 Forget The Naked Option, This Donkervoort F22 Wears A Painting

  • The livery of the Donkervoort F22 Art Edition was created by Dutch artist Anneke Wilbrink.
  • The one-off belongs to a Dutch collector and longtime Donkervoort owner who plans on displaying it in his own gallery.
  • Donkervoort endorsed the model calling existing and future owners to let their imagination free when it comes to customizing their F22s.

Donkervoort is the latest automaker to embrace the art car trend, unveiling a one-off version of the F22 track toy. The supercar features a unique livery inspired by one of the Dutch owner’s favorite artworks, adding a personal touch to the vehicle’s bodywork.

The owner is called Cees Lubbers and plans on displaying the F22 Art Edition in his own gallery, next to artworks, cars, and motorbikes. According to the Dutch company, Lubbers also owns a red Donkervoort D8 GTO JD70 R which he often drives on the track, so he can make this special F22 a “garage queen”.

The original painting that inspired the Donkervoort F22 Art Edition livery was created by award-winning Dutch artist Anneke Wilbrink. The colorful piece combines hues of cyan, green, yellow, orange, and red scattered on a white background, and also features the Donkervoort emblem. The artwork covers every inch of the F22’s body panels creating an eye-catching effect.

The resulting Art Edition has been “proudly endorsed” by Donkervoort. The company calls existing and future owners of the F22 to let their imagination free when it comes to customization.

The Donkervoort F22 Art Edition maintains the technical specifications of the standard model, featuring the turbocharged 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine sourced from Audi. This powerplant delivers 492 hp (367 kW / 500 PS) and 640 Nm (472 lb-ft) of torque, resulting in a “devilish” power-to-weight ratio of 666 PS per tonne. Power is exclusively transmitted to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox, complemented by a Torsen limited-slip differential.

Printing art on cars can be fun, although in Donkervoort’s case we would probably prefer the “Bare Naked” version of the F22 over the pictured Art Edition. Besides the sinister looks of the carbon fiber bodywork, this one shaves 20 kg (44 pounds) off the weight of the standard model when combined with the optional carbon fiber wheels. And while that number doesn’t sound that impressive, any weight reduction is always welcome.
