The Ducati Panigale V4 Lamborghini superbike has been launched in India and, from price, name to specs, the bike will make you stop and pay attention. Yes, the name is quite correct and refers to the inspiration behind this machine, which is the Lamborghini Revuelto super sports car. The Ducati Panigale V4 Lamborghini price in India has been set at Rs 1 crore and we reveal here exactly what kind of a ride that will translate into. The bike touts special livery, a dry clutch, an Akrapovic silencer and carbon fibre elements.
The iconic bike-maker has rolled out the Ducati Panigale V4 Lamborghini as a limited edition superbike. That means Ducati will be manufacturing just 693 units globally. India has been allocated one of these bikes, adding another unique and luxurious feeling for the owner. 63 of these bikes have been earmarked for those Lamborghini customers, Speciale Clienti, who will be able to interact directly with Centro Stile Ducati for customisation purposes, thereby making their bikes even more unique and exclusive.
Do note that this is not a one-off collab, the new Panigale V4 Lamborghini bike follows on from the Diavel 1260 Lamborghini and Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini. The central vision behind the move is to blend the best of both Ducati and Lamborghini into one top-class creation showcasing technology, performance and beauty.
The Ducati Panigale V4 Lamborghini superbike is priced at Rs 1 crore in India and now, check out what has gone into the making of this bike.
Panigale V4 Lamborghini superbike is inspired by the super sports car-maker's latest flagship model, the Revuelto. Needless to say, this mean machine has specially been targeted at collectors. The Lamborghini Revuelto is the carmaker's flagship super car with a 1,015 CV powertrain that combines a new V12 engine and three electric motors and a dual-clutch e-gearbox, making it a hybrid wonder. The bike pays homage to Lamborghini and carries the leitmotif "1963", referring to the year in which the carmaker was set up.
The collaboration has a very varied, multi-faceted, and all encompassing reach with the livery being designed alongside the Centro Stile Lamborghini. The bike's forged aluminium wheels showcase the same design as those of the Lamborghini Revuelto Ad Personam.
For the Ducati Panigale V4 Lamborghini superbike's tail section and winglets too, the designers took inspiration from the lines of the Lamborghini super car. So, what did the inspiration, from all of this, bring to Ducati Panigale V4 Lamborghini, to make for this awesome package?
Touting a Ducati Desmosedici Stradale engine, the displacement is 1,103 cc, it delivers 218.5 hp at 13,500 rpm in terms of power, has a 6-speed transmission, weighs in at just 185 kg (2kg less than the Panigale V4 s) and the seat height has been measured at 33.5 in.
The bike's livery has been placed on a black base with carbon fibre details. The Twill weave is visible and is the same as those on the Lamborghini cars.
So what is unique in this package? Well, the steering plate has been machined from solid aluminium, there is a dedicated bike cover, and there is also a dedicated key-on dash animation bearing the bike name and unit number. Its special nature is showcased by the plaque on the engine that bears the "Desmosedici Stradale" legend.
A dedicated sports configuration on the Ducati Panigale V4 Lamborghini have also boosted its performance. These include a dry clutch, billet aluminium brake level, clutch lever and counterweights round.
The brake calliper cooling ducts, an open clutch cover in carbon fibre, and a billet aluminium racing fuel cap, will benefit those looking to use the motorcycle on a track.
