When Audi bought Ducati last year, the cooperation between the Borgo Panigale-based manufacturer and AMG - Mercedes-Benz’s sport division - was obviously dead and buried, but before the two brands were forced to go separate ways, some fruit of their brief passion could actually to see the light of the day. One of those fruits is the Ducati Diavel AMG Special Edition, which was introduced in September 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show with the intention of making it the ‘flagship’ of the Diavel line-up for the following year.
Just a few weeks after launching its rendition of the Ducati Diavel Carbon, Vilner - the renowned Bulgarian tuner, mainly known for its classy car interiors, that’s getting more and more into motorcycles - introduces its own reinterpretation of the Diavel AMG, a project specifically commissioned by a client who wanted to make sure he had the most exclusive and expensive version of this already pretty rare model in the whole world. It is basically a cosmetic enhancement as both engine and chassis were left untouched.
Improving something produced by Ducati and honed by AMG was not an easy challenge, but Vilner somehow pulled it off once again. In the comparison with the original model, the first things you notice are the new bits in angel-pearl white color - synchronized with white tube frame - such as the new mask on the headlight and new white elements around the tail-lights. Then we have new air ducts, trimmed with black leather straps and contrasting white stitching, new covers for the lower part of the fork and a smaller tail. Vilner signed its latest masterpiece with a cool badge on the tank, but did not touch the already impressive rims and saddle provided by AMG.
