DUCATI Diavel AMG Special Edition (2011-2012) Specs, Performance & Photos

Ducati celebrated its partnership with AMG, the luxury-sport brand from the Mercedes group, by producing the Diavel AMG Specia Edition. The AMG model was based on the first generation of the Ducati Carbon and features both visual and mechanical upgrades, as well as a numbered plaque on the fuel tank, making each one of the units unique.

The Ducati Diavel AMG Special Edition was released in 2012 and has an individual wheel design and redesigned radiator vents. They also tuned the engine with a new exhaust and a handset cam timing. In all other departments, the model has the same specs as the base Diavel.

The 2012 Diavel AMG grabs its power from a 1198cc four-stroke Desmodromic liquid-cooled engine and a six-speed manual gearbox, and generates an output of 162 hp at 9,500 rpm and 127 Nm (94 lb-ft) of torque at 8,000 rpm.

The tubular steel Trellis frame used on all Diavel models holds tight on the suspension, which is made up of a 50 mm Marzocchi fully adjustable upside-down fork on the front, and a Sachs fully adjustable monoshock with progressive linkage on the rear.

In the braking department, the new model has two 320 mm discs, four-piston calipers, Brembo monobloc on the front, and a 265 mm disc, two-piston caliper on the rear. As a standard feature, it comes with Anti Brake System (ABS) and Ducati Traction Control (DTC).
