Bare Naked Carbon Leaves Little to the Imagination

Donkervoort reveals outrageously wicked special edition D8 GTO.

Several months after revealing what was promised to be an "even meaner" looking edition of its D8 GTO, the Bilster Berg, Dutch boutique automaker Donkervoort has taken villainous to a whole new level. The company has just revealed the shocking Bare Naked Carbon Edition, a devilish special edition of the D8 that replaces what ordinary cars call paint with a transparent UV protective coating. And as its name would suggest, the Bare Naked is proud to flaunt carbon fiber in nearly every orifice of its body.

Beyond its carbon fiber overdose – which includes everything from the car's headlight housing to its roll bar trim and ignition cylinder – this special edition is pretty much unchanged from the standard D8. Underhood, it employs the same Audi 2.5 R5 TFSI engine, producing approximately 380 horsepower. With the previous Bilster Berg edition priced from 194,000 Euros and limited to just 14 units, expect the Bare Naked to be equally elusive and rare.
