Published June 25, 2012 | 
Italy has produced some of the best things know to man. Pizza, spaghetti, Italian super models, rich playboys cruising their Vespa’s all day while flirting with hot Italian super models…and oh yeah some of the best supercars and bikes ever! Two of the most formidable opponents with wheels have come into fruition through the genius of Italian engineering. Ferrai and Ducati!
Now it’s blatantly obvious why these two are so damn good. They’re sexy to look at and have more power than you know what to do with. In fact both brands are race bred monsters, with more championship titles than you can count. But enough of the bragging, let’s talk business. What do you think might happen when you take a Ducati 1198s and put it up against a Ferrari 458 Italia? Well some of the best draw dropping racing you have ever seen!
But first let’s take a look at the specs
