A DESIGN INSPIRED BY THE DUCATI SUPERLEGGERA V4 CENTENARIO
The visual identity of the PIRELLI 44 Ducati Edition takes inspiration from the Ducati Superleggera V4 Centenario. Its exclusive livery was developed in collaboration with the Ducati Centro Stile.
As a result, the boat features distinctive colours and racing-inspired graphics. The tubes also feature a unique pattern, handcrafted by Pirelli’s research and development specialists.
Moreover, this design takes inspiration from the Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP tyre tread. This detail creates a direct connection between the motorcycle and the boat.
Every element contributes to a recognisable Ducati identity on the water. It is much more than a simple special-edition colour scheme.
1,500 HORSEPOWER: AN EXCLUSIVE ENGINE CONFIGURATION
Performance is at the heart of the PIRELLI 44 Ducati Edition. This special version features three Mercury Racing 500 hp outboard engines.
Together, they deliver an impressive total output of 1,500 horsepower. Furthermore, specific details inspired by the world of racing reinforce its connection with Ducati.
The engine configuration is paired with a sporty double-stepped hull. Designed by the Mannerfelt Design Team, this hull contributes to the dynamic character of the Pirelli 44.
As a result, the boat takes its place among the most distinctive high-performance maxi-RIBs in its category.
