Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini: a look at the design [VIDEO]

The new Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini is the protagonist in the film proposed by Ducati on the YouTube channel, told by Andrea Ferraresi, Design Director of the Ducati Style Center and Mitja Borkert, Head of Design of Automobili Lamborghini.

The motorcycle

It is the first novelty of those expected during the web series Ducati World Première 2023, recently introduced in the context of the San Marino Grand Prix and the Rimini Riviera.
A motorcycle immediately distinguishable from an aesthetic point of view and with exclusive features. 630 units are planned in the bold color combination of Verde Citrea and Arancio Dac, which recalls one of the liveries combined with the Lamborghini Huracán STO. The wings and calipers of the Brembo braking system with contrasting logo in black are also in Dac Orange, therefore the sliders and feet of the Öhlins fork are in dark colour.
The exclusivity is also underlined by an aluminum certificate of authenticity on which the chassis and engine numbers appear.
In addition to the 630 specimens already mentioned, a highly exclusive Special Customer Series of sun is also planned 63 unit for as many Lamborghini customers. Through direct collaboration with the Ducati Style Center, it is possible to cover the model with body and wheel colors as happens with the respective Lamborghini. Furthermore, you can select the colors of the brake calipers from those included in the palettes including Yellow, Red, Black and California Orange, together with a standard colour, and therefore the details of the saddle from the four selectable versions.
Among the aspects highlighted are also the accessories that amplify its features and facilitate use on the track, such as the caps for eliminating license plates and rear-view mirrors; the racing-type fuel cap; the matching motorcycle cover and the open carbon fiber cover for the dry clutch.
The motorbike, whose weight in running order is limited to 197,5 kg, features an aluminum Front Frame combined with the engine which acts as a stressed element. The aerodynamics are characterized by carbon biplane wings, integrated into the side covers of the tank. The suspension part is then characterized by semi-active Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 solutions and the Brembo braking system includes Stylema calipers and 330 mm discs.
The 1.103 cc Desmosedici Stradale heart is equipped with desmodromic distribution with four valves per cylinder, counter-rotating shaft and Twin Pulse combustion order derived from MotoGP. The propulsion part also includes a dry clutch, as on the Ducati MotoGP and Superbike. The peak power is of 208 horses.

Aesthetics and peculiarities

The superstructures are redefined taking inspiration from the sports car of the Sant'Agata Bolognese brand. A further possibility for customers of this sporty naked is to dress up limited edition clothing and protective solutions like a helmet, a jacket and a leather suit, characterized by a color scheme that recalls that of the motorbike. In the case of the Special Customer version, according to the indications, the suit can also be customized with the colors of the configuration, keeping in mind the Dainese palette.
Returning to aesthetics, you can observe the front mudguard, the grill extractors, vents and air intakes, the tank cover, the tip and the tail to understand the exclusivity of this model. For example, the mudguard is shaped taking inspiration from the air vents integrated into the Lamborghini "bonnet", then the extractors obtained on the tip recall the cooling vents of the rear brakes of the Huracán STO, while those on the side covers of the tank recall the vents on the The car's front fenders and the extractors on the single-seater tail refer to those on the bonnet of the four-wheeled sports car.

The different elements in carbon fiber such as the front mudguard, the tank cover, the wings, the radiator cover and the tail are characterized by the same texture present on Lamborghini supercars. Even the seat is reminiscent of the finish of the Huracán STO seats, noting the accents in the same color as the superstructures. Carbon fiber is also used for the headlight support, for the rear mudguard, for the protections of the rear subframe and for the parts intended for heat protection in the covers of the rear head and the bank manifolds. We also highlight the presence of an Akrapovič titanium exhaust silencer with carbon fiber end cap and the forged wheels are made specifically for the model, recalling the style of the Huracán STO. The rear rim also includes a titanium tightening nut.
The name of the motorbike and the progressive number are visible on a metal plate on the central cover of the tank. The number, machined from solid, is also distinguishable on the aluminum part of the ignition key and appears on the TFT dashboard during start-up, together with a celebratory animation with the Ducati and Lamborghini shields and the silhouette of the motorbike, as reported.
Sei also highlights the adoption of adjustable rider footrests and brake and clutch levers machined from solid aluminium, developed in collaboration with Rizoma and then other elements such as: the dashboard and ignition switch covers, the protection of the sprocket, heel guards and saddle pad defined with the special carbon fiber.
