Ducati Superleggera V4: aerodynamics highlighted [VIDEO]

New images, new interesting perspectives on the work dedicated to the aerodynamic part of the new one Ducati Superleggera V4, which acts in symbiosis with sophisticated technology.

The electronic part is crucial, as is the aerodynamic one characterized by biplane appendages which refer to Ducati MotoGP 2016. The resulting vertical load amounts to 50 kg a 270 km/h, taking the directions again.
The performance character is also underlined by the time recorded on the Mugello track, thanks to an example equipped with racing kit and slick tyres: 1'52 "45. Less than two seconds from the time set by Michele Pirro on the Panigale V4 R SBK in CIV 2019, taking up what emerged.
Sophisticated aerodynamics, highlighted in the film proposed by Ducati, which dialogues with the remarkable power developed by an engine Desmosedici Stradale R da 998 cc. A heart V4 da 90° 2,8 kg lighter than a 4 cc V1.103. Expresses 224 horses of power, considering an Akrapovič approved exhaust system. An already remarkable level. Then by adopting an Akrapovič solution in titanium on the track, included in the Racing Kit offered together with the vehicle, the reported value rises to 234 horses.
From the power levels expressed, the performance character of this motorbike can be understood, especially when comparing these data with the weight. If you think about the dry value of 159 kg, 16 kg less than a Panigale V4, the basic ratio is already 1,41 HP/kg. Another important fact for an approved example. And with the adoption of the racing kit, 234 horsepower to compare with an even lower weight of 152,2 kg, the ratio on this occasion amounts to 1,54 HP/kg.
Only made 500 specimens, citing among the most interesting aspects also an extensive use of carbon fiber for the frame, swingarm and wheels, as well as the use of other light materials such as titanium and magnesium. A broader summary is already present in a precedent article.
