"The newly unveiled car is ultra-agile thanks to the weight reduction achieved by shaving off components like the skid-control, torque-vectoring, or automatic brake-assist. It doesn't even have power steering, and gives buyers the option to skip the air conditioning unit for weight reduction, making it the ideal fit for raw purists who want to feel every little change happening in the driving dynamics."
"The performance car packs a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine delivering 600 horsepower and 590 pound-feet torque. The power-to-weight ratio is high, given the car weighs 2,204 pounds, literally making it a road-legal race car on the streets. The driver can toggle the horsepower via the Power to Choose technology with three different outputs: 00, 500, or 600hp. That means 770hp per ton power-to-weight ratio at the highest settings, something similar to the mighty Bugatti Chiron."
"Body components of the P24 RS are made out of carbon fiber and the in-house developed Ex-Core material, which is a combination of foam and carbon fiber. That explains the uniquely shaped body panels that are more flexible yet highly durable to take on the stresses at high speeds. Purists can attach two wings at the rear and a deep front spoiler to enable 198 pounds of downforce at speeds of 155 mph to keep the car"
Donkervoort's P24 RS is a two-seater analogue supercar with a long hood and exposed wheels, built for extreme driving purity. The car removes electronic aids such as skid-control, torque-vectoring, and automatic brake-assist, omits power steering, and offers the option to skip air conditioning to reduce mass. A 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 delivers 600 horsepower and 590 lb-ft, with selectable outputs of 00, 500, or 600hp via Power to Choose. Curb weight is 2,204 pounds, producing about 770 hp per ton at maximum output. Bodywork uses carbon fiber and an in-house Ex-Core foam-carbon material, and optional aero delivers up to 198 pounds of downforce at 155 mph.
