Italian performance motorcycle manufacturer Ducati has launched the highly exclusive Ducati Panigale V4 Lamborghini in India at an eye-watering price of Rs 1 crore, ex-showroom. The limited-edition superbike is inspired by the Lamborghini Revuelto and is the latest collaboration between the two Italian brands. Ducati has confirmed that all units for India have already been booked, with the first motorcycle delivered in Mumbai.Globally, only 630 examples of the Panigale V4 Lamborghini will be produced, making it one of the rarest motorcycles to be brought to India. Ducati is creating an even more exclusive ‘Special Clienti’ edition, limited to just 63 units worldwide, exclusively for Lamborghini owners. These customers will have the option to customize the bike in the colors of their Lamborghini supercars.Based on the Ducati Panigale V4 S, the special edition inherits several design elements inspired by the Revuelto. The motorcycle is finished in a unique Lamborghini-inspired livery featuring exposed carbon fiber with Word Scandal, Grigio Telesto and Grigio Acceso accents. Ducati says the forged aluminum wheels, redesigned tail section and winglets are styled to reflect the design language of Lamborghini’s flagship hybrid supercar.Carbon fiber has been used extensively throughout the bike to reduce weight and increase spec. Components like fairing, mudguards, heel guards, chain guard, exhaust protection, tank protection and radiator ducts are made from carbon fiber.
Powering the motorcycle is Ducati’s 1,103cc Desmosedici Stradale V4 engine mated to a six-speed gearbox and slipper dry clutch. In this special edition, the motor produces 216 bhp at 13,500 rpm and 122.1 Nm of torque at 11,250 rpm. The bike also gets an Akrapovic titanium exhaust with carbon fiber end caps and engine calibration for higher output.The Panigale V4 Lamborghini weighs 185 kg without fuel, making it around 2 kg lighter than the standard Panigale V4 S. Ducati claims that the motorcycle delivers a power-to-weight ratio of 1.18 hp per kg, making it the lightest and most powerful model in the Panigale family.Ducati has also added several collector-focused touches to the bike. The billet aluminum triple clamp carries the model name and unit number, while the same number is laser-etched onto the aluminum ignition key badge. The instrument console gets a dedicated start-up animation displaying the bike’s name and serial number.Every Panigale V4 Lamborghini is delivered with a certificate of authenticity, a customized motorcycle cover and a special storage box for additional components. Ducati will also present the bike in a special wooden crate along with a color-matched rear stand.For customers planning to use the motorcycle on the track, Ducati has also included accessories such as a billet aluminum racing fuel cap, carbon fiber brake cooling duct, open carbon clutch cover and license plate holder removal kit. However, some of these components are not road legal.
