# Luxury Car Motorcycle Hybrids These Concept Designs Combine Ducati and Audi in Sleek Fashion By Andrew Sztein | Published 2013-04-09 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducati-and-audi References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2013/04/05/ducati-audi-ducaudi/) & [designtaxi](http://designtaxi.com/news/356922/An-Imagined-Motorbike-Concept-Of-A-Ducati-And-Audi-Collaboration) Two of the most recognizable transportation makers in the world are combined with these sleek [Ducati](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducati-panigale-v4-lamborghini) and [Audi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-smart-spinning-bike) concept hybrid designs. These Ducati and Audi hybrids may not actually be too far-fetched consdering that Audi has recently purchased Ducati and is rumored to be producing and designing [Audi branded motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-electric-mountain-bike). These Ducati and Audi designs were put together by Thibault Devauze with the help of his brother Marc. Thibault is a former intern of both Ducati and Audi when the two were still seperate entities, which means he likely has a better idea than most of what Audi might produce with their two-wheeled creations. The concept bikes feature a powerful 850CC engine and a combination of carbon fiber and light alloys for the body. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Luxury Motorcycle Car Hybrids:** Luxury automotive companies merging specialized technologies present an opportunity for hybrid vehicle-type disruption. - **Audi-branded Motorcycles:** Audi's purchase of Ducati and their recent focus on motorcycle development implies the disruption of the traditional automotive and motorcycle industries. - **Carbon Fiber-alloy Hybrids:** The use of advanced materials in transportation design presents opportunities for innovative sustainability-minded disruption. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive:** The combination of specialized technologies by luxury automakers to create hybrid vehicles presents opportunities for increased efficiency, power, and luxury. - **Motorcycles:** The entrance of Audi into the motorcycle space through the purchase of Ducati and their focus on motorcycle development presents opportunities for disruption and competition within the industry. - **Materials Science:** The use of advanced materials such as carbon fiber and light alloys in automotive and motorcycle design presents opportunities for innovative yet efficient products that disrupt traditional manufacturing. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Carbon Fiber Supercar Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducati-panigale-v4-lamborghini.md) - [Dapper Dual-Tone Superbike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-motorrad-ch4-superbike.md) - [Automotive Brand Exercise Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-smart-spinning-bike.md) - [Leather-Adorned Italian Superbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xdaviel-nera.md) - [Angular Dirt Bike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducati-adventure-scrambler.md) - [Cyberpunk-Inspired Electric Motorcycle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-motorcycle-concept1.md) - [Modular Tech-Rich Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-motorrad-x-nvidia.md) - [Hybrid Design Electric Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spirit-electric-motorcycle.md) - [Ultra-Luxe Italian Superbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panigale.md)
