Donkervoort has redefined driving purity by doubling the F22's torsional and bending rigidity (compared to the outgoing D8 GTO Individual Series), thanks to a hybrid chassis construction of thin-wall steel tube and Ex-Core carbon-fibre chassis construction.
Under the direction of second-generation Managing Director Denis Donkervoort, the family-owned Dutch boutique brand has created a supercar that breaks new ground in every area, from construction to design.
The heart of the Donkervoort F22 powertrain is the front mid-engined five-cylinder turbocharged engine.
With 500 horsepower from its five-cylinder turbo motor and weighing just 750kg, the innovative Donkervoort F22 combines stunning design, sheer speed, handling purity and everyday usability while retaining links to Donkervoort's historic open-wheel layout.
The heart of the Donkervoort F22 powertrain is the front mid-engined five-cylinder turbocharged engine.
The in-line engine was originally built by Audi Sport, and Donkervoort engineers have tuned it for even more power, torque and low-end drivability.
Donkervoort also proved that the 2.5-litre engine still had more efficiency, even with a boost in power. The F22 has a homologated WLTP combined emissions figure of 163 grams of CO2 per kilometre - 28 fewer than its 695kg predecessor.
The central bar can be detached via an electronically powered button, as can the single-piece, front- hinged bonnet.
The F22 supercar is capable of hitting 2.15G of lateral acceleration while remaining the lightest road- registered, two-seat supercar in the world.
Most switches move to the steering wheel, while the cleaner dash design features an optional integrated iPad Mini infotainment system.
The two-door F22 has a significantly larger cabin, with the extra 80mm of shoulder width and 100mm of cabin length almost all given over the, creating a more comfortable interior.
Beyond that, even the smallest detail of the F22 can be customised, from one-off paintwork and interior design to embossing the owner's initials or business logo into the seat trims.
