Ducati and Bentley, two iconic brands synonymous with performance, craftsmanship, and exclusivity, are proud to introduce a limited-edition masterpiece born from their collaboration: the Ducati Diavel for Bentley. This unique motorcycle combines the sophisticated technical base of the high-performance and comfortable Diavel V4 with characterizing elements of the Bentley Batur, resulting in a stunning synthesis of technology, style, and performance.

The grand reveal of the Diavel for Bentley took place at a special event at Art Basel in Miami, the overseas edition of the prestigious European contemporary art fair. This limited-edition motorcycle, crafted in a numbered series of 500, with an extra 50 even more exclusive “Ducati Diavel for Bentley Mulliner” bikes reserved for Bentley customers, showcases the pinnacle of collaboration between the two renowned manufacturers.

Inspiration from Bentley Batur

The inspiration for the Diavel for Bentley is drawn from Bentley’s most powerful production car, the Batur, featuring a 740 PS twin-turbo W12 engine. The Batur not only exemplifies benchmark Bentley craftsmanship but also introduces a new design DNA for the brand. With only 18 examples handcrafted by Mulliner, Bentley’s in-house bespoke division, the Batur communicates power and elegance without ostentation.

Design Collaboration and Elements

The Centro Stile Ducati, in collaboration with Bentley designers, created a new design for the Diavel for Bentley, drawing inspiration from the distinctive lines of the Batur. The Scarab Green color, taken from Bentley Mulliner’s palette, adorns the bodywork, giving the motorcycle a sophisticated and refined appearance.

The Diavel V4’s aggressive lines are complemented by technical components inspired by the Batur. Notable features include forged rims reminiscent of the car’s design, triangular rear extractors, and side air intakes reflecting the two-tone front grille. High-quality carbon fiber components, such as fenders, headlamp cover, engine, exhaust, and radiator covers, contribute to the motorcycle’s lightweight and high-performance characteristics.

The rider’s seat, crafted in black Alcantara, mirrors the Batur’s interior, complete with the Bentley logo embroidered on the rear pad. The dual outlet exhaust has been redesigned to harmonize with the refined lines of the bike.

Diavel for Bentley Mulliner: Exclusivity Redefined

In addition to the 500 Diavel for Bentley examples, Ducati offers a highly exclusive series of 50 Diavel for Bentley Mulliner motorcycles. Reserved for Bentley customers working closely with Mulliner, these bikes can be customized with different colors for the saddle, front brake calipers, carbon fiber parts, and rims. Owners can also choose the same color as their Bentley car or opt for an exclusive palette curated by Mulliner’s designers.

Final Details and Collectible Elements

Like all collectible Ducatis, the Diavel for Bentley comes with a certificate of authenticity, a passenger seat, and a motorcycle cover. The model name and production number are displayed on a plate inserted in the carbon fiber cover of the vertical head. Each motorcycle is delivered in an exclusive personalized wooden case.

The Diavel for Bentley features the 1,158 cc V4 Granturismo engine, offering powerful performance, rich torque, and a compact design. The collaboration has also led to a Capsule Collection, allowing owners to complete their look with a jet helmet and a limited-edition technical jacket, reflecting the motorcycle’s color scheme.

This joint project between Ducati and Bentley is a testament to their shared vision within the Volkswagen Group’s “Progressive Brand Group,” which includes Audi and Lamborghini. The Ducati Diavel for Bentley stands as a symbol of the harmonious blend of automotive and motorcycle craftsmanship, catering to enthusiasts who appreciate the pinnacle of design, technology, and exclusivity.
