Ducati and Lamborghini have come together to unveil a limited edition superbike called the Ducati Panigale V4 Lamborghini, which combines performance and visual elegance all in one. It is a new chapter in the partnership between the two brands that started with the Diavel 1260 Lamborghini, and continued with the Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini.
A tribute to the Lamborghini Revuelto
The Panigale V4 Lamborghini draws direct inspiration from the Revuelto supercar. Ducatis’s Centro Stile partnered Lamborghini’s design team to create a livery and bodywork that emulates the sharp and aggressive lines alongside the aerodynamic characteristics of Revuelto.
Important features like the forged aluminum wheels replicating the Revuelto’s design and the tail section and winglets sculpted to showcase the supercar’s contour have been reinterpreted.
The Twill weave pattern of carbon fiber Lamborghini’s supercars use showcases Carbon Fiber elements on this motorcycle which complements the bodywork. This extensive use of carbon fiber not only improves the appearance of the bike, it also provides the bike with a lighter structure.
According to Claudio Domenicali, CEO of Ducati: “With the Panigale V4 Lamborghini, the partnership between these two icons of Italy’s Motor Valley is enriched by a new chapter that confirms and reinforces the values that inspire us: Italian excellence, sportiness and performance, with a design that is always distinctive,”.
Performance: enhanced power and precision
Ducati’s Desmosedici Stradale 1,103 cc V4 engine is the heart of the Panigale V4 Lamborghini. With a homologated Akrapovič silencer of titanium alloy with carbon end caps, and dedicated engine calibration, this motorcycle achieves maximum power output of 218.5 hp, making it 2.5 hp stronger than the standard Panigale V4.
Along with the 408 lbs (185 kg) weight, this power combine uses translates to the jaw dropping power-to-weight ratio of 1.18 hp/kg.
This motorcycle comes with dry clutches, adjustable footpegs, dially cut brakes and cluth levers, and counterweights all designed to tailors make riding better.
Ducati enhances customization options for track lovers by offering a billet aluminum racing fuel cap, cooling ducts for the brake calipers, a semi-open carbon fiber clutch cover, and a kit for removing the rearview mirror and license plate.
Exclusivity: limited production and customization
The Panigale V4 Lamborghini is a true collector’s dream with production limited to 630 units. Ducati also adds a more exclusive Speciale Clienti series of 63 units, a tribute to the year Lamborghini was founded: 1963.
The Panigale V4 Lamborghini was made for a very specific group of customers, including collectors, track enthusiasts, design aficionados and track enthusiasts. And, of course, they must have the means to afford such an exclusive piece.
Owners of the Speciale Clienti edition have the chance to individually personalize their motorcycles and design the color scheme of the bike which includes the seat, brake calipers, logos, wheels, and Plexiglass, alongside the color of their personal Lamborghini, in collaboration with Ducati’s Centro Stile.
Each motorcycle is delivered in an exclusive box featuring the livery of the bike. The progressive unit number is also engraved on the aluminum ignition key tab alongside the ignition key, heightening the exclusivity. In addition, the box includes a cover tailored specifically to the bike and certificate of authenticity.
Every single motorcycle also features a dedicated key-on dash animation showcasing the bike’s name and unit number alongside a solid aluminum steering plate which is machined.
The Panigale V4 Lamborghini showcases the shared values of Ducati and Lamborghini which includes relentless pursuit of performance, cutting-edge technology, and design craftsmanship like no other.
This motorcycle is a stunning representation of the Italian engineering spirit, and a rare collaboration where form and function are equally prioritized, boasting breath-taking performance while capturing the innovative spirit of Italy’s automotive history.
