Ducati’s past form in selling specials has given the Bolognian firm a new impetus to create the almost impossible, knowing that the wellheeled Ducatisti will fall over themselves in an attempt to own one, no matter the price. The original Superleggera (which translates, unsurprisingly, to super light) sold out in seconds, and before the cover had even been pulled from the svelte body of the new machine at a fancy shindig ahead of the Eicma show in Milan, Ducati had done all that it needed to – selling the 500 units to those targeted in a special email campaign.
