With his automotive customizing atelier Garage
Italia Customs, Lapo Elkann and company have shown they can make some rather
eye-catching cars. As it turns out, though, their talents can be equally
applied as well to motorcycles – like this unique Ducati Diavel. A joint
project between Garage Italia Customs and Italia Independent (Lapo's other
company), the Italian chopper has been decked out, as you can see, all in blue.
It features an array of exotic materials, including
carbon fiber, Alutex woven aluminum, and Alcantara to give it a rather unique
visual approach and demonstrate just how much these cruisers beg to be
customized.
Though Lapo is the brother of Fiat Chrysler chairman
John Elkann and Ducati is owned by the rival Volkswagen Group, this isn't
actually the first time he's worked on a special Ducati, following Italia
Independent's custom Scrambler from a year and a half ago.
Ducati also
did a Diesel Jeans edition Diavel – and given Lapo's connection to the denim
brand's founder Renzo Rosso, we wouldn't be surprised if he'd had a hand in
both, much as he did in the Gucci edition Cinquecento,
