- P24 RS will come in 400 hp, 500 hp, and 600 hp versions.
- Carbon fiber build keeps weight at just 780 kg or 1,719 lb.
- Limited to 150 units globally, priced from €298K or $325K.
Dutch automaker Donkervoort has pulled the wraps off its most daring creation yet, the P24 RS. Introduced as the successor to the F22, which received its final update in late 2024, the P24 RS arrives with an aggressive spec sheet. Production will be limited to only 150 units worldwide, with pricing starting at €298,500, or roughly $353,900 at current exchange rates.

For years, Donkervoort stuck with modified versions of Audi’s much-loved 2.5-liter turbocharged five-cylinder. The P24 RS, however, marks a sharp departure. Under its vented hood sits Ford’s twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, the same found in the older Ford GT and the Raptor.
It’s offered in three power outputs: 400 hp, 500 hp, and a range-topping 600 hp. Torque tops out at 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) in the most powerful version. That’s a significant step up in output, considering the previous Donkervoort F22 topped out at 500 hp using Audi’s five-cylinder.
The engine features dry-sump lubrication, variable valve timing, and a mix of direct and indirect fuel injection for optimal efficiency and response. Its intake system is built from carbon fiber, while the exhaust manifolds are 3D-printed, showcasing Donkervoort’s usual focus on low weight and high strength. Boost comes from a pair of turbos supplied by Dutch firm Van der Lee, running at 17 psi.
Interestingly, the car uses a five-speed manual gearbox placed in the middle, an unconventional choice these days, but it does include rev-matching. Power goes to the rear wheels through a Torsen limited-slip differential.
And oh, power steering and even ABS are optional.
Lightness Still Leads
As with all Donkervoort models, the P24 RS prioritizes lightness. It tips the scales at just 780 kg (1,719 lbs) dry, giving it a fierce 770 hp per tonne power-to-weight ratio. While Donkervoort hasn’t disclosed its 0–100 km/h (62mph) time, it claims the car needs only 7.4 seconds to reach 200 km/h (124 mph) and will top out above 300 km/h (186 mph).

Structurally, the car uses a mix of alloy tubing and carbon fiber components. As with Donkervoort’s earlier models, agility takes priority over brute speed in a straight line. Suspension duties are handled by Tractive active dampers at all four corners, paired with a hydraulically adjustable ride-height system offering multiple stiffness settings. Braking comes from four-piston AP Racing calipers paired with ventilated discs.
Wrapped in Nankang CR-S tires, the P24 RS can generate up to 2.3G in cornering and 1.3G during braking, which should be enough to challenge your sense of spatial awareness. Customers chasing ultimate grip can also spec a larger front splitter and carbon aero fins at the rear.
The interior of the P24 RS is a clean-sheet design. Matte carbon fiber dominates the surfaces, placing all emphasis on the driving experience. There’s a simple three-spoke steering wheel and a small digital gauge cluster, but no built-in infotainment screen. If you want music or maps, you’ll have to use your phone or the included iPad Mini mount instead.
Sales of the P24 RS are already moving quickly, with over 50 of the 150 units spoken for by buyers in Europe, the US, and the Middle East. So if you’re thinking about getting one, you might not want to wait too long.
