Ducati Panigale V4 Lamborghini Debuts

Ducati's latest collaboration with its sister-company Lamborghini has dropped, and it is drop-dead gorgeous. Meet the Panigale V4 Lamborghini.

When it comes to ultra-limited-edition collaboration motorcycles, they are often more miss than hit. But Ducati has been at this game a while and knows how to work with its Volkswagen Group sister-company Lamborghini to produce something not only rare but as tasty as a rare steak too.

The third iteration of the collaboration - the Panigale V4 Lamborghini - is truly something special in a world overun by "limited edition" motorcycles.

“With the Panigale V4 Lamborghini, the partnership between these two icons of Italy's Motor Valley is enriched by a new chapter that confirms and reinforces the values that inspire us: Italian excellence, sportiness and performance, with a design that is always distinctive,” declared Claudio Domenicali, CEO of Ducati.

“We were inspired by the Lamborghini Revuelto, thus creating an association between the two companies’ most exclusive and representative models. This choice confirms our constant desire to offer enthusiasts unique collector's items of extraordinary beauty which can provide the most exciting on-road experience.”

Limited to a production run of only 630 units, the Panigale V4 Lamborghini takes its visual cues from the Sant’Agata Bolognese-based manufacturer with a dark carbon fibre body offset by searing green accents.

The inspiration behind the Panigale V4 is the Revuelto , Automobili Lamborghini's first HPEV (High Performance Electrified Vehicle) hybrid super sports car, the new benchmark in terms of performance, on-board technology and driving thrills. The absolute driving pleasure experienced behind the wheel is provided in no small part by the total 1015 hp generated by the powertrain, which combines the power of a new V12 internal combustion engine with three high-density electric motors and an innovative dual-clutch transverse gearbox.

The Revuelto delivers performance and driving thrills never seen before. The extensive use of carbon fiber and other ultralight materials has led to the best weight-to-power ratio in Lamborghini history: 1.75 kg/CV. This translates into top performance, with 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration in just 2.5 seconds, and maximum speed of over 350 km/h (220 mph).

To create the V4 Lamborghini, Ducati's Centro Stile worked alongside Lamborghini’s to design the unmistakable livery and a series of unique details inspired by the Revuelto, creating an exclusive bike limited to 630 numbered examples.

The forged aluminum wheel rims have been specifically designed for this motorbike and feature the same style as those of the Revuelto, while the tail piece and wings have been reworked by Ducati's designers following the lines of the super sports car from Sant’Agata Bolognese.

The Panigale V4 Lamborghini is rendered particularly unique by the livery based on the black color of carbon fiber with visible texture, details in Verde Scandal, Grigio Telesto and Grigio Acheso, and the dedicated seat, which takes inspiration from the interior of the Revuelto.

As further proof of the attention to every single detail in this collaboration between the two brands, the bodywork and remaining components such as the heat shield, heel guard, and front and rear mudguards are entirely in carbon fibre, using the same weave featured in Lamborghini’s super sports cars. On the bike’s symmetry line, where the weave intersects, the typical herringbone design is found, the result of artisanal work of the highest precision.

The bike is equipped with an approved Akrapovič titanium silencer with carbon end caps, which, together with a dedicated calibration for the engine, bring the maximum power of the Panigale V4 Lamborghini to 218.5 horsepower*. The high number of carbon fiber components, combined with the silencer, bring the weight of the bike down to 185 kg, almost 2 kg less than the Panigale V4 S, with a power-to-weight ratio that goes from 1.15 to 1.18 HP/Kg. The Panigale V4 Lamborghini is the most powerful and lightest of the family.

The specifications of the Panigale V4 Lamborghini are rounded off by the dry clutch and adjustable footrests, brake and clutch levers, and counterweights made from billet aluminum. Those wanting to use their motorcycle on the track will have a racing tank cap in billet aluminum, brake caliper conveyors, a carbon fiber open clutch cover, and a license plate holder removal kit, all included with the bike.

The bike is further enhanced by the plate on the engine bearing its name (Desmosedici Stradale), the triple clamp machined from billet aluminium, and the dedicated dashboard animation at key-on, including the name of the motorbike and the example number. The same number is also laser-etched onto the aluminum badge of the ignition key.

Each Panigale V4 Lamborghini is supplied with a certificate of authenticity and dedicated motorbike cover delivered in a special personalized box matching the livery. Moreover, every Panigale V4 Lamborghini will be delivered in an exclusive customised wooden crate, complete with a dedicated rear stand, once again matching the bike's livery.

In addition to the 630 bike production run of the Panigale V4 Lamborghini, an additional 63 bikes will be offered exclusively to Lamborghini customers, dubbed the Panigale V4 Lamborghini Speciale Clienti.

It is a unique opportunity, which takes on an even greater meaning for Revuelto owners: the possibility to extend the customization of their super sports car to their bike will allow them to create the perfect pairing, a genuine custom garage where every detail reflects the customer’s identity.

In addition, for the Speciale Clienti it will also be possible to customize the engraving on the sides of the triple clamp, and the rear stand will be painted in the same chosen livery, making each example a unique and unrepeatable piece.

Deliveries of the Ducati Panigale V4 Lamborghini will commence in September 2025. NZ pricing is yet to be announced at the time of writing.
