EXCLUSIVE LIMITED SERIES : Ducati Diavel for Bentley

Bold inspires Bold: a numbered edition limited to 500 units, inspired by the Bentley Batur and built on the technical basis of the Diavel V4. Ducati Diavel for Bentley Mulliner: a limited, numbered series of 50 additional units reserved for Bentley customers, who will have the opportunity to make the bike even more unique.

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. Born of collaboration between the two manufacturers, the project links Ducati and Bentley with a vision of performance, craftsmanship and exclusivity. The result is a striking synthesis of technology, style and performance capable of making enthusiasts dream. The bike was revealed to the public at a design event during Art Basel week in Miami Beach.

On the sophisticated technical basis of the high-performance, comfortable Diavel V4, Ducati has incorporated many of the styling features of the Bentley Batur – A limited edition model hand-built by Bentley – To create a motorcycle that is unique in terms of elegance and design. The Diavel for Bentley will be created in a limited numbered series of 500+50 units, the latter reserved for Bentley customers.

The Centro Stile Ducati, in collaboration with Bentley designers, has created a new design for this special motorcycle, inspired by the Batur, from which it takes the predominantly horizontal lines of the side view. The sophisticated and refined Scarab Green color, rich in metallic nuances, comes from the Bentley Mulliner palette and is used throughout the bodywork.

The decisive, aggressive lines of the Diavel V4 have also been thoroughly revised through the technical components : Many of the Batur’s characteristic elements have been incorporated into various parts of the bike. The forged rims, designed and created for this bike, recall the shapes of the car’s and are painted in Dark Titanium Satin, revealing some machined surfaces.

The side air intakes echo the two-tone grille, one of the Batur’s most recognizable features. The triangular rear extractors refer to the corresponding elements of the car. The front mudguard, fairing and top view of the fuel tank recall the ribs of the front hood, while the single-seater tail, which can be replaced by a passenger seat, takes many stylistic cues from the double-layer extractor at the rear of the car.

Many body components are made of high-quality carbon fiber (fenders, headlamp covers, engine, exhaust and radiator, radiator shrouds, side panels, rear piece).

The driver’s seat, in black Alcantara, is inspired by the car’s interior and is precision-worked to reveal the underlying red fabric with the same texture as the Batur seats, and with the Bentley logo embroidered on the rear cushion. The double-exit exhaust, with its cover, has been redesigned to harmonize with the refined lines of the motorcycle.

The Batur is Bentley’s most powerful production car ever, with a 730hp twin-turbo W12 engine, produced in just 18 examples. What’s more, the Batur combines Bentley’s benchmark craftsmanship with a sculpted, muscular body that defines a new design DNA for Bentley and prefigures a new design direction for the brand. The visual message is one of power and elegance, without ostentation or excess. The 18 examples of the Batur are individually handcrafted by Mulliner, the world’s oldest coachbuilder and Bentley’s bespoke division.

In addition to the 500 Diavel models for Bentley, Ducati is also offering a series of just 50 models, called Diavel for Bentley Mulliner. The 50 Diavel for Bentley Mulliner will be available exclusively to Bentley customers, who, thanks to direct collaboration with the designers at Centro Stile Ducati, will be able to configure their Diavel for Bentley Mulliner with different colors for the seat, front brake calipers, carbon fiber parts and wheels. They will also be able to choose the same color as their car for the body parts, or one of those from the exclusive palette selected by the Crewe-based company’s designers.

The Diavel for Bentley, like all vintage Ducati, comes with a certificate of authenticity, a passenger seat and a motorcycle cover. The model name and production number of the unit are engraved on a plate inserted in the carbon-fiber cover of the vertical head, on the right-hand side of the bike. The instrument panel, fitted as standard with a turn-by-turn navigator, and the LED matrix in the rear light cluster offer a special animation at ignition that makes the Diavel for Bentley even more recognizable. Finally, each Diavel for Bentley will be delivered in an exclusive, personalized wooden box.

The collaboration between the two manufacturers has also led to the creation of a Capsule Collection, reserved for Diavel for Bentley owners, which allows customers to complete their look with a limited edition helmet and technical jacket (available in men’s and women’s versions), characterized by a color scheme that reflects that of the motorcycle.

The Diavel for Bentley adopts the 1,158 cm3 Granturismo V4 engine, a central element of its design and at the same time a highly refined technical choice. Powerful (168 hp), rich in torque, but also extremely light and compact, it is fluid, smooth and usable from the lowest revs. The Twin Pulse combustion sequence, combined with the dedicated exhaust system, unequivocally characterizes the exhaust note.

Customer deliveries of the new Diavel for Bentley will begin in summer 2024.

U.S. pricing will be $70,000 for the Diavel for Bentley and $90,000 for the Diavel for Bentley Mulliner.

Canadian prices will be $80,000 for the Diavel for Bentley and $105,000 for the Diavel for Bentley Mulliner. The suggested retail price includes the Capsule Collection jacket and helmet, exclusively for North America.
