Ducati and Bentley are proud to jointly announce a new, limited-edition motorcycle that celebrates the best of both iconic brands: the Ducati Diavel for Bentley.
The Ducati Diavel for Bentley is not just a collaboration between two brands within the Volkswagen Group; it is a celebration of their shared values and design principles. The Scarab Green metallic shade, taken from Bentley’s customization division, Mulliner, adds a touch of elegance and exclusivity to the Diavel. This distinct colour choice sets the motorcycle apart and creates a visual connection to the Bentley brand.
“In creating a Diavel inspired by the Siàn, we are celebrating the values we share with Lamborghini: We are Italian, we are sporty, and design is a distinctive element for our creations,” said Andrea Ferraresi, Director of the Centro Stile Ducati design centre, at the time of its release in 2020.
To ensure that the Diavel for Bentley exudes sophistication and style, Ducati’s design team paid careful attention to every detail. The Dark Titanium Satin forged rims, specifically designed and created for this collaboration, mirror the shapes seen on the Bentley Batur, creating a harmonious connection between the two vehicles. The side air intakes on the Diavel reflect the distinctive two-tone front grille of the Bentley Batur, further enhancing the shared design language.
The front mudguard, fairing, and upper view of the tank draw inspiration from the ribbed hood of the Bentley, adding a touch of automotive aesthetics to the Diavel. These design elements not only make the motorcycle stand out but also create a seamless integration between the two vehicles.
Inside the Diavel for Bentley, the rider’s seat is upholstered in black Alcantara with red underlying fabric, echoing the luxurious interior of the Bentley Batur. This attention to detail ensures that the motorcycle provides both comfort and a sense of luxury, inviting riders to experience the utmost pleasure on their journey.
While the collaboration between Bentley and Ducati has resulted in a limited edition of 500 Diavel for Bentley motorcycles, an exclusive group of Bentley customers will have the opportunity to personalize their version of the bike through the Diavel for Bentley Mulliner edition.
Reserved for Bentley customers, this edition allows individuals to customize the saddle, brake callipers, and colour scheme to match their Bentley car. This level of personalization ensures that each bike is truly unique and aligns with the buyer’s taste and style.
The Ducati Diavel for Bentley is not just a motorcycle; it is a work of art that combines the best of both worlds—luxury automobiles and superbikes. It represents the shared values, dedication to craftsmanship, and passion for design that both Bentley and Ducati embody.
With its powerful engine, stunning design, and limited availability, this collaboration will undoubtedly appeal to collectors, motorcycle enthusiasts, and Bentley aficionados alike.
As the release date approaches and the first examples of the Diavel for Bentley hit the streets in the summer of 2024, the anticipation and excitement continue to build. This motorcycle serves as a testament to the endless possibilities that arise when two iconic brands come together to create something extraordinary.
