Introducing the Donkervoort F22 Limited Edition

Unique ONES Has anyone ever heard of a car manufacturer from the Netherlands, Donkervoort? Recently, the manufacturer officially launched its newest generation of supercar, namely the Donkervoort F22, which is intended as a replacement for the previous company supercar, namely the Donkervoort D8 GTO, which has been produced for more than ten years.

Donkervoort F22 is actually named after CEO Denis Donkervoort's eldest daughter, Filippa, who was born on May 22, 2022.. (Picture from: BlackXperience)

Mechanically, the F22 is powered by a 2.5 liter five-cylinder turbocharged engine that can churn out 493 bhp of power that's considered a huge output for such of car that weighs only 750 kg. This engine is paired with a manual transmission system equipped with a rev-matching feature to regulate engine speed, as well as a Torsen's limited slip differential to handle the boost of power generated by this supercar.

Not only that, Donkervoort also implements a multi-step traction-control system capable to adjust the level of traction desired by the driver. The automaker company itself has not announced the performance figures of the Donkervoort F22. Nonetheless, the supercar has a power-to-weight ratio of 666 bhp and a top speed of over 180 mph.

The interior has a small digital display for instrumentation and there are only a few buttons around the shifter for managing various systems including an optional integrated iPad infotainment system. (Picture from: BlackXperience)

For matters of features, the Donkervoort F22 is equipped with a tubular steel and carbon fiber chassis wrapped in an aggressive-looking bodywork. On the inside, the Donkervoort F22 uses special Recaro seats and six-point seat belts that the automaker says can be used on track and road.

Apart from that, Donkervoort has equipped its new supercar with a targa roof and butterfly-style doors which make the supercar's visuals even more dramatic. At launch Donkervoort is rumored to be producing 50 units of the Donkervoort F22 supercar to start with, it turns out that before the launch time all production plans have been commissioned by the customers.

Because that's the Lelystad-based automaker increased production numbers to 75 units with the first units of its supercar launching in January 2023. And until the time came for the launch of the entire production plan of 75 units of the Donkervoort F22 has been ordered. 

If this is the case, will the manufacturer from the Netherlands increase production by another 25 units to be an even total 100 units? We'll wait and see. There are no details on pricing yet, but when you consider that the D8 GTO model is already priced at around $240,000 plus tax, the Donkervoort F22 certainly won't be priced any lower than that. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | DONKERVOORT | ID.MOTOR1 ]
