A century of history is worthy of celebration, and Ducati is doing it in ways that we can describe as peculiar, daring and, especially, different. On this occasion we are not facing a work of art, but rather a collaboration with Pirelli and SACS Marine, which will give rise to a new model within the Pirelli Speedboats range.
It will be the first time that Ducati participates in a nautical project of this type, and it will do so on a basis that already exists and is quite consolidated. And Pirelli and SACS Marine have been working together for more than two decades in this sector, in which Ducati now enters, contributing above all its design capacity and brand identity.
The new model, of which there are no details for now, has been developed expressly to celebrate the centenary and will feature the participation of the Ducati Stile Center. Its decoration will be inspired by one of Borgo Panigale’s most exclusive motorcycles, although at the moment the brand has not revealed which one.
Yes, he has announced that there will be clear references to the world of competition and that lines, colors and different details will seek to transfer some of the most recognizable features of his motorcycles to the water.
Inspired by a Ducati that still remains a secret
That will be precisely one of the great attractions of the presentation. Ducati has not yet shown the boat in its entirety nor has it revealed which model has served as a reference, so we will have to wait for its official premiere to find out how far that connection goes.
Claudio Domenicali, CEO of Ducati, explained that the three companies share the same way of understanding performance and has announced that fans will quickly recognize the elements that link this project with the Italian firm.
The boat will become part of the Pirelli Speedboats range, and marks a new foray by Ducati outside its usual territory during its centenary celebrations.
For now, data on dimensions, engine, performance or price have not been communicated. All these details will be known during the world presentation scheduled for the 2026 Cannes Nautical Festival, which is already underway, where it will also be revealed which Ducati has served as inspiration.
