Donkervoort Automobielen has taken the clothes off its D8 GTO-JD70 with the long-planned Bare Naked Carbon Edition (BNCE).
Available with either clear or coloured lacquer, the Bare Naked Carbon Edition gives the JD70 a stunning, high-art texture and highlights the precision of Donkervoort’s carbon-fibre expertise, all while making the 700kg car several kilograms lighter.

JD70s with BNCE technology can be delivered in a raw, naked carbon look or with a coloured lacquer coating in either matte or polished finishes.

Claimed to be the first production car in the world with 2G of cornering muscle, the JD70 was developed as a tribute for the 70th birthday of Donkervoort founder, Joop Donkervoort. The BNCE, though, has been developed to help personalise every JD70 Donkervoort builds.

“The woven carbon remains the same,” Donkervoort Automobielen MD, Denis Donkervoort explained: “We use specially developed inks mixed into the clear coat to create the look of the colour in the fibre.

“We can also match the interior coloured carbon pieces to the exterior bodywork,” he confirmed.

More than 95 per cent of the standard JD70 bodywork is in carbon-fibre and the BNCE programme, which we began in 2018, allows owners to see what they’ve paid for. The bodywork of the JD70 is made of a carbon-fibre/Kevlar weave and even the cycle wings are from the same material.

The most powerful Donkervoort ever made, the 2.5-litre, five-cylinder motor generates 415bhp (310kW) of power and 520Nm of torque.

The engine delivers its peak torque from only 1750rpm and holds it until 6350rpm – a point in the rev range where most cars are developing their peak power.

At the core of the JD70 is a hybrid chassis technology that combines a tubular steel ladderframe with carbon-fibre for added strength and aluminium to reduce weight in less critical areas.

The wide-track suspension system features a double-wishbone layout and redeveloped three-way adjustable Intrax dampers at each corner.

It uses Tarox wave-pattern 310mm x 24mm discs and six-piston, monobloc calipers at the front and smaller (285mm x 24mm) wave-pattern discs and a single-piston caliper setup at the rear.
