Friday 3/14/2025)
The P24 RS
The family-owned Dutch car manufacturer Donkervoort has officially named its upcoming supercar: the Donkervoort P24 RS.
Managing Director Denis Donkervoort revealed the name of the F22’s successor, a supercar shaped by groundbreaking engineering and design innovations.
Honouring Donkervoort’s family-inspired naming tradition, the P24 RS follows in the footsteps of the F22. The F22—named after Denis Donkervoort’s first child, Filippa, and her birth year, 2022—marked a bold milestone for the brand. Now, the P24 RS continues that legacy, bearing the name of his second child, Phébe, born in 2024.

A Tribute To Performance
The P24 RS not only drives the Donkervoort legacy forward but also pays homage to the legendary D8 270 RS. In 2006, the D8 270 RS shattered Porsche’s dominance at the Nürburgring, setting a groundbreaking production car lap record and firmly establishing Donkervoort among the world’s elite performance marques.
With its pedigree and engineering prowess, the P24 RS may well be destined for record-breaking glory once again.
The F22 and the P24 RS are sister cars, each brimming with its own distinct character—each with a heart that beats to its own rhythm. Yet, both remain true to Donkervoort’s Living the Drive ethos.
“Both have been engineered with driver enjoyment and engagement at their core. Both are born from an obsession with lightweight construction—but the P24 RS will push the F22’s performance even further.”
“There are records waiting to be broken, and the P24 RS has the speed to do it. But it also has the potential to redefine what customer service and customisation mean,” he said.
A Legacy of Family and Performance
Naming new models after family members is a long-standing Donkervoort tradition, now that the brand is nearing its 50th anniversary. The S8A was named after Denis’ sister, Amber, while the iconic D10—holder of the world acceleration record—was named after the equally fast Denis himself.
And as for the question everyone is thinking?
“Yes, it’s been asked. If he’ll answer it, though… that’s another matter entirely.”
