Aggressive 147 gets unique trim and badging

09th December 2007

It’s a heady mix of stylish metal from the Turin car marque and neat touches from motorbike firm Ducati.

Lowered suspension and customised livery, along with chrome Ducati Corse logos below the indicators and on the tailgate, provide the 147 with a suitably aggressive stance. Classic Ducati cues include red highlights on the edging of the 18-inch alloys, as well as on the brake calipers, seat stitching, steering wheel, gearlever and handbrake. The special 147 features the new 170bhp 1.9-litre JTDM diesel, giving 0-60mph in eight seconds, and is on sale here in April.
