The new Donkervoort F22 is a super lightweight road-going beast

This is the new Donkervoort F22 and it’s a super lightweight, super fun road-going beast. 

With the brand-new F22, the Dutch marque says it’s destroying the modern supercar rulebook. 

For starters, it breaks the 2g barrier with a claimed 2.15g of lateral acceleration.

Weighing just 750 kg (1653 lbs) and producing 500 hp, the rear-drive F22 delivers a crazy power-to-weight ratio of 666 hp per tonne. 

Power 

Let’s get straight into it. 

The F22 can go from 0-100km/h (0-62mph) in just 2.5 seconds.

It can reach 200km/h (124mph) in 7.5 seconds and has a top speed of 290km/h (180mph).

Donkervoort says it chose to avoid adding the extra weight of a hybrid or electric powertrain.

In fact, when designing this supercar, almost every decision was made with weight in mind.

Design 

The long, narrow chassis wears a super lightweight carbon fiber body with aggressive-looking cuts running down the side 

At the front, it has a huge air intake and at the back, a massive rear diffuser. 

And most notably, it has a removable carbon fiber roof – giving its driver the best of both worlds.

The supercar is four meters long, 1.9 meters wide and 1.1 meters high – making it longer, wider and taller than its predecessor. 

And while it may resemble the D8 GTO, the two cars don’t share a single nut, bolt or body panel.

Donkervoort says the F22 was “the most driver-focused supercar money can buy”. 

It says buyers can customize the car within an inch of its life – from the steering system to the air conditioning and the exterior paint work. 

Donkervoort initially said it would produce 50 units of the F22 but it has now commited to a production run of 75 units.

Donkervoort F22 price

The F22 is priced at roughly $260,000 USD. 

The F22 is actually named after CEO Denis Donkervoort’s first daughter, Filippa who was born on May 22 this year.
