IMOLA (Bologna, Italy) – May 17, 2024 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – Ducati pays homage to Ayrton Senna by presenting a collector’s limited-edition Monster honoring the extraordinary career of the Brazilian racing driver and the legacy he left behind. The limited number of units is a tribute to the legend: 341. 3 is the number of World Titles won by Senna in Formula 1®, while 41 is the number of Grands Prix that Ayrton finished celebrating on the podium’s top step.

The Monster Senna special edition aims to celebrate the solid relationship established between Ducati and the Brazilian champion. This mutual passion between the two motorsport legends is a passion that the Bologna-based motorcycle manufacturer still cultivates today through the relationship with Ayrton’s family and with Senna Brands. This collaboration led to the design of the special livery, designed by Centro Stile Ducati.

The choice of the Monster as the model to create this limited edition is also linked to the history of Ayrton, who was one of the very first owners of the Monster 900, which he used throughout Monte Carlo and arrived at a gala the evening of the 1993 Monaco F1® Grand Prix. Ayrton liked the Monster’s simple concept of finding joy in motorcycling: a sporty engine, perfect for road use, chassis derived from the Superbike, wide handlebars, and no fairing.

The Monster Senna pays homage to the three-time World Champion with a special livery inspired by the color of the helmet he wore in races throughout his career. Parts of the livery feature yellow, green, and blue, clear homages to the Brazilian flag.

The motorcycle dedicated by Ducati to Senna was presented in the paddock of the Enzo and Dino Ferrari racetrack at Imola during the Made in Italy and Emilia-Romagna Formula 1® Grand Prix. Claudio Domenicali (Ducati CEO) and Bianca Senna (Senna Brands CEO) shared the bond between Senna and Ducati, with a contribution also from Stefano Domenicali (Formula 1® President and CEO).
