Ducati Diavel V4 Limited Edition, Inspired by Bentley Batur, Breaks Cover Globally

A brand-new limited-edition of the Ducati Diavel V4 has made its global debut, marking a unique collaboration between Ducati and Bentley. The limited-edition Ducati Diavel for Bentley is a tribute to the Batur – the company's most potent production vehicle ever. Although it borrows certain design cues from the Bentley Batur, the Ducati Diavel for Bentley is based on the Diavel V4. Limited to just 500 units in a numbered series, the Diavel for Bentley features distinctive diamond-cut forged wheels and carbon fibre bodywork reminiscent of the W12-powered Batur. Additionally, a select edition of 50 units, named "Ducati Diavel for Bentley Mulliner," will also be produced. Let's now take a detailed look at what this limited-run model has to offer in terms of performance, specs, and other aspects.

Ducati Diavel V4 Limited Edition: Unique Styling

To give the bike a distinctive appearance, Bentley designers collaborated with Centro Stile Ducati. The resulting special edition features an exterior colour scheme inspired by the Bentley Mulliner's Scarab Green and is modelled after the Bentley Batur. The bike has polished chrome five-spoke Super Sport wheels with blue details, which match the original car's grey metallic blue hue. It also has two-tone air intakes and triangle-shaped extractors, just like the vehicle. Additionally, buyers will notice recognisable wheels and a single-seater tail that borrows numerous styling cues from the rear end of the Batur and can be converted to a passenger seat. The model also has a lot of carbon fibre bodywork and lightweight material used to build fenders, side panels, and the tail. An altered exhaust system, a Black Alcantara seat, and Bentley badging are other noteworthy elements.

Limited to 500 units, with an additional 50 units designated as Ducati Diavels for Bentley Mulliner, buyers have the opportunity to personalize their Diavel for Bentley Mulliner, choosing hues for carbon fibre components, rims, front brake callipers, and the saddle.

The 1,158cc V4 engine powering the Diavel for Bentley produces 126Nm of peak torque at 7,500rpm and 166bhp of maximum power at 10,750rpm and is mated to a six-speed gearbox. Thus, mechanically, the limited-edition model for Bentley is the same as the Diavel V4. Furthermore, it is capable of reaching a top speed of 299 km/h.
