Deliveries of Ducati’s exclusive Diavel for Bentley have started with the unveiling of the limited-edition model at Bentley headquarters.
The Diavel for Bentley is inspired by the elegant and sophisticated lines of the Bentley Batur – a limited-series model handcrafted by Bentley – and developed around the technical base of the alluring Ducati Diavel V4. Production is limited to a numbered edition of just 500 units of Diavel for Bentley, and 50 units of Diavel for Bentley Mulliner reserved to Bentley clients.
Ducati Diavel for Bentley represents the first collaboration between the two iconic brands. It boasts a completely new design courtesy of the Centro Stile Ducati, in collaboration with Bentley designers, drawing inspiration from the Batur’s sculpted bodywork and the unmistakeable two-tone front grille.
The reveal at the Bentley headquarters in Crewe was the first time the Diavel for Bentley has been displayed in public in the UK, and the event was witnessed by the soon-to-be new owners of the bikes from the UK and North Europe.
True to the luxurious nature of both the Diavel for Bentley and the Batur, the participants enjoyed a gala dinner and cocktail reception, as well as the full Bentley experience including a factory tour, as they attended the presentation of the model.
Hosted jointly by Ducati and Bentley, the event was not only a chance to meet the bike in person, but also a celebration of the two innovative brands working together to produce a striking synthesis of style, sophistication, and performance.
Present at the event from Bentley headquarter Mr. David Parker (Chief Commercial Officer – Mulliner) and Mr. Jai Bolar (Head of Design Strategy and Innovation), who introduced the Batur design inspiration.
From Ducati side, Mr. Stefano Tarabusi, Design Manager and Fabrizio Cazzoli, MD for the UK: “We are delighted to offer this exclusive experience for our clients from the United Kingdom and North Europe. This collaboration has been an immense success. It’s not surprising when two brands like Bentley and Ducati, at the top of their industries, get together”.
