Donkervoort D8 210 2000
This D8 AGU still looks like it comes from the future, even though it rolled out of the Donkervoort factory 23 years ago! The timeless design of the D8 is still the peak open-wheel roadster design of its era and, many think, of all time.
The D8 AGU was the first Donkervoort model to use an Audi engine, with this classic developing 210 horsepower. It didn’t just get a straight-line performance boost, either, because it also used a wide-track front axle for increased cornering prowess, making it a proper sportscar even by today's standards.
This D8 shows some marks of time but it is still in excellent technical and visual condition. The previous owner took very good care of the car after he acquired it in 2011.
The grey colour, with shades of blue, fits the futuristic design of the D8 perfectly and the black and blue parts bring enough contrast to make it a very well balanced specification.
The car comes with a six-month factory warranty and a Certificate of Authenticity.
interior
The first generation AGU interior mixes speed with elegance, thanks to different shades of blue, and it was upgraded with white Donkervoort instruments. The instruments are highlighted by the exposed carbon dashboard for added interior sportiness.
The sport seats mix Alcantara for all-weather comfort and leather lateral bolstering.
The car is equipped with three-point seatbelts but can be upgraded on demand to six-point harnesses.

This D8 is a very interesting combination. The D8 AGU engine is known for its very responsive cable-operated throttle, and flexibility. The wide-track front axle brings that extra stability that makes the D8 drive feel so unique. With 210hp, it has all the power you need for road driving.
This is a fairly low mileage D8 AGU, with only 45,000 km on the clock. It’s now 23 years old, so it drove an average of less than 2,000km a year.
At Donkervoort, we offer complete customization possibilities to make this car feel even more like your very own. With a refreshed interior, for example, this car could very well become the ultimate D8 AGU.
