The red color stands out in the display “Red in Italy. The Colors of Red in the Italian Design”, inaugurated on September 12th and organized by Galleria Campari at the Italian Cultural Institute in Brussels. Present one Ducati Panigale V4 R., the result of the brand's careful engineering and aesthetic research, as well as a representative example of design within the exhibition itinerary.

The event

Free entry until Wednesday 9 October, as reported, this project is composed of five thematic sections. The specimen of Panigale V4 R provides testimony to the brand's constructive and stylistic care Ducati, alongside other representative objects of the "Made in Italy".

The specialised farming model

Characterized by solutions borrowed from competition experience, the Panigale V4 R is the most powerful series model created by the brand to date. There are various technological systems, but also connotative aspects, for example the aerodynamic offshoots in carbon fiber anchored to the front area. Elements derived from those developed for MotoGP. The fairing itself is shaped and designed by Ducati Corse together with the Ducati Style Center, maximizing aerodynamic efficiency.
It then features an engine Desmosedici Stradale R of 998 cc characterized by lightened components, obtaining a weight reduction of 2 kg compared to the V4 S model of the same name, i.e. 193 kg in running order, taking the data indicated. Once the intake phase has been optimised, the so-called "red zone" on the rev counter dial is raised, consequently acceleration is favored. It can develop a maximum power equal to 221 horses a 15.250 rpm (considering the reported EU approval values). A power peak reached 2.250 rpm higher than the 4 cc V1.103, it is underlined. Then adopting a terminal of Ducati Performance full-racing exhaust by Akrapovič a maximum power of 234 horses, reached at 15.500 rpm. Remarkable numbers.
