Diavel AMG has just hit the market, and what should have been an event of excitement and anticipation, has turned into something awkward with the in-house performance group of Mercedes, AMG breaking its ties with the Italian superbike manufacturer, Ducati bike. Obviously, without a shadow of a doubt, it is crystal clear that the news is a consequence of their arch rival entering into the collaboration. Although, the bike units would sell, that is the one's that have already been manufactured. Audi has kept their silence on the issue so far, but the development so far must be a real disappointment for the bike lovers as the two vehicle manufacturing giants have been in one of the most successful partnerships. Their latest Diavel AMG special edition is packed with impressive features.
The bike comes with a horse power of 162 and a massive 127 Nm torque. The the Diavel Testastretta 11 degree engine is as always, a power performance engine that comes with an updated intake and exhaust port that in combination with radical adjustment of the cam timing allows the bike to achieve a superb torque at low rpm. Ducati in itself is one of the most recognized names in the bike manufacturing industry. Ducati Diavel AMG comes with a whopping 1198 cc four stroke engine that oozes power from the outset. To say that the look of the bike is muscular and macho would be an understatement. The first disclosure of the took place in Mila at the international bike show, the super cruiser bike comes with a monstrous look powered by its aerodynamics graphics.
