Leave a comment

Dutch ultra-lightweight carmaker Donkervoort has unveiled the last car to be powered by an Audi engine, the Donkervoort F22 Final Five. That doesn’t mean they’re giving up on internal combustion engines, but it’s not known which engines will replace the Audis.

The F22 Final Five is powered by a 2.5-L 5-cylinder engine with 500 hp (368 kW) and 472 lb-ft (640 Nm) of torque, mated to a 5-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. It can reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 2.5 seconds and has a top speed of 290 km/h (180 mph). The same engine powers the current generation Audi RS3, as well as the most powerful version of the retired TT.

It is equipped with a carbon body with removable roof panels, a titanium exhaust system ending in front of the rear right wheel and lighter carbon-ceramic brakes, so it is not surprising that it weighs only 716 kilograms. It is mounted on 18 and 19-inch carbon wheels.

When it comes to price, the Donkervoort F22 Final Five costs 315,000 euros and only 5 units will be produced.

Leave a comment

SAIC is the largest of the “Big Four” state-owned car manufacturers of China, which recently established a sub-brand with the German brand Audi with the intention of producing cars only for the Chinese market. The name of the sub-brand is AUDI and it will offer the best of both worlds, combining German DNA and Chinese innovation.

AUDI will only offer fully electric cars with a focus on what Chinese customers want such as connectivity, automation and performance. That’s why Audi and SAIC created the Advanced Digitized Platform, on which future AUDI cars will be based, the first of which is the AUDI E concept, which debuted in Shanghai.

The AUDI E concept has a minimalist design with thin front lights connected by a thin line, and the same motif continues with the narrow lights at the back. It is slightly larger than the current Audi A6, and in the cockpit, the 4K screen that provides superb connectivity attracts attention.

This concept shows what the future cars of this sub-brand will look like. The plan is to launch three electric models based on this concept on the Chinese market, the first of which will debut in mid-2025.

AUDI E is powered by two electric motors with a total power of 775 hp (570 kW), which enables acceleration to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds. It is equipped with a 100 kWh battery which, according to the Chinese CLTC, enables a range of 700 km. Its 800-volt architecture supports fast charging, and a 10-minute charge provides an electric range of 370 kilometers.
