You take a Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini worth 70,000 euros and paint it with your fingers, and thus the “Centauro” is born, not the exclusive motorcycle that follows
It is not surprising that Borgo Panigale and Sant’Agata Bolognese regularly collaborate, one of the latest examples of such a relationship. very limited edition Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini Speciale Clienti. Despite this, there was still room to take one more step forward.
Thus was born “Centauro”, the creation of the talented artist Paolo Troilo based on one of the already exclusive Ducati Streetfighter V4. A unique motorcycle that continues the “Minotauro”, also the artist’s work on the body of the Lamborghini Huracán EVO, in a new example of the fusion of art and iconic design of both brands. The world premiere of “Centauro” took place at ART CITY in Bologna.
“Centaur” can be considered a sequel to “Minotauro”, Troilo’s debut film, shot on a Lamborghini Huracán EVO.
artistic heritage
As we say “Centaur” is the perfect reflection and legacy of “Minotauro”. A picture of the 2021 Lamborghini Hucaran EVO has been unveiled. Now the canvas chosen by Paolo Troilo to develop his signature finger painting technique, unique in the world, has become one of the few examples of the Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini Speciale Clienti. Both cars have now teamed up for the Art of Mythmaking event.
“Centaur”, in turn, is a striking example of the artistic style of the artist from Taranto., as his final image is based on this hyper-realistic and exclusive painting technique. In this sense, the shapes and volumes of Streetfighter V4 symbolize figure of a man with crossed arms emerging from the sides of a tank and which are diluted to form an abstract geometric composition. Myth and reality.
Artist Paolo Troilo has elevated an exclusive motorcycle like the Ducati Streetfighter V4 into a work of art.
The idea for the event “The Art of Creating Myths” was born more than a year ago with the premiere of Lamborghini V4 Streetfighter, a model that marked the second chapter of the Ducati-Lamborghini collaboration after the Diavel 1260 Lamborghini. This model, which at that time was presented in a limited edition of 630 pieces, gave rise to another, more exclusive edition, of only 63 pieces, called the Speciali Clienti. All in the image and likeness of the sports cars of selected customers. The owner of Minotauro simply had to close the circle and ask Paolo Troiro to create “Centauro”.
Ducati and art
“Centaur” and “Minotaur” represent a union of two world famous brands. A unique project, promoted by one of the most selected clients of both manufacturers, which goes beyond any commercial relationship and becomes an icon. In fact, both cars remained on display together for several days. A prime example of Ducati and Lamborghini’s support for the 2024 Arte Fiera in Bologna.
The figure of a man with crossed arms appears on both sides of the tank.
Actually, Ducati played a very active role at the Bologna Contemporary Art Fair. promoting “Percorso”, a project that creates a route connecting some art galleries dedicated to drawing, as well as creating prizes for the most outstanding works in them. In addition, Ducati also presented the marble sculpture “Fortitudo Mea in Levitate” at the exhibition.
