A Fusion of Luxury: Bentley’s Influence on Ducati’s Diavel V4
In a surprising yet luxurious collaboration, British luxury carmaker Bentley and renowned Italian motorcycle manufacturer Ducati join forces to craft a truly extravagant “two-wheeled work of art” – the Ducati Diavel for Bentley. Despite their distinct industries, this partnership births a masterpiece inspired by Bentley’s million-pound Batur and based on the formidable Ducati Diavel V4.
Design Elegance: A Glimpse into Bentley’s Coachbuilding Excellence
Drawing inspiration from Bentley’s rare and meticulously crafted million-pound Batur, only 18 of which exist, Bentley’s Mulliner coachbuilding division collaborates with Ducati to create a bespoke look for the Diavel for Bentley. The bike’s tank and components showcase heavily sculpted lines reminiscent of the Batur’s muscular bodywork, while the two-tone color scheme and grille pattern on the air intakes echo the luxurious car’s design.
Exclusive Elements: From Forged Rims to Interior Details
Exclusivity defines the Ducati Diavel for Bentley, with forged rims, designed exclusively for this collaboration, mirroring those on Bentley’s ultra-exclusive GT car. These rims, painted in Dark Titanium Satin, maintain a visual connection with the car. Even the rider’s seat pays homage to the Batur’s interior, featuring precise perforations revealing red fabric underneath the black Alcantara upholstery. The Bentley emblem is elegantly embroidered on the seat, and the striking Scarab Green paint is sourced from Mulliner’s color palette.
Performance Meets Luxury: Carbon Fiber Components and Special Animation
Subtle yet impactful touches include carbon fiber elements such as fenders, headlight cover, and engine, exhaust, and radiator covers. The exhaust sports a new dual tailpipe design, while the dashboard and LED light cluster on the tail feature a special animation upon ignition.
Limited Edition: Ducati Diavel for Bentley Mulliner
For the fortunate few, 50 additional bikes named Ducati Diavel for Bentley Mulliner will undergo extra special treatment. Reserved for Mulliner customers, these lucky individuals can customize colors for the saddle, front brake calipers, carbon fiber components, and rims, matching the bike to their Bentley car.
Exclusivity Package: Certificates, Accessories, and Personalized Touches
Every Diavel for Bentley includes a certificate of authenticity, a passenger seat, and a motorcycle cover. Riders can complete their ensemble with a specially designed ‘jet helmet’ and jacket that harmonizes with the bike’s color scheme.
Priced Elegance: Starting at £58,000
The Ducati Diavel for Bentley begins at £58,000, more than double the price of a standard Ducati Diavel V4. This exclusive collaboration promises a blend of Bentley’s luxury and Ducati’s performance, offering a unique riding experience that transcends traditional boundaries.
