Revealed to the public with a design event during Art Basel week in Miami Beach, the Ducati Diavel for Bentley was a limited production model based on the Diavel V4 inspired by the Bentley Batur – Bentley’s most powerful production car ever (730 hp twin-turbo W12 engine) that was coach-built with just 18 units.
Ducati built 500 examples of the Diavel for Bentley, with an additional 50 created as part of a customizable program called Diavel for Bentley Mulliner – those bikes were only available to Bentley customers.
To make the Diavel for Bentley stand out, Ducati tapped their design center Centro Stile. Ducati says they drew “inspiration from the Batur from which it takes the mainly horizontal lines of the side view. The Scarab Green color, sophisticated and refined, rich in metallic shades, comes from the Bentley Mulliner palette and is used throughout the bodywork.”
The Dark Titanium Satin forged wheels were designed specifically for this model.
“The side air intakes reflect the two-tone front grille, one of the most recognizable elements of the Batur. The triangular rear extractors refer to the corresponding elements of the car. The front mudguard, the fairing and the upper view of the tank recall the ribs on the front bonnet, while the single-seater tail, which can be replaced with a passenger seat, takes many styling cues from the double-layer extractor on the back of the car.”
Ducati also bestowed this model with several carbon fiber components: the fenders, headlamp cover, engine, exhaust and radiator covers, radiator shrouds, side panels, and tail piece.
“The rider’s seat, in black Alcantara, is inspired by the interior of the car, is achieved with precision workmanship that reveals the underlying red fabric with the same texture of that of the Batur seats and with the Bentley logo embroidered on the rear pad. The dual outlet exhaust, with its cover, has been redesigned to harmonize with the refined lines of the bike.”
The 1,158cc Granturismo engine is the same from standard Diavel V4, a powerplant that puts out an impressive 168 horsepower. MSRP for the Diavel for Bentley was $70,000.
This example is VIN: ZDMGAR1W9RB005755.
It is production number 295/500.
The odometer shows 124 miles.
