Dubbed Reparto Veicoli Speciali, details of the new division are still sketchy, but it’s likely to be a two-wheeled equivalent of Aston Martin’s Q division, which makes bespoke, personalised versions of its already pricy cars for customers who want to stand out even more.
MV has so far revealed only a teaser video about the new department, showing the new RVS logo being engraved on a slab of aluminium.
The video also shows the silhouette of a scrambler-style version of the MV Agusta Brutale 800 Dragster. Like the limited-production LH44 version and the Dragster RR, it features wire wheels, but this time shod with semi-knobbly, scrambler-style tyres. It also has what appears to be an upright, round headlight instead of the normal, melted-looking Brutale unit, giving something of a retro shape to the front end.
The implication is that MV will effectively be in a position to take the place of aftermarket specials builders, creating unique machines tailored to the whims and fancies of its richest customers.
