Filippa 22, or the name of the Dutch brand boss daughter and the day and year of her birth (May 22, 2022). Let’s call it F22 then, also known as the ultimate sports car according to Donkervoort, capable of evolving, still keeping intact its line of thought and the style that has always distinguished the cars of the company. The power becomes more and more serious, in fact we find a 5-cylinder turbo (the same of the Audi RS3) which with the necessary precautions delivers – as standard – 463 horsepower. However, it is possible to act on the exhaust system and reach 492 horsepower, but this option will only be legal for track use.

Extreme numbers, considering that the car weighs just 750 kg and that despite having more generous dimensions than, for example a Caterham, it is able to guarantee a high degree of driving involvement, also because it boasts a 5-speed manual transmission. Traction only at the rear with self-locking diff and a torsional rigidity that helps to keep it flat and pressed to the ground through corners, while as far as pure performance, we are talking about just 2.5 seconds for the 0-100 kph and 7.5 seconds to reach 200 per hour.

Finally, there is a multitude of individualization possibilities, including an integrated iPad Mini, through which to make the F22 looks like a daily, if you decide to use it for the home to office commute. What is certain will be the huge smile drawn on your face. Prices start at around €245,000 and can reach €440,000, ticking everything off the list. An exceptional tribute that in part recalls that of Lotus with its Elise. Who knows if Filippa is about to bring the same love to driving fanatics.
