Donkervoort D8 GT 2010
What defines an automotive icon? Is it rarity? Its groundbreaking and controversial design? Perhaps its unmatched performance or its celebrated racing pedigree? Or is it the perfect fusion of all these exceptional qualities?
Ahead of Its Time, Iconic Today
When unveiled in the late 2000s, the Donkervoort D8 GT challenged expectations. With its fully enclosed roof, radical design, and premium pricing compared to the traditional D8 270, the GT initially sparked controversy within the Donkervoort community. Most loyalists craved the open-air experience and hesitated to embrace this forward-thinking design.
Yet, a select group of visionaries saw what others missed—the brilliance and boldness that made the D8 GT utterly unique. These individuals recognized greatness when it was still misunderstood by most.
Nearly two decades later, the perception has dramatically shifted. The D8 GT now stands revered as the ultimate collector's piece—a true gem among Donkervoorts, celebrated for its rarity, timeless design, and outstanding performance.
Exclusive Beyond Comparison
With fewer than 15 examples ever built, the D8 GT is exceptionally rare, enhancing its allure among collectors and enthusiasts alike. Its influence is enduring, clearly reflected in the striking lines of the latest Donkervoort F22—no surprise, given both share the creative touch of Jordi Wiersma, Donkervoort's chief designer, who first penned the GT.
The D8 GT isn't just about striking looks. Its impressive racing record in the GT4 Superlight class demonstrates unequivocally that this masterpiece is as powerful and capable as it is beautiful
A Collector’s Dream
So the GT is the real deal and it is very rare, now that this is established, is there any chance to get one? And if so in what conditions and with which history?
This remarkable D8 GT, owned by a single enthusiast since new, boasts under 2,000 km and an impeccable history—no track time, no accidents. It remains as pristine as the day it rolled out of the factory in 2010.
Opportunities like this come once in a lifetime. Finding a D8 GT in such immaculate, original condition is unprecedented in the world of Donkervoort.
At 650kg, the hardtop Donkervoort won races all over the world, including the Dubai 24 Hour classic, and came with power figures ranging from 132 to 198kW.
Only 15 were ever made, and those that change hands do so for mourned double the original retail price.
A true Donkervoort Icon, the GT also became Ground Zero for Ex-Core carbon-fibre development.

Slide into the cockpit of the D8 GT and two things become immediately clear:
1. It was built to race.
2. It's ready to launch.
The dashboard features precision switches reminiscent of the later D8 270 models, set against a striking carbon fiber backdrop, creating an uncluttered, purposeful environment. The GT introduced elements now iconic in later Donkervoort models—the unique ventilation nozzles and sharp non-circular headlights.
The small windows reveal meticulously crafted details, from custom hinges to specially designed locking mechanisms. Black leather seats and interior trim complement the GT’s sleek, futuristic exterior flawlessly.
