Ducati Panigale V4 S 2020: the energy of the sports car projected onto the track [VIDEO]

Above a wing extension, below the rapid pace on the asphalt. Observing one of the perspectives of the proposed film, one has the sensation of a low flight animated by a sparkling power. Just a hint of the dynamism expressed by the new one Ducati Panigale V4S on the smooth surface of a circuit.

Power and progression

In the clip proposed on the Facebook page, the sound of the engine also emerges Desmosedici Stradale V4 with banks at 90° from 1.103 cc that generates 214 horses of power at 13.000 rpm and a torque of 124 Nm at 10.000 rpm. The performances are remarkable considering, for example, the time set by the driver Scott Redding on a specimen deprived of only the mirrors, with Akrapovič racing exhaust and with a lower rear spring figure of 80 N/mm compared to 85 N/mm in addition to tires slick, as reported. The best lap on the Ricardo Tormo track was completed in 1'34.5″. A remarkable time, documented in a video linked to a article already present on the site.
The dry weight of the Ducati Panigale V4 S amounts to 174 kg, slightly lower than the 175 kg of the Panigale V4. Also highlighted: specific grips, lithium ion battery, Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 suspension and steering damper, an Öhlins NIX-30 fork and Öhlins TTX 36 rear shock absorber, Marchesini forged aluminum rims. The seat height is 835 mm.

The dynamism of the specimen remains the protagonist even in the short segment proposed on the occasion. The characterizing elements of the new one are various and interesting Panigale V4 S developed by the Ducati Corse specialists, listing in particular a "Front-Frame" chassis which is associated with a consistent chassis, an OBTi (Objective Based Tuning Interface) adjustment interface, refined electronic equipment with different systems including Ride by Wire and a high-performance braking system.
The connotative Aero Pack, including the aforementioned wing appendages in the front area, shaped by Ducati Corse and the Ducati Style Centre, is the result of a painstaking study, starting from an initial experimental phase in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD technique), up to the development in wind tunnel and deliberate definition.
The elements of the package also include a new plexiglass with a larger 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 precisely the monoplanar aerodynamic appendages. A trapezoidal matrix is ​​highlighted, tapering towards the external part, therefore a longitudinal bulkhead indicated as "strike" and another element at the end called "winglet", refining the incisiveness of the appendix with an isolation of the superficial air flows , considering the information. Wing elements developed using thermoplastic material strengthened with glass fibre. Taking into account the appendages and the 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 maximizing braking stability.
