The Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini is inspired by the super-performing Lamborghini Huracán STO and built on the technical base of the 2023 Panigale V4 S. Check out the presentation of this super limited (630+63 units worldwide) below!..
By applying the technical base of the 2023 Panigale V4 S and integrating elements that they say characterize’s the DNA of Lamborghini, Ducati has created a hyper-exclusive model. The bike will be produced in a numbered series limited to 630+63 units and it reworks the concepts that gave life to the Lamborghini Huracán STO.
The Huracán STO is the highest-performing model ever made of the Lamborghini Huracán family. Lamborghini style features have been transferred to the Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini, starting with the forged wheels made specifically for this bike with the design of the Huracán STO, including a single titanium locking nut, also with a Lamborghini design.
Ducati have added more Lamborghini STO styling on the front mudguard, tank cover, belly pan and tail, all new components, grille extractors, vents and air intakes. Specifically, the mudguard is inspired by the integrated air vents in the Lamborghini “cofango”, the extractors on the belly pan follow the cooling intakes of the rear brakes of the Huracán STO, those present on the side covers of the tank recall the vents on the front fenders of the car while the extractors on the single-seater tail refer to those on the bonnet of the Lamborghini. The seat is also inspired by the finish of the seats of the Huracán STO thanks to the presence of highlights in the same colour as the superstructures.
The Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini is enhanced by: adjustable rider foot pegs, lightened brake, clutch levers in billet aluminium (in collaboration with Rizoma), while the heel guards, the saddle pad, dashboard cover and ignition switch cover as well as the sprocket protection made of the special carbon fibre used for the bodywork components.
The side view of the Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini is also enhanced by the Akrapovič exhaust silencer in titanium with carbon fibre end cap. The name of the model and the serial number of the bike are shown on a metal plate inserted in the central tank cover.
The number is also machined from solid on an aluminium insert of the ignition key and appears on the TFT dashboard during ignition, together with an animation showing the Ducati and Lamborghini badges. Brembo wings and brake calipers are also coloured in Arancio Dac, the latter with a contrasting black logo. The Öhlins stays and fork legs have been painted black.
In addition to the 630 Verde Citrea/Arancio Dac units, Ducati is offering an even more exclusive series of 63 bikes, called Speciale Clienti, which are only available to 63 Lamborghini customers. These customers, through a direct collaboration with the Centro Stile Ducati, will be able to configure their Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini Speciale Clienti with body colours and wheels exactly like their Lamborghini. It will also be possible for them to choose the colours of the brake calipers among those included in the palette (Yellow, Red, Black and California Orange, in addition to the standard colour) and the details of the saddle among the four available versions.
The heart of the Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini is the 1,103cc Desmosedici Stradale engine with a power output of 208 hp (Euro5 EU version), characterized by a counter-rotating shaft, desmodromic distribution with four valves per cylinder and Twin Pulse firing order derived from MotoGP. On the Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini the engine is characterized by having a dry clutch, as on the Ducati MotoGP and Superbike. The aluminium Front Frame uses the engine as a stressed element.
The suspension is sorted by Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 semi-active units, while the Brembo braking system relies on Stylema calipers and 330mm discs. The aerodynamic package, based on carbon biplane wings integrated into the tank side covers, stabilizes the bike at high speeds without compromising agility and handling. The kerb weight is just 197.5kg.
The Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini is supplied with a series of accessories that increase its appeal and ease of set-up for track use. They start with the open carbon fibre cover for the dry clutch and continue with the caps for the removal of the number plate and rear-view mirrors, a racing fuel cap and a motorcycle cover in the same colour as the bodywork.
The equipment is completed by an aluminium certificate of authenticity, on which the frame and engine numbers are shown, to guarantee the originality of the bike. This unique collaboration is reinforced by the possibility, reserved for Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini owners, to complete the look with a limited edition helmet, jacket and leathers. Furthermore, for purchasers of the special customer version, the leathers can also be customized in the colours used for the configuration, limited to the choice offered by Dainese.
Deliveries of the Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini will start in April 2023.
