Donkervoorts Bare Naked F22 Is Sexier And Lighter Because Carbon Fiber

Donkervoort revealed the first “Bare Naked” F22 with an exposed carbon fiber bodywork which is destined for a customer in the Middle East. The optional feature shaves a few pounds from the already featherweight F22, while improving its visual appeal.

Donkervoort’s Bare Naked treatment was originally introduced as a limited-edition series but is now available as a factory option for all F22 owners. According to managing director Denis Donkervoort, the option shows an “unprecedented level of popularity among the first wave of F22 clients” and is proven to have an “even stronger positive influence on values”.

In the Bare Naked F22, the exposed Ex-Core carbon-fiber bodywork with either a clear or a colored coat finish shaves off 10 kg (22 pounds), with another 10 kg (22 pounds) shaved by the optional carbon-fiber wheels. As a result, the supercar can tip the scales at 730 kg (1,609 pounds), compared to the 750 kg (1,653 pounds) of the standard version, further improving its exceptional power-to-weight ratio to 685 PS per tonne.

The company suggests that the Bare Naked model will have “similar power, torque and performance specifications” with the regular Donkervoort F22 without giving us specific numbers. The standard Audi-sourced turbocharged 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine produces 492 hp (367 kW / 500 PS) and 640 Nm (472 lb-ft) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear axle through a five-speed manual with the help of a Torsen limited-slip differential allowing a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration in 2.5 seconds.

The first Bare Naked F22 is currently heading to its owner in the United Arab Emirates, but Donkervoort has additional Bare Naked orders from Italy, the Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, Israel, Finland, and the United States. Following the increased demand, Donkervoort recently announced it will produce an additional 25 units of the F22 in its Lelystad facilities by mid-2025, increasing the total production run to 100 units.

Gearhead Nirvana: We Visit Porsche’s Atlanta Workshop Where Classics Get Reborn

Image
Maintaining any car is a duty that different owners approach in vastly different ways. For some, a few zip ties and a rattle can of spray paint is good enough. Far on the other end of the spectrum are owners like the ones who take their car to the Porsche Classic Center in Atlanta. During our trip there to see the new Macan EV in virtual reality , we had the opportunity to tour the Classic Center as it was deep in the midst of multiple repair and restoration projects.  To the owners of these cars and to the Porsche brand itself, what these mechanics, technicians, upholsterers, and painters are preserving is heritage. The center’s mantra “As good as new. But with even more character” is on display for anyone who visits the site.

The New Honda Prelude Will Be A Global Model, But It Won’t Be A Toyota GR 86

Image
Last month, Honda rolled out the red carpet for the the hybrid Prelude Concept , heralding the comeback of a historic name in the motoring world. Now, this car has been given the green light as a global model, set to cater to both right- and left-hand drive markets. However, it might not quite rev up to be the full-throttle sports car many enthusiasts were anticipating Despite being labeled a concept by Honda, the car presented at the Japan Mobility Show (JMS) looked quite production-ready. And if we know anything about Honda, they have a knack for unveiling thinly-disguised production cars as concepts. Take the last two Civics, for example. The 10th-gen Civic Concept was more or less the Civic coupe of that generation with a more aggressive stance and altered bumpers, while the 11th-gen Civic Prototype was virtually the same sedan that made it to production.

As Good As New Porsche 918 Spyder With Just 43 Miles Could Fetch $2 Million

Image
This Porsche 918 has been kept in a climate-controlled storage facility ever since it was delivered. The car is one of just four Hong Kong-spec 918s in existence. Driving the hypercar is a 4.6-liter V8 hybrid powertrain with 887 hp. A 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder that has never been registered will be available at a Hong Kong auction running from April 2-5 and is expected to sell for between $1.5 million and $2 million. The 918 Spyder launched as one of the ‘hypercar holy trinity’ alongside the Ferrari LaFerrari and McLaren P1. While there are many low-mileage examples out there, few are thought to have been driven less than this one. Over the past decade, it has been driven less than 70 km (43 miles) and has been owned by a single person in Hong Kong. It has also never been registered for road use. The listing doesn’t specify how the car has racked up 70 km without being registered. Read: This Porsche 918 Is One Of Just 2 With A Gulf Oil Livery Nevertheless, this car i...
