New Donkervoort F22 Breaks Cover As A 492 HP Supercar That Weighs 750kg | Carscoops carscoops
has taken the wraps off the F22, its first all-new product in more than a decade that effectively replaces the D8 GTO. The supercar is a clean-sheet design with a new chassis, open-wheel styling, an Audi-sourced engine producing 492 hp, and a weight of just 750 kg .
The F22 was named after the daughter of Managing Director Denis Donkervoort born earlier this year. Despite being a new design, it is instantly recognizable as a Donkervoort product thanks to the exposed wheels, the long bonnet, the side-mounted exhaust pipes, and the aggressive styling cues. The rear wheels are better integrated into the body thanks to the wider fenders, improving stance and aerodynamics.
According to the maker, it can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 2.5 seconds, and from 0-200 km/h in 7.5 seconds before reaching a top speed of 290 km/h . More importantly though, Donkervoort claims that the F22 delivers up to 2.15g of lateral acceleration, showing its handling-focused nature. The all-new hybrid chassis is made of tubular steel and ex-core carbon fiber , doubling the torsional and bending rigidity compared to its predecessor, while improving safety. The F22 tips the scales at 750 kg , which makes it 70 kg heavier than the model it replaces. Still, the increased power output gives it an impressive power-to-weight ratio of 666 PS per tonne.
The suspension – double wishbones front and rear – comprises TracTive adaptive shock absorbers and an adjustable hydraulic system raising or lowering the car by up to 35 mm . Braking is taken care of steel discs measuring 330 mm at the front, and 279 mm at the back, with four-piston calipers by AP Racing. Steering can have servo assistance or power assistance according to the preferences of the owner.Production of the Donkervoort F22 will be limited to 75 units, with 50 of them already sold out.
