Limited-Edition Ducati Diavel 1260 Lamborghini Revealed

The Ducati Diavel 1260 Lamborghini is inspired by one of the most fascinating models of Lamborghini, the Lamborghini Sian FKP37. The power cruiser will be made in a limited and numbered edition of 630 units. Furthermore, the livery is characterized by the presence of 63, an important number for the Sant’Agata Bolognese company, which was founded in 1963.Made starting from the base of the Diavel 1260 S, the Diavel Lamborghini was conceived by transferring the basic concepts of the design of the Sian FKP 37 to the motorcycle world and by redesigning the components that most characterize the Diavel. First of all, the forged wheels, light and with a new design, which explicitly recall those of the car, but also the air intakes and radiator covers, made of carbon fibre, and designed by superimposing floating elements on the main structure of the bike.The paints applied to the bike are in fact exactly the same as those used for the Sian FKP 37, with the bodywork characterized by the "Gea Green" colour, while the frame, the undertray and the forged rims are embellished by the use of “Electrum Gold” colour. The typical Ducati red is recalled by the colouring of the Brembo brake calipers.Important identifying elements of Lamborghini design are the hexagon and the "Y" motif.  All the details of the bike that have been redesigned by the Centro Stile Ducati for this specific project are made of a light and precious material such as carbon fibre, also in this case inspired by the car. In addition to the radiator covers and air intakes, the silencer cover, spoiler, central tank cover, seat cover, front and rear mudguards, dashboard cover and headlight frame are also made of carbon.The heart of the Diavel 1260 Lamborghini is the 1262 cc Ducati Testastretta DVT with variable timing. This Euro 5 homologated engine can deliver 162 hp at 9,500 rpm and 129 Nm at 7,500 rpm with a flat torque curve right from medium-low revs. Some of the key features of the Diavel 1260 Lamborghini are the typical “power cruiser” riding position and ergonomics of the Diavel model, along with the exposed tubular steel trellis frame, the 240 mm wide rear tyre, the single-sided aluminium swingarm and the fully adjustable Ohlins suspensions at the front and rear. The chassis guarantees high levels of handling and lean angles, but also an excellent level of comfort.Sophisticated electronics ensure both high-level performance and maximum safety. Bosch's 6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (6D IMU) platform is able to instantly detect the speed and acceleration of the motorcycle and allows the operation of many of the control devices fitted to the Diavel 1260 Lamborghini. The electronic package includes Cornering ABS EVO, Ducati Traction Control EVO (DTC), Ducati Wheelie Control EVO (DWC), Ducati Power Launch EVO (DPL) and Cruise Control.
