Built on the technical foundation of the Diavel V4, the motorcycle has received many of the styling elements that characterize the Batur, a model produced in a very limited series that anticipates Bentley’s future style trends. It will be produced in a numbered and limited series of 500+50 units, the latter reserved for Bentley customers.
The choice of the Diavel V4 as the base motorcycle for this special edition by Ducati probably came from the notion that Bentley is not the type of brand that would associate itself with something called a “Streetfighter,” which was the model used by Ducati in some of its other special editions, including its collaboration with Lamborghini.
Its name derives from the Italian word for “devil,” which doesn’t seem to fit with the Bentley idealization, but – let’s be realistic – the marketing department in Borgo Panigale was not exactly hindered by the choice when trying to find a motorcycle in Ducati’s range that would fit the image of its British partners.
So, we have the Bentley Diavel, and it’s more or less what you would expect. Ducati used the base of the Diavel V4 – which produces 168 hp from the 1,158 cc Granturismo V4, which is also a stress element of the aluminum frame – and painted it in British Racing Green (actually called “Scarab Green,” but we know the goal).
It may have been released just a month ago, but the Bentley Diavel by Ducati is already sold out. With a production of 500 units, the special edition motorcycle is based on the Ducati Diavel V4 and has a price of €67,490.52.
