Short version: AMG and Ducati are to get involved in co-marketing activities, and events involving each others customers, and some of this will be channeled through AMG Private Lounge.

All I can say to you guys up there in the US, you lucky lucky b*stards!! The AMG Private Lounge worldwide site isn't yet functional for us downunder types

Bring it on!

Bring it baby!

Nice

Hopefully Ducati will share the secrets of marketing factory "competition only" exhausts and ecu tunes in the US with AMG

I knew it was a matter of seconds before motokas chimed in on this one being a fellow Ducati owner!

Damn BT your monster is beautiful

Wifey even approves of this collaboration (lets see if she's still a fan when the 848 arrives in the garage next spring)


not as pretty as every wheel set you've choosen to date (can't wait to see what's next)

@Motorkas:
Your posting has two pics - above the familiar rump of the E55 the new D55 AMG...??LOL
Brgds

hopefully they don't share their temperamental nature along with it!

and just in time for this thread...i just got my girl prepped for track days and riding season.

I was at the show yesterday and the MB / Ducati press announcement was easily the biggest gathering of the day. Lotus unveiled an entire new model lineup (4 cars) and didn’t get as big a crowd.

I've been to the MotoGP races in Indy for the last few years with a bunch of other 'Busa guys. BMW has a huge presence there - using their M brand/cars for advertising and pacing the races. Ducati also has a big presence at the race. It will be nice to see AMG there in the future

I don't have a Ducati, but my bike runs 9.7s and I can spend 10hrs/day in the saddle (my bike is the 02 blue/black in the foreground)




If you ride, it's really cool to ride to the track. They park all the bikes inside the track, so you get great parking and lots of eye candy.

Sounds like wins on both sides of the the table.

Awesome!

Damn...makes me want to sell my Porsche:



And get back into the naked sport scene (I've always wanted a Monster - but this was my stripped/jetted/lifted Bandit):
