Ducati Diavel 1260 Lamborghini unveiled, priced from RM130,000

Automobili Lamborghini and Ducati, both corporate citizens of the city of Bologna in Italy, have teamed up to create the Ducati Diavel 1260 Lamborghini motorcycle. Only a limited number of 630 units will be available, priced at not less than US$31,995 (around RM130,000).

Inspired by Lamborghini’s first hybrid supercar
The motorcycle possesses the common values of both brands – Italian excellence, sportiness, attention to design and a meticulous devotion to detail – with inspiration coming from the Lamborghini Sian FKP 37.

Based on the Diavel 1260 S, the concept of the Diavel Lamborghini transfers the core concepts of the Sian FKP 37 to the motorcycle world, redesigning the components that most characterize the Ducati model.

The new, lightweight forged wheels explicitly recall those of the car, as do the air intakes and radiator covers made of carbonfibre that suggest superimposed floating elements on the main structure of the bike. Finally, the typical Ducati red is referenced by the colouring of the Brembo brake calipers.

Each detail of the bike, redesigned by the Centro Stile Ducati for this specific project, is made of a light and precious material such as carbonfibre, also 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 the lightweight material.

Shared values in design and execution
“The Ducati Diavel inspired by the Lamborghini Sian celebrates our shared values: we are both Italian, we are inherently sporty, and our design always distinguishes our creations,” said Andrea Ferraresi, Director of Ducati Centro Stile. “The Diavel 1260 Lamborghini has been created by using the same design language that distinguishes the Sian FKP 37.”

The livery of the Diavel 1260 Lamborghini was conceived by the collaboration between the Centro Stile Ducati and Centro Stile Lamborghini. The paints applied to the bike are the same as those used for the Sian FKP 37, with the bodywork characterized by the Verde (Green) Gea colour, while the frame, undertray and forged rims are embellished with the Oro (Gold) Electrum colour.

The important Lamborghini design elements of the hexagon and ‘Y’ motif are evident. This special version of the Diavel pays homage to the former in the shape of the exhaust and the latter in the seat’s aesthetic details.

As for the number ‘63’, this is a special number for Lamborghini as it was founded in 1963, and the number that multiplied by ten arrives at the 630 numbered units to be produced by Ducati.

Continuing with their partnership, Automobili Lamborghini and the LEGO Group have now come out with the LEGO Technic Lamborghini Sian FKP 37. In 1:8 scale, the powerful hybrid Sian FKP 37 comes in 3,696 pieces to be assembled into a car that is over 13 cm high, 260 cm long and 25 cm wide. The vivid lime-green colour and elegant golden rims of the LEGO Technic replica are available as colour and trim on the real Sian.

Unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2019, the Sian’s futuristic features are authentically recreated in the model, including a replica of the V12 engine. There’s also a moveable rear spoiler, front and rear suspension; and steering powered by a wheel complete with the Automobili Lamborghini badge.

The model also has scissor doors which open to reveal the intricately recreated cockpit. There’s even a fully-functioning 8-speed sequential gearbox controlled by a movable paddle gearshift. Owners can open the front bonnet of their LEGO Technic Lamborghini Sian to find a Lamborghini overnight bag, together with a unique serial number that unlocks special content.

They can also scan a QR code in the building instructions to access an exclusive series of videocasts by Automobili Lamborghini and LEGO experts, exploring the inspiration behind the design of the original car and the LEGO Technic model. The LEGO Technic model comes in a unique box inspired by the iconic lines, signature headlight silhouette and eye-catching colour of the Sian.

“The LEGO brick is an icon in the same way as a Lamborghini super sportscar,” said Stefano Domenicali, Chairman & CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. “They both embody the pursuit of design perfection through constant research and development, create different emotions with every interaction, and are valued by generations.”

“The LEGO bricks provide builders of all ages with endless possibilities for creation. This outstanding replica of the Lamborghini Sian FKP 37 from the LEGO Group presents a brilliant new building experience for both super sportscar fans and LEGO enthusiasts and Lamborghini is privileged to share this opportunity with the LEGO Group,” he added.

Commenting on the visionary design, Niels. B. Christiansen, LEGO Group CEO, said: “This new model truly encapsulates the pursuit of excellence embedded in the DNA of both Automobili Lamborghini and the LEGO Group. Both the 1:8 model and the reveal itself are feats of engineering innovation, pulled off by incredibly talented teams from across our two businesses. The LEGO Technic Lamborghini Sian FKP 37 is a true testament that with LEGO Technic, you can build anything your heart desires. I can’t wait to build this authentic replica of this futuristic super sportscar for real.”

LEGO stores and LEGO.COM will be offering the LEGO Technic Lamborghini Sian FKP 37 from next month, with many retailers globally having them on shelves from August 2020.
