A sportscar from Ducati?

COMBINE TWO Ducati Desmosedici engines to make a 440bhp V8, slot it into a lightweight, handbuilt two-seater carbon fibre sports car and this is what you might get.

Penned by designed Anthony Collard, the 'Desmotrentadue' (Iti talk for 32 valves) is a concept idea of what a Ducati four-wheeler might look like. 450kg meets 440bhp: F1 acceleration here we come.

OK, it's a car, but we like it. It's about time another bike manufacturer took on the KTM X-Bow.
