The 667bhp/ton F22 has proven more popular than anticipated, with donkervoort expanding the production run once more to 100 units -
Sport’s 2.5-litre five-cylinder turbocharged engine as found in today’s RS3 and TT RS, with 492bhp and 472lb ft of torque, up considerably on the 394bhp and 369lb ft produced by the same engine when used by Audi. A larger turbocharger and a 10.1:1 compression ratio accounts for the bulk of the increases, along with the myriad of updates not least to the ECU. It means the F22 boasts a formidable 667bhp-per-ton power-to-weight ratio.
Drive remains to the rear wheels only, via a TKX five-speed manual gearbox, which saves around 12kg over a six or seven-speed unit, that’s mated to a Torsen limited slip differential. The diff no longer requires an additional oil cooler due to a new housing that’s stronger, lighter and quietens the diff, too. Bosch’s match rev technology is also fitted, although this can be switched off and the five speed’s throw is as short as practicably possible.
Performance is hypercar level quick, with 62mph arriving in 2.5-seconds and 120mph in 7.5, with a 180mph maximum for the brave. As it’s a car designed for the track, but still road legal, it only registers 79db static. Initially only 50 F22s were to be built, but these sold when Donkervoort released some early design sketches. As a result, an additional 25 cars were added to the total, before the marque added 25 more in March 2023 bringing the total to 100. Production began in January 2023, with finals cars now set to roll out of the factory in 2025.
