10 forward. In just 3.85 seconds, it hits 100 km/h. Blink once, take four quick steps, snap your fingers—the D10 is already at speed. At this very moment, it becomes the fastest accelerating car in the world, marking a revolutionary leap in sports car performance.
A True Automotive Icon
The Donkervoort D10 isn't merely a car; it's a bold statement of innovation and uncompromised driving pleasure. With its striking aerodynamic shape and iconic windshield-less design, the D10 is unmistakable and unforgettable.
As the first model proudly bearing the "D" badge—honoring Denis Donkervoort, the CEO of Donkervoort Automobielen B.V.—it laid the foundation for all future Donkervoort masterpieces.
An Unparalleled Opportunity
Rarely does a D10 appear on the market, let alone one with such storied history. Now available for discerning enthusiasts, this particular D10 presents a unique chance. The car maintains excellent mechanical health, with all efforts over the past 35 years focused meticulously on performance and reliability.
However, time has gently marked its exterior. Layers of paint have begun peeling, giving you two exciting choices:

-Professional Restoration: Allow us to meticulously return the D10 to its original glory, tailored exactly to your specifications. We already have a detailed restoration quote prepared—just ask.
interior
The interior of the D10 is nothing like the interior of a normal S8AT or D8. The D10’s interior is stripped of unnecessary comforts, revealing raw aluminum panels—every gram saved for maximum performance. Leather accents thoughtfully placed on the doors and transmission tunnel provide just enough comfort for spirited driving. A helmet is more than recommended; it’s required, as driving the D10 feels closer to a superbike experience than any typical car.
Unique touches include silver leather trunk partitions and floor mats, matching the raw aluminum aesthetics—an unmistakable nod to the bold style of the late 80s.
