Donkervoort has begun taking orders for a right-hand-drive (RHD) version of the P24 RS. This is the first time the Dutch company has engineered a right-hand-drive car, which opens up new markets in the UK, Asia, Oceania and Africa, after its expansion into the Middle East and USA.
The RHD engineering is the latest development of the P24 RS, which boasts a PTC variable-output engine and Ex-Core carbon-fiber front subframe. The 600hp P24 RS is now available in RHD markets, including the UK (via Premier GT), Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand.
“We are excited that we can finally show car lovers in RHD markets what Europe, the Middle East and North America have understood for a long time – that Donkervoorts prioritize driver engagement over everything else, making every drive an unforgettable event,” said managing director Denis Donkervoort.
“RHD was an opportunity that came with the P24 RS’s all-new PTC (Power To Choose) engine, and our own research and continuous phone calls and demands from potential customers demonstrated a clear demand for it.
“The Donkervoort philosophy is about putting the driver at the center of everything the car does; from extreme light-weight technology to forgiving suspension setups to the Power To Choose engine and adjustable traction control and suspension setups.”
The P24 RS weighs 780kg dry, using specialized construction to meet safety and emissions requirements. Its PTC engine produces up to 800Nm of torque and can switch between 400hp, 500hp and 600hp outputs.
The car accelerates from 0-200km/h in 7.4 seconds and has a top speed beyond 300km/h, with lateral cornering acceleration of more than 2.3g. It uses a hybrid chassis of welded tubes reinforced with Ex-Core carbon-fiber inserts and measures 4,000mm long with a 2,420mm wheelbase.
