The partnership between Lamborghini and Ducati, two iconic Italian brands, has always been fertile ground for projects from innovators with a sporting DNA.
The latest project resulting from this partnership is the Ducati Panigale V4 Lamborghini, a collector’s motorcycle unveiled during the ongoing Milan Design Week. This marks the third chapter of the collaboration between the two brands, following the Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini and the Diavel 1260 Lamborghini.
The inspiration behind the Panigale V4 is the Lamborghini Revuelto, the first hybrid super sports car HPEV (High Performance Electrified Vehicle) from Automobili Lamborghini, setting a new benchmark in performance, technology, and dynamics.
The Revuelto offers pure driving pleasure with a super sports car delivering 1,015 hp generated by a propulsion system that combines the power of a new V12 internal combustion engine with three high-density electric motors and an innovative dual-clutch transmission, allowing it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds and reach a top speed of over 350 km/h.
These impressive numbers served as a starting point and inspiration for the creation of the Panigale V4 Lamborghini, which is technically based on the new V4 S, a particularly advanced motorcycle thanks to an integrated and balanced approach between aerodynamics and design, an extremely efficient chassis, and important electronic innovations such as the Ducati Vehicle Observer (DVO) and the Race eCBS.
To create the V4 Lamborghini, Ducati’s Centro Stile collaborated with Lamborghini to design the unmistakable paint job and a series of exclusive details inspired by the Revuelto, resulting in a limited edition motorcycle of 630 numbered units.
The forged aluminum wheels were specifically designed for this motorcycle and feature the same style as those of the Revuelto, while Ducati’s designers reworked the rear and the fenders to follow the lines of the supercar from the Sant’Agata Bolognese house.
The Lamborghini Panigale V4 stands out with its paint based on a black carbon fiber with visible texture, details in Verde Scandal, Grigio Telesto, and Grigio Acheso, and a specific seat inspired by the interior of the Revuelto.
The motorcycle is equipped with an approved Akrapovič titanium silencer with carbon covers that, along with a specific engine calibration, raises the maximum power of the Lamborghini Panigale V4 to 218.5 hp.
The high number of carbon fiber components, combined with the silencer, reduces the weight of the motorcycle to 185 kg, nearly 2 kg less than the Panigale V4 S, resulting in a power-to-weight ratio that increases from 1.15 to 1.18 hp/kg.
Ducati has revealed that the Panigale V4 Lamborghini is the most powerful and lightweight in the Italian brand’s motorcycle lineup, and that each of the 630 units of this new exclusive motorcycle comes with a certificate of authenticity and a specific cover, along with a specially customized box to match the paint.
Additionally, each Lamborghini Panigale V4 will be delivered in an exclusive custom-made wooden box, with a specific rear stand that will once again match the motorcycle’s paint.
It is already known that deliveries of the Ducati Panigale V4 Lamborghini are scheduled to begin next month in September.
