Donkervoort Launches F22 Supercar: Lightest Road-Legal, Faster Than Predecessor

Donkervoort has unveiled the limited-edition F22 supercar, the lightest road-legal supercar in the world, promising blistering performance, lower fuel consumption, and innovations in weight and chassis design.

Weight
under 800 kg
Lateral acceleration
2.3 g
Chassis rigidity
more than double D8 GTO

What Happened

The Donkervoort F22 is an all-new two-door, two-seat supercar that breaks from tradition by being the lightest road-legal supercar in the world. It weighs considerably less than 800 kg despite being larger than its predecessor, the D8 GTO, and having more than double the chassis rigidity. The F22 was designed in-house over five years and incorporates rakish new lines while hinting at classic Donkervoort models.

“The F22 is first and foremost a road car, and we have prioritised driver engagement, progressive handling and driving fun over an absolute obsession with lap times - and will still be capable of very fast lap times. The reason for all of this, and its low emissions and sustainability, is so simple. It’s weight.”
— Denis Donkervoort, Managing Director of Donkervoort
Lateral Acceleration

2.3 gg

Achieved at Circuit Zandvoort, exceeding the D8 GTO-JD70’s 2.1 g benchmark.

Key Features
  • New manual gearbox with rev matching and flat-shifting
  • All-new active suspension system
  • Patented Ex-Core carbon fiber technology
  • Innovative roof design and rear wing sketches

Why this matters

The F22 shows that lightweight engineering and driver engagement remain central to supercar design while also improving fuel efficiency and emissions, marking a new chapter for the Dutch automaker.
