Ducati and Mercedes AMG have announced the first public showing of the Ducati Diavel AMG Special Edition will be at the 64th International Motor Show in Frankfurt, Germany from September 15-25 September.
The 2012 flagship model of the Diavel family features AMG’s signature five-spoke wheel styling, carbon fibre lateral radiator grills with aluminium trim, AMG-style sport exhaust system with engraved end-caps, and an AMG-style horizontally ribbed seat.
Every engine is authenticated with the name of the engine technician engraved on the left-side engine casing. Each motorcycle will have a numbered plaque on the fuel tank.
The Diavel AMG Special Edition is dressed in matte black carbon fibre bodywork with AMG’s very own “Diamond White Bright” stripe and frame colour contrasted with black wheels. The special edition wheels, seat and exhaust end-caps are all AMG branded while “AMG” is also laser-engraved into the air-duct panels either side of the fuel tank.
The Ducati Diavel AMG Special Edition -- and exclusively designed leather jacket -- will be available in early 2012, with orders opening to coincide with the first public showing in Frankfurt.
Ducati’s cooperation with Mercedes AMG was first announced at the 2010 Los Angeles Motor Show with a sponsorship agreement for the Ducati MotoGP Team. The Diavel AMG Special Edition represents the first “co-inspired” model.
