Ducati and Lamborghini: a partnership founded on design and performance

The two Italian industry leaders embark on a new chapter

SUNNYVALE, CA – April 7, 2025 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – The partnership between two undisputed symbols of Italian industry, Ducati and Lamborghini, has always been fertile ground for creating unique projects that quicken the pulse of motorbike enthusiasts and collectors worldwide, thanks to the shared racing DNA of both manufacturers.

With a history of successes, this collaboration begins an exciting new chapter. The latest extraordinary manifestation of this synergy will be revealed during Milano Design Week on April 9th.

Previous collaborations between Ducati and Lamborghini demonstrate how the pursuit of shared values—such as the authenticity of ‘Made in Italy, ‘ a commitment to sporting excellence, and pioneering design—can lead to truly original projects.

The first example was the Ducati Diavel 1260 Lamborghini , inspired by the Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 and unveiled on November 25, 2020, in a limited edition of 630 models. This motorcycle reinterpreted the stylistic hallmarks of one of the brand’s most iconic cars.

Developed from the Ducati Diavel 1260 S, the Lamborghini version was transformed in terms of its most distinctive elements. The preference for fine, lightweight materials- a hallmark of the Sant’Agata Bolognese-manufactured super sports cars shared with Ducati- is reflected in the extensive use of carbon fiber in many bike components, further enhancing its performance. The design of the Diavel 1260 Lamborghini arose from the creative synergy of the Ducati Centro Stile and the Lamborghini Centro Stile, merging the stylistic authenticity of both brands.

The success of this initial project established a strong foundation for an equally exciting second chapter: the Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini , inspired by the relentless power and advanced engineering of the Lamborghini Huracán STO.

Presented at the San Marino and Rimini Riviera Grand Prix in September 2022, this model further strengthened the bond between the two brands, showcasing the style and performance of a genuine Lamborghini super sports car in a motorcycle. This limited and numbered edition achieved remarkable success, with 630 units and an additional 63 exclusive units dedicated to Lamborghini customers, clearly acknowledging the authenticity and originality of the project.

Excitement is building around the third chapter of this remarkable partnership. Ducati and Lamborghini will celebrate their collaboration, founded on extreme performance, innovative engineering, and a shared performance DNA, during the prestigious Milano Design Week on April 9.
