A concept envisioning Ducati's return to the Tourist Trophy
The Greatest Comeback
Thesis project by Mercedes Alazraki and Gabriele Menozzi
Academic year
2025-2026
The project imagines Ducati's return to the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy, reinterpreting one of the world's most iconic motorcycle races as a platform for design innovation. The Greatest Comeback develops an integrated ecosystem where performance, safety, and assistance coexist through two complementary motorcycles and a dedicated interaction system. The design redefines the racing experience by connecting rider, vehicle, and operational support within a single, coherent design language.
Students imagined the Ducati motorcycle of the future by reinterpreting the Panigale and Multistrada models through innovative vehicle design and Human–Machine Interface (HMI) concepts. The project explored new design solutions capable of combining innovation, technology, and performance while preserving the brand's identity and distinctive values within a credible vision of tomorrow's mobility.
