Donkervoort D10
Car of the Day #159: 1988 Donkervoort D10

If comics have taught me anything, it’s that superheros require super suits.
Think of the Donkervoort D10 not as a sports or super car, consider it as a super suit — yes, a matching helmet was a standard feature.
When I was a superhero-loving kid, my three most beloved objects for going faster than I could run were as follows: my pedal car, that I burned the plastic tires off of; my bicycle, that I used to ride around in circles pretending to be Alain Prost; and my snow sled: it had a single pop-up headlight and steering wheel, and was much lower to the ground than those silly GT Snow Racers.
All of those? Red.

Had I known it exists, the Donkervoort D10 might have been my choice of car through childhood (best car bed?); in adulthood, it makes a strong case for itself also.
Ever wonder how the Red Ranger commuted to his Dinozoid? Likely a D10. Like my favourite childhood toys, the D10 does only one thing, and that's to haul ass.
Now? I’ll take mine in blue. (See below…)
