advrider Posted Monday at 10:27 AM Share Posted Monday at 10:27 AM Ducati and supercar manufacturer Lamborghini have been collaborating for a while now. The collaboration sees the two companies sharing design philosophies to build limited-edition, high-dollar exclusive machines. The first collaboration in 2021 saw a Ducati Diavel get the Lamborghini treatment. Then, in 2022, Ducati and the raging bull collaborated using a Ducati Streetfighter. This time around, Ducati’s Panigale V4 S Superbike gets the Lamborghini treatment. Inspiration For The Ducati Panigale V4 Lamborghini The new machines were introduced at the Teatro Alcione in Milan during Milan Design Week. This latest episode of Ducati/Lamborghini collaboration takes its inspiration from the aforementioned Ducati V4 and Lamborghini’s newest supercar, the Lamborghini Revuelto. According to Ducati’s press release, the combination represents “…the ultimate expression of sports performance for their respective brands, showcasing the most refined, high-performance engines that reflect their technical philosophy and design approach: the Ducati Desmosedici Stradale engine and the Lamborghini V12.” What’s A Revuelto? The Revuelto is Lamborghini’s first high-performance electrified vehicle (HPEV) hybrid supercar. Its hybrid system gives the Revuelto a claimed 1,015 hp, using a new V12 internal combustion engine, three high-density electric motors, and a dual-clutch transverse gearbox. As you would expect of a high-dollar supercar, the Revuelto features lots of carbon fiber and other ultralight advanced materials. As a package, the Revuelto has the best power-to-weight ratio in Lamborghini’s history. Lamborghini says that the car can sprint from 0 to 62 mph in 2.5 seconds and has a maximum speed of 220 mph. The Panigale V4 Lamborghini and the Lamborghini Revuelto.

The bike’s forged aluminum wheels are the same style as those found on the Revuelto. Ducati also reworked the the tailpiece and wings to follow the lines of the Revuelto. The machine’s bodywork consists of a black carbon fiber base with visible texture complemented by the colors Verde Scandal, Grigio Telesto, and Grey Acheso (basically green and grey). The bike’s saddle is said to draw inspiration from the interior of the Revuelto. In addition, many other parts on the bike are made entirely from carbon fiber, including the heat shield, heel guard, and front and rear mudguards.

For those interested in using this bike on the track, Ducati adds a racing tank cap in billet aluminum, brake caliper conveyors, a carbon-fiber open clutch cover, and a license plate holder removal kit. Together with the wealth of carbon fiber parts, a titanium Akropovic exhaust reduces the Panigale V4 Lamborghini’s weight to a claimed 408 pounds (without fuel), 5 pounds less than the Panigale V4 S, making this machine the lightest of Ducati’s Panigale V4 family. Exclusivity Only 630 of the special Panigale V4 Lamborghini will be made. In keeping with the projection of exclusivity, the Panigale V4 Lamborghini receives a nameplate on the engine, which bears the name “ Desmosedici Stradale; a triple clamp machined from billet aluminum, and a dedicated dashboard animation upon key-on, featuring the name of the motorbike and its example number. This same number is also laser etched onto the aluminum badge of the ignition key. Buyers will also receive a limited edition helmet, jacket, and leather race suit, all featuring the same color scheme as their Panigale V4 Lamborghini bikes. Photo: Ducati Photo: Ducati The Price Of Exclusivity If you are interested in the Panigale V4 Lamborghini, its price is $78,400 ($88,800 CAN). But fear not. If one of the 630 Panigale V4 Lamborghinis is not exclusive enough for you, Ducati has an even more exclusive bike for you. Ducati is also creating an even more exclusive series, which it calls the Speciale Clienti (Special Client). The Speciale Clienti will only be available to 63 Lamborghini customers.
