Ducati design is taking center stage around the world with a series of international events dedicated to the new Diavel V4. After winning over the experts thanks to the enjoyability of its performance and the riding dynamics between the curves of Jebel Hafeet at the Riding Première held in the United Arab Emirates, the unmistakable style of the Diavel V4 has been the protagonist in metropolises such as Amsterdam, Paris, Brussels, London, New York City, Kyoto and Shanghai with the “Diavel V4 Design Nights“.
During these seven exclusive evenings, Ducati presented one of this season’s most eagerly awaited new models to an audience of invited guests, keeping a special focus on the design of a family of motorcycles which over the years has become a true style icon.
The locations of all the events were selected with an emphasis on a refined atmosphere and sophisticated taste. The Moonlight Studios (New York City), the Sinner Restaurant (Paris), TheMerode Club (Brussels), The Gherkin (London), the Klibansky Gallery (Amsterdam), Tofukuji Temple (Kyoto) and Museum of Art Pudong (Shanghai) were ideal venues to enhance the unique personality of the Diavel V4.
“Ducati has a unique design philosophy which derives from an extraordinary attention to detail and places style as a central and distinctive element in each of our creations” declared the Ducati Centro Stile Director Andrea Ferraresi, presenting the “Diavel V4 Design Night” in New York.“ The Diavel family is truly special for the Centro Stile because it took shape from an impactful and innovative proposal in which the Company strongly believed. With the new Diavel V4 we have confirmed a bold and muscular design, capable of attracting attention in any context. We are very proud of the final result , particularly the detail work, which makes this bike’s style absolutely unmistakable”.
The main new feature of the Diavel V4 is the introduction of the V4 Granturismo. In the Diavel philosophy the engine is the fulcrum around which everything revolves: performance, character and style. Ducati designers have therefore started from the V4 Granturismo, enhancing it and making it the protagonist, developing all the other elements that contribute to the style of the Diavel to keep its uniqueness and recognisability intact and to amaze once again.
The motorcycle’s lighting system is extremely spectacular and helps to unequivocally define its aesthetics, particularly from the rear with an unprecedented matrix of punctiform LEDs. Two other characterizing elements of the Diavel V4 are the imposing 240 mm wide rear tire with five-spoke alloy rims and the silencer with four outlets.
