The Donkervoort P24 is the latest model from the Dutch sports car maker. Expected to debut in December, the P24 will also be available in a high-performance ‘RS’ version.
Today, we’re going to focus on the P24 RS, as we have heard a few interesting things about it. We’ve been told that Donkervoort is targeting a power-to-weight ratio of 1:1. The engine itself is believed to be a compact V6 with dry sump lubrication, producing 700 hp. The kerb weight of the RS is said to be approximately 700 kg.
As a build-up to the launch of the new Donkervoort P24, the company has shared a couple of videos, talking about its design and aerodynamics. The nose, underfloor and diffuser have been reworked for cleaner flow, sharper balance and more controlled downforce.
“Every millimetre of the bonnet has been designed to let more air in and more air out again,” Jordi Wiersma, Design Lead, explained. “We moved the exhaust tips from the back to the side because they can help us with airflow around the front wheels. Better aerodynamics are free, weightless horsepower.”
