Your First Look at the Supreme x Ducati Superbike 🏍️

[Hypedrive] February 16, 2024 Weekly Digest 🔥 Supreme Works with Ducati on Collaborative Streetfighter V4 S TLDR: Supreme is going big for Spring/Summer 2024, working with legendary motorcycling brand Ducati for a collab superbike.⁠⁠Why It Matters: Leave it to Supreme to create something truly incredible for its "accessories" line of releases, this time around on a Ducati Streetfighter V4 S. The bike alone is already a monster – 208 horsepower Desmosedici Stradale engine, 13,000 rpm red line and channeled throughout a 392 lb. unit weight. The collaboration is fairly expected but executed right, with an enlarged Supreme box logo wrapping around the frame, at the front and rear wheel covers, and even in the barrels of the wheels. ⁠There's also a collaborative Corsair-X helmet with Arai in the SS24 drop. The DOT and SNELL certified, triple collabo head piece follows the same white/red color scheme as the bike, but also features a playful rider graphic on the rear.⁠⁠Read the full article [here](. --------------------------------------------------------------- ‍💎 Mercedes-Benz Unveils G 550 "Stronger Than Diamonds" Edition TLDR: Mercedes-Benz has just shown off official imagery of its "STRONGER THAN DIAMONDS" edition G550. As the name suggests, the limited-to-300 car has actual diamonds in its production.⁠⁠Why It Matters: Caveat: the diamonds are only located in the locking pins for each of the four doors. Nevertheless, each precious stone set in the stainless steel pins measure .25 carat in weight and, according to Mercedes-Benz and the Responsible Jewelry Council (RJC), are ethically, ecologically, and locally sourced.⁠The rest of the vehicle is far from standard as well. The exterior is clad in MANUFAKTUR Rosewood Grey Magno paint, offset by a two-toned roof and matching black wheels. STRONGER THAN DIAMONDS branding is also found in the illuminated door sills, front passenger grab handle, key fob and more. Rose contrast stitching and deep pile floor mats extend the luxury angle even more for this highly limited model.⁠Read the full article [here](. --------------------------------------------------------------- 🌬️ Pagani Presents Its Latest Masterpiece: The Huayra R Evo TLDR: Pagani has just unveiled its latest creation: the Huayra R Evo, its most insane open-top hypercar ever.⁠⁠⁠Why It Matters: The IndyCar and LM racing-inspired design is part of Pagani's "Arte in Pista" program, which allows its reserved Track Hypercar clientele to create something truly special. As it stands, the Huayra R Evo is 7.5 inches longer than the standard Huayra body, utilizing an extended "longtail" design that's both aerodynamically superior as well as stunningly gorgeous. Along with other enhancements to the front hood and spoiler, the R Evo sees an increase of 45% in downforce, making it even more planted on the racetrack than ever before.⁠Power-wise, the Huayra R Evo has a Pagani V12-R Evo engine co-developed by HWA AG that produces 900 horsepower and 568 lb-ft of torque. Carbon ceramic CCM-R brakes and specially developed Pirelli P Zero™ Slick tires help keep the R Evo on the track.⁠⁠⁠Read the full article [here](. --------------------------------------------------------------- 🔴 One of 19 Ferrari 250 “Pontoon Fendered” Testa Rossas Is Up for Auction TLDR: Sotheby’s Sealed has announced the auction of one of 19 Ferrari 250 “Pontoon Fendered” Testa Rossas, which it regards as “the most beautiful Ferrari ever built.”⁠Why It Matters: The 250 “Pontoon Fendered” Testa Rossa is celebrated for its beauty and remarkable performance, securing its place as a cornerstone model in the world’s most prestigious automotive collections.

As such, the model has honorific elements, such as the oversized scorpion logo on the roof and lateral branding across the doors. 17" gold alloy wheels and piston head decals continue that color scheme, but it doesn't end there.⁠The true tribute is under the hood, where the 75º Anniversario adopts the 1.4L T-Jet engine and boosted with a Garrett GT 1446 turbocharger. This results in 180 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, impressive for its minuscule size.⁠⁠Read the full article [here](. --------------------------------------------------------------- [Hypebeast] [Download the Hypebeast App]( On iOS & Android Devices [hypebeast instagram]( --------------------------------------------------------------- [Manage Subscriptions]( Policy]( You are subscribed to Hypebeast’s marketing emails with the address: {EMAIL} Contact [subscription@hypebeast.com](mailto: subscription@hypebeast.com) for assistance on any enquiries. 2023 Hypebeast Limited.
