THE 500- HP, FIVE- CYLINDER DONKEVOORT F22 WEIGHS LOWER THAN A MAZDA MIATA.

Donkevoort, a exchange supercar manufacturer in the Netherlands, has just unveiled the F22, its most recent creation. The auto is named after Filippa, the son of Managing Director Denis Donkevoort, who was born on May 22, 2022, contrary to popular belief. 

 

 The2.5- liter, five- cylinder turbo machine set up in the Audi RS3 can be set up under the long hood, but Donkevoort has given it new comportments and reduced disunion overall to ameliorate performance and effectiveness. 

The F22's machine produces 463 power and 472 lb- ft of necklace by dereliction. still, the vehicle can achieve 492 power and 494 lb- ft of necklace with an voluntary exhaust system, which is only permitted for use on the track. That may not feel like a lot, but the thing weight then's only 750 kilograms, or,653 pounds, so extreme performance is guaranteed. The super sports auto has a lattice made of tube sword andEx-Core carbon fiber that's extremely torsionally rigid and light in weight. 

 

 It's estimated that the F22 can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in2.5 seconds and from 0 to 124 mph in7.5 seconds due to its exceptional affair and low weight. Although the auto's straight- line speed is less important than how it'll bear on the track, the estimated top speed is 180 mph. 

 Indeed though the F22 directs all of its power to the hinder bus alone, Donkevoort claims that it'll pull2.15 G in the corners. The F22 is a serious motorist's auto that's designed to attack circuits but can still be enjoyed by beginners on public roads thanks to its five- speed primer transmission and automatic rev- matching that can be turned off( thankfully). Donkevoort chose a five- speed transmission because it weighs at least 26 pounds lower than a six- or seven- speed transmission and takes up less space, allowing the motor to be mounted further back. In addition, the vehicle is equipped with brand-new four- piston AP contending calipers, frontal and hinder, with 330- millimeter discs on 18- inch bus in the front and 279- millimeter discs on 19- inch bus in the reverse. The new Nankang AR1 rubber is used to cover both sets of skirtings. 

 

" It no longer requires an fresh cooling system for concentrated track work," says the new casing for the Torsen limited- slip differential, which is formerly again mounted at the reverse. 

In substance, Donkevoort has examined every aspect of its former vehicles to ameliorate the F22 in every way. This is also apparent in the vehicle's size; the each-new F22 is larger than its D8 precursor and presumably also more comfortable, with further space in the cabin and a carbon fiber Twin Targa roof with a support bar that can be removed. 

 

 This monster should be more tolerable for long drives because it has further length and shoulder room for altitudinous, big motorists. still, the featherlight Recaro seats with" the first six- point harnesses approved for both racing and road use" still give acceptable support. The auto is homologated for trade in Europe, the United States, and the United Arab Emirates, and the company claims that these exclude the need for airbags. 

While we are fastening on the interior, it's important to note that the gusto is now more systematized than ever, with the maturity of controls located on the steering wheel. You can complicate effects if you want to. There's an intertwined iPad Mini infotainment system and a plethora of other customization options. For case, the active suspense not only makes the auto more comfortable to drive and gives it better running on the track, but it also lets you install a lift- raising system that can raise the auto nearly1.2 elevation, keeping it safe from steep driveways and speed bumps. 

 

 A racinganti-lock retardation system, the forenamed pristine sword exhaust system, hotted 

 seats, parking detectors, frontal and hinder cameras( the ultimate of which will really be standard in the United States to meet original homologation conditions), a featherlight air exertion system, forged or carbon fiber bus, a body that's entirely made of carbon, and indeed a carbon undertray are some of the other options. 

There are enough options then to make some Lamborghinis look like they were made in a plant, and the cost adds up. 

 

 The auto will be available for purchase in January 2023, and prices in Europe will start at€,000( roughly$,000) before levies. still, our computations indicate that a completely loaded model could bring as important as€,000(,650) before levies. Ouch.
