Mercedes-Benz AMG ends Ducati partnership

AMG & Ducati

Now that Audi has formally taken full control of Italian superbike maker Ducati, the partnership between AMG and Ducati has been brought to an abrupt end. Well, no surprise there really.

In a brief statement AMG said:

“Since the end of 2010 a successful marketing cooperation has existed between AMG and Ducati. The company takeover by a rival car manufacturer has understandably resulted in the end of any further collaboration. The takeover of Ducati was never our aim—our focus lies clearly in developing and producing premium performance cars and we will be concentrating all our energy on this.”
