The Diavel Lamborghini is a stunning collaboration between two of the top-tier car and motorcycle manufacturers, Lamborghini and Ducati. Both brands may produce altogether different products, but they share a lot more than just their locality in Motor Valley. Both brands embody a devotion to performance and design in their respective arenas that few other manufacturers can rival. And the Ducati Diavel Lamborghini is just that. But what exactly does the Diavel Lamborghini bring apart from the livery? Here are your answers.

Inspired By The Lamborghini Sián FKP 37

Lamborghini Sián Combined Power Output: 807 HP@ 8,500 HP

The Ducati Diavel 1260 is inspired by the most prestigious Lamborghini ever built, the Sián FKP 37. This hypercar is the most powerful Lambo ever, and it’s a hybrid — we’ve indeed come a long way from the good ol’ Prius. Thanks to this hybrid system, featuring a 6.5 liter naturally aspirated V12 engine paired with hybrid tech, the hypercar slingshots to 60 MPH from a standstill in 2.8 seconds, topping out at 220 MPH — it’s a mind-bending experience.

The Sián is marked with its low and extreme design with a menacing road presence that’s enough to warn random Ferraris it comes across — this bull can charge at the fastest horses and knock them out. And while the Sián is essentially an Aventador SVJ with a more radical design and interior, it is inspired by the legendary Countach, taking cues like razor-sharp lines and aerodynamic silhouette in the design department.

The car celebrates the founding of Lamborghini in 1963, and as a result, the Italian marque will only produce 19 Sián roadsters and 63 coupes. And if you want to own one, it will set you back by a measly $2.64 million brand new. Good luck getting your hands on one of the fifteen units that were slated to come to the U.S. shores.

The Diavel Is In The Details Of The Design

Ducati and Lamborghini share many values, including sportiness, performance, and meticulous devotion to detail, and this shows in the Ducati Diavel 1260 Lamborghini Edition. This bike is based on the Diavel 1260 S but takes design cues from the Sián, bringing sharp styling and radical characterization to the motorcycling world. For example, the Centro Stile Ducati has redesigned various parts of the bike with lightness in mind and precious metals in hardware to complement the hypercar’s design.

The attention to detail on the Diavel 1260 Lamborghini Edition can be seen the moment you turn on the keys, as the TFT lights up with the logos of the two brands with a silhouette of the Diavel Lamborghini. But whether you take a step back or lean in closer, the attention to detail is always apparent.

For instance, the Diavel Lamborghini uses aluminum forged wheels that are designed to match those of the hypercar; the wheels are finished in Electrum Gold with machined aluminum edges on the spokes. Even the chassis and undertray are finished in Electrum Gold. Even the color is something you can’t ignore. The livery is a collaboration between Centro Stile Ducati and Centro Stile Lamborghini, and the paint is the same used on the Sián — the Gea Green color. Lean a little closer, and you’ll see the quintessentially Ducati red color gracing the Brembo calipers.

Ducati Diavel Lamborghini Design Highlights

• The livery is adorned with ‘63’, commemorating the founding year of Lamborghini
• The air intake, radiator covers, silencer cover, spoiler, central tank cover, mudguards, and headlight frame are made of carbon fiber
• The bike is packed with the hexagon and ‘Y’ motifs that often grace Lamborghini supercars
• You can even buy a matching helmet with graphics coordinated with that of the Diavel Lamborghini

But Underneath, It’s The Same Wicket Diavel 1260 S

Ducati Diavel Lamborghini Edition Power Output: 159 HP @ 9,500 RPM

Keep the design aside, and you’ll find this Lambo-inspired Ducati to be almost the same as the Diavel 1260 S in terms of its performance, handling, and technology. Why did we say almost the same as the 1260 S? Well, the Ducati Diavel features forged aluminum rims that save around 2.2 pounds, and since it is an unsprung weight, it can leave a noticeable improvement on the handling front.

So, everything that makes the Diavel 1260 S a terrific power cruiser is still retained on the Diavel Lamborghini. The bike features the typical power cruiser riding position along with an exposed tubular steel trellis frame, beefy rear wheel, and a single-sided swingarm. The suspension is also carried over from the 1260 S: fully adjustable Ohlins suspensions at the front and rear. The agile chassis encases the lively Testastretta DVT 1262 V-twin. And adding a cherry to this lasagna is the comprehensive electronics suite by Bosch.

You’ll Have To Be One Of 630 To Own It

Auction Price: $65,000 to $75,000 And Appreciating

The Ducati Diavel Lamborghini is a gorgeous, unique motorcycle that marks the amalgamation of two legendary manufacturers, Ducati and Lamborghini. Of course, it may only be a mostly aesthetic treatment the Diavel Lamborghini gets over the 1260 S, but it doesn’t stop us from wowing at the sheer beauty of it.

The Diavel 1260 S is a terrific motorcycle as is, complementing everything Lamborghini stands for. It’s mighty powerful, aggressive, and loud, with a road presence that commands attention even when it’s parked on the side of the road. The bike behaves naked in the corners and rushes past the traffic like a sports bike, thanks to its tubular steel frame and sports engine. It’s an Italian icon that has even won the Red Dot Award and the Good Design Award.

The Ducati Diavel Lamborghini Edition is a limited-run motorcycle with only 630 being produced. Like the Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini, the Diavel Lamborghini is the kind of bike that can’t be ignored by anyone who likes anything with an engine and wheels. Bikers will point at it in awe and yell, “Woah! A Ducati Lambo!” And our fellow car enthusiasts will look at it and say, “Is that a Lamborghini motorcycle?”

Andrea Ferraresi, Director of the Centro Stile Ducati

In creating a Diavel inspired by the Siàn, we are celebrating the values we share with Lamborghini: we are Italian, we are sporty, and design is a distinctive element for our creators.

The Diavel Ducati is not just a motorcycle, it’s a bridge between two worlds, which often lie apart from one another but share values that are basically the same. Like Ducati and Lamborghini, bikers and car enthusiasts share a love for speed and thrill. It’s a reminder that no matter how different we are, we still share the same road and the same passion, and that power, performance, and noise know no boundaries.
