Pirelli 44 Ducati Edition: 1,500 hp RIB Revealed
The Pirelli 44 Ducati Edition brings Ducati into boating for the first time, combining the existing Pirelli RIB platform with several Ducati-inspired details.
The project uses triple Mercury Racing 500R outboards, producing 1,500 hp, while Ducati engineers contributed to aerodynamic elements around the engine installation.
Developed from the Pirelli 42 platform, the 44 gains additional length and introduces revised exterior lines, together with changes intended to improve stability.
Its Ducati connection includes a dedicated matt red finish inspired by the Superleggera Centenario, unique graphics, specific materials and several details developed for this version.
Production will be limited to 26 boats, reflecting the collaboration between Pirelli, SACS Tecnorib and Ducati around performance-focused design and engineering.
