Ducati Streetfighter V4 Prototype: a new challenge on the Pikes Peak surface [PHOTO]

Towards the so-called “Race to the Clouds”, it seems that the same breath proceeds at a more fiery pace. The waiting, the research, the desire to systematically accelerate to relive the sensations of absolute freedom. A new whirlwind journey towards the sky begins Colorado and Ducati introduces a special example: the Streetfighter V4 prototype which prefigures something expected.

A new prelude

Several rumors had circulated about this special V4. Indiscretions, rumors linked precisely to the name Streetfighter, which is current again. Fiery voices from Desmosedici Stardale V4, which animates and characterizes the most recent versions of panigale, in a new and volcanic production phase of the Emilian manufacturer.
The hint at a next productive chapter, therefore, considering the words of theCEO di Ducati, Claudio Domenicali, reported on the occasion, anticipating precisely that Street Fighter V4 between “protagonists of the Ducati World Première 2020”. For this “Panigale for road riding; there was therefore no better scenario than the Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb for what will be the highest performing Streetfighter ever put into production”, he added.
A close relationship with the note V4 Emilian, whose heart delivers 214 horses, but already by adopting a specific exhaust the thrust can also increase to 226. Superbike numbers. In the case of the Streetfighter V4, we can hypothesize a perhaps lower level, considering the type of model. It is underlined on this occasion that this “Panigale V4 stripped” of some components, can also be distinguished from a high and wide handlebar as well as appropriate aerodynamic profiles designed considering the high sporting nature of the Desmosedici Stradale 1100 cm³.
Lo Streetfighet V4, based on widespread previews, is expected at the next edition of EICMA and subsequently in retailers linked to the Borgo Panigale brand from mid-March next year. Also connotative “pixelated” livery signed by Ducati Style Center, which marks and allows a glimpse of the muscular forms of the specimen entrusted to the expert Carlin Dunne, protagonist already in the last edition of the hill climb and again in the saddle 30nd June, for a new lightning-fast race towards the finish line of Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb 2019.
