PRESS RELEASE

Kuala Lumpur, 10 February 2011 - Following the first public showing at the 64th International Motor Show in Frankfurt by Ducati and Mercedes AMG last September, the Ducati Diavel AMG officially arrives in Malaysia.

The Ducati Diavel AMG preview unit was specially flown in and is displayed at the Ducati AMG Performance Centre in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur.

“The Ducati Diavel AMG is the result of a great collaboration of two global brands that offers a great choice of greater products” according to Joint Group Executive Chairman, Datuk Wira SM Faisal Tan Sri SM Nasimuddin.

Ducati’s unique cooperation with Mercedes AMG was first announced at the 2010 Los Angeles Motor Show with a sponsorship agreement for the Ducati MotoGP Team which perfectly demonstrated the shared brand values of high performance, motorsport and excitement. The association soon developed into a rich strategy of co-marketing activities and the Diavel AMG Special Edition represents the first “co-inspired” model, elegantly combining distinctive styling features from both famous marquees.

Based upon the Diavel Carbon, the 2012 flagship model of the Diavel family features AMG’s signature 5-spoke wheel styling, carbon fibre lateral radiator grills with aluminium trim, AMG-style sport exhaust system with engraved end-caps and AMG-style horizontally ribbed seat upholstered in Alcantara®.


The model’s incredible attention to performance detail also ensures that every engine has its Desmodromic cam-timing set by hand and authenticated with the name of the engine technician engraved on the left-side engine casing.

Further underlining the model’s exclusivity, each motorcycle will have a numbered plaque on the fuel tank.

The award-winning Ducati Diavel has had massive first-year success for the Italian motorcycle manufacturer, its bold design merging the worlds of power and style with absolute precision to set a new industry standard for the segment. Ducati’s awesome Testastretta 11° engine combined with their famous chassis technology and a specially engineered 240 section rear tyre delivers mind-blowing performance balanced with user-friendly comfort and safety-enhancing electronics.

Hand-built - as with all Ducati motorcycles - the exclusive new Diavel AMG Special Edition is dressed in matte black carbon fibre bodywork with AMG’s very own “Diamond White Bright” stripe and frame colour contrasted with black wheels. The special edition wheels, seat and exhaust end-caps are all AMG branded while “AMG” is also laser-engraved into the air-duct panels either side of the fuel tank. The Ducati Diavel AMG Special Edition and exclusively designed leather jacket and helmet apparel has also available in early 2012.

Datuk Wira SM Faisal added "At NAZA we are a leading premium provider that represents both the Ducati and AMG brands through our extensive dealerships and networks of Ducati and Mercedes-Benz"

"Our unique disposition further allows the two brands to offer this global tie up here in Malaysia" he further added.

The Special Edition Ducati Diavel AMG is open to orders and are retailing at RM193,999.
