Ducati Panigale V4 S 2020 and Scott Redding: power and speed on the Valencia track [VIDEO]

Energy and agility. A concentration of power that supports the rider Scott Redding and the sparkling dynamism of the new Ducati Panigale V4S on the track of Valencia.

Deprived of only mirrors with racing exhaust Akrapovich, lower rear spring rate of 80 N/mm compared to 85 N/mm and slick tyres, as reported, the rider riding the new example of Panigale V4 S he completed the best lap of the track Ricardo Tormo in 1'34.5″. A high-sounding time, as witnessed in the proposed video.
Among the interesting aspects of the sports car shaped by the specialists of Ducati Corse, a refined electronic equipment with different systems including Ride-by-Wire, a high-performance braking system combined with a high-performance chassis, a chassis “Front-Frame” and a regulation interface OBTi (Objective Based Tuning Interface).
The Panigale V4 S can be distinguished by a dry weight of 174 kg, slightly smaller than the 175 kg of the Panigale V4. Among the other elements indicated: Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 suspension and steering damper, an Öhlins NIX-30 fork and Öhlins TTX 36 rear shock absorber, lithium ion battery, specific grips and Marchesini forged aluminum rims. The saddle is 835 mm high.
Thrust is transmitted by a 4 cc V90 engine with 1.103° banks, which generates 214 horsepower a 13.000 rpm and a pair of 124 Nm a 10.000 rpm.
Also highlighted is theAero Pack with wing elements in the front area, defined by Ducati Corse and the Ducati Style Center from the first experimental phase in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD technique), to development in the wind tunnel up to the approval.
Various elements of the package, such as a new plexiglas with increased fairing, optimized and wider fairings based on the offshoots, extractors with a reported increase in cooling flows for water radiators (+6%) and oil (+16%) and the monoplanar aerodynamic appendages indicated. Elements made up of a trapezoidal matrix, tapered towards the external part, but also a longitudinal bulkhead indicated as "strike" and another element at the end called "winglet", refining the incisiveness of the appendix itself with an isolation of the flow superficial air, taking the indications again. Wing elements developed using thermoplastic material strengthened with glass fibre.
Considering appendages and hull, there is an increase in vertical load equal to 30 kg at 270 km/h, mitigating the "floating" effect of the front wheel as well as providing stability when braking, always following the indications.
