Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini: a new combination of seduction and performance [PHOTO]

The first novelty introduced during the web series Ducati World Premiere 2023 and in the context of Grand Prix of San Marino and the Rimini Riviera it is the exemplar Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini.

An exclusive production

A model with highly distinctive features that represents a symbiosis between factors that characterize the Ducati and Lamborghini models, for example attention to detail, technological innovation and maximization of performance.
Expected 630 specimens coated with a color combination of Citrea green e Orange Dac, one of the specific liveries associated with the Lamborghini Huracán STO. The Arancio Dac color also covers the wings and calipers of the Brembo braking system with a contrasting black logo and the sliders and feet of the Öhlins fork are also black.
The exclusivity is also underlined by an aluminum certificate of authenticity on which the chassis and engine numbers appear.
Together with the 630 numbered examples in Verde Citrea/Arancio Dac, one is also expected Special Customer series even more exclusive than alone 63 specimens for as many Lamborghini customers. Through a direct collaboration with the Ducati Style Center, they have the possibility of equipping the model with colors for the bodywork and rims as happens with their own Lamborghini. We also note the possibility of selecting the colors of the brake calipers from those included in the palettes including Yellow, Red, Black and California Orange, as well as a standard colour, together with the details of the saddle from the four available versions.

Design and equipment

Combining key aspects of Panigale V4S 2023 with others referring to Lamborghini, this example in a numbered and limited series recalls concepts related to Lamborghini Huracan STO.
On the Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini there are stylistic details that recall what Lamborghini and the Ducati Style Center has redefined the superstructures taking inspiration from the sports car of the Sant'Agata Bolognese brand. Just look at the front mudguard, the grill extractors, vents and air intakes, the tank cover, the tip and the tail. For example, the mudguard is defined taking inspiration from the air vents integrated into the Lamborghini "bonnet", furthermore the extractors obtained on the tip recall the cooling intakes of the rear brakes of the Huracán STO; while those on the side covers of the tank recall the vents on the front fenders of the car and the extractors on the single-seater tail bring to mind those present on the bonnet of the car.
All the carbon fiber elements of the bike, such as the front mudguard, the wings, the tank and radiator covers and the tail, are also characterized by the same texture present on Lamborghini supercars. Even the seat recalls the finish of the Huracán STO seats, considering the accents in the same color as the superstructures, as specified.  
The name of the specimen and the progressive number appear on a metal plate located on the central cover of the tank. The number, machined from solid material, is also visible 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.
Other valuable details include adjustable rider footrests and lightweight brake and clutch levers machined from solid aluminium, developed in collaboration with Rizoma. Also mentioned are elements such as dashboard and ignition switch covers, heel guards, sprocket protection and saddle pad defined in the special carbon fibre, used for the bodywork parts already mentioned.
Carbon fiber is also used for the headlight support, for the rear mudguard, for the rear subframe protections and for the components intended for heat protection in the covers of the rear head and cylinder bank manifolds. From the side you can see an Akrapovič exhaust silencer in titanium with a carbon fiber end cap and the forged wheels are developed specifically for this model, taking up the style of the Huracán STO. The rear rim also includes a titanium tightening nut, also a further reference to the Lamborghini style.
A further possibility for customers who choose the Ducati Street Fighter V4 Lamborghini is dressing limited edition protective technical clothing 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, the suit can also be customized with the colors of the configuration, keeping in mind the proposal from the Dainese palette, as highlighted.

Technical aspects

Il Front Frame frame made of aluminum rests on the engine which appears as a stressed element. The aerodynamics are characterized by the aforementioned carbon biplane wings, integrated into the side covers of the tank. The configuration works in such a way as to favor the stability of the vehicle at high speeds, also supporting its agility.
The suspension part is made up of semi-active Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 solutions and the Brembo braking system includes Stylema calipers and discs 330 mm. The curb weight of the model is low at 197,5 kg.
The engine is a unit Desmosedici Stradale da 1.103 cc with desmodromic distribution with four valves per cylinder, Twin Pulse firing order derived from MotoGP and counter-rotating shaft. The propulsion part also includes a dry clutch, as on the Ducati MotoGP and Superbike. The power reaches altitude 208 horses.
We also highlight accessories that strengthen its features and facilitate its use on the track: caps for eliminating license plates and rear-view mirrors; racing tank cap; matching motorcycle cover and open carbon fiber cover for the dry clutch.
