Ducati Diavel for Bentley 2024 — Specifications

You are not ready to enter a world where money is no longer counted in euros or dollars. Ducati, however, feels perfectly comfortable with its new Diavel for Bentley. By partnering with one of England’s most prestigious automobile brands, the powerful Italian roadster asserts itself as a work of art on two wheels. It’s beautiful, it’s powerful, and it’s stunning!

Italian and English designers have transposed the spirit of the Bentley Batur into this Diavel V4. The result is a motorcycle of very strong charisma, exuding both power and prestige. It is finished in a superb emerald green, the "Scarab Green." Less aristocratic and more aggressive, the red of the Brembo Stylema brake calipers is matched to that of the 10-piston jaws of the car.

The Diavel For Bentley multiplies the stylistic references to the Batur. Its specific rims are a perfect copy of those of the coupé, while the air intake louvers contain a grille borrowed from the radiator grille. In Bologna, the designers redesigned virtually all the bodywork parts; the front fender, the fairing, and the upper tank cover are reworked to recall the ribs of the hood. The seat cowl prefers to orient itself towards the style of the double-layer extractor at the rear of the car.

The seat is a delight in itself. Finely worked with red topstitching and the Bentley logo embroidered on the rear bump stop, the Alcantara seat echoes the design of the seats in the Batur. To match noble materials, most of the bodywork parts are carbon fiber. The exhaust tips have also been redesigned.

The Diavel V4 Bentley edition will be produced in 500 units, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, a passenger seat, and a protective cover. The motorcycles will be delivered in an exclusive and personalized wooden crate – which itself will be able to increase in value. A numbered "Limited Edition" plaque will consecrate each Diavel, placed on the right side of the large 168 horsepower V4. At startup, the 5-inch TFT dashboard will display a specific animation.

But the Diavel For Bentley is not limited to its 500 very high-end units. For some wealthy enthusiasts, exclusivity takes on another meaning. Ducati will offer 50 additional "Mulliner" units, exclusively reserved for owners of a (or multiple) Bentley cars, with an extra dose of personalization. For 15 plates more, totaling €75,000, the buyer can choose the dominant color of the motorcycle. Either the same as that of their own car, or one from the exclusive palette created by the English brand. They can also select different colors for the rims, the seat, the front brake calipers, and the carbon fiber parts.

To accompany this special series of Diavel, Ducati offers as an accompaniment an Araï helmet and a leather jacket in the same theme.

Having previously seized the legend of Lamborghini with the 1260 Diavel with a V2 engine and the Streetfighter V4, Ducati continues its exacerbated quest for luxury by again drawing from the vast portfolio of brands of the Volkswagen Group – to which it belongs. By choosing the prestigious automobile brand Bentley, the Diavel V4 ennobles itself while shattering price standards. A bar of prestige, which is increasingly moving away from common sense and motorcyclists.

If we were talking a little about the Batur. A superb coupé in the most refined tradition of Crewe. Its 18 units will be produced at Mulliner, the personalization department of Bentley. In exchange for almost €2 million, the customer can personalize their unit from end to end. Then, after several months necessary for its manufacture, the lucky owner can enjoy its W12 of 740 horsepower, the most powerful engine in the history of the manufacturer. An engine that will surely be the last thermal engine at Bentley, which plans to switch to all-electric by 2030.
