Donkervoort has a luxury problem; the demand for the new Donkervoort F22 is much greater than the supply. So the manufacturer from Lelystad has hand over its heart and decided to build more F22s.
Well, that does not mean that the lightweight sports car suddenly rolls off the production line in large numbers. Originally, only seventy-five pieces were to be made. Now there are exactly one hundred.
Donkervoort F22 was quickly sold out
The Donkervoort F22 was unveiled in mid-December and the entire edition was sold out soon after. The first F22s have now been delivered to customers.

According to Donkervoort, the largest demand traditionally comes from Europe, but orders have also been received from the United States (a new market for Donkervoort), the United Arab Emirates and Israel.
Fastest Dutch car ever with 500 hp
The Donkervoort F22 is the fastest Dutch car ever. It has a 500 hp and 640 Nm strong five-cylinder from Audi on board and weighs only 750 kilos. Its top speed is 290 km/h and the sprint to 100 km/h is over in 2.5 seconds.

Donkervoort equips the F22 with a manual five-speed gearbox. Why not a six- or seven-speed transmission? That would make the gearbox 12 kilos heavier.
At the request of customers, especially more space
At the request of customers, Donkervoort has done its utmost to increase the interior space of the F22. Compared to the D8 GTO, the car has become larger and more practical, with a luggage compartment of almost 300 liters.

The F22 is 4 meters long, almost 2 meters wide and only 1.1 meters high. According to Donkervoort, its aluminum and carbon fiber body is twice as stiff as that of the D8 GTO.
Starting price of 245,000 euros, excluding taxes
Incidentally, Donkervoort initially planned to make only fifty F22s, but that number was already increased to seventy-five before the presentation of the model. The starting price of the lightning-fast lightweight is 245,000 euros. Excluding taxes!
