Una Ducati Superleggera V4 dark, recognizable by the articulated aerodynamics in evidence which recalls a hawk swooping down on its prey. The deceleration appears decisive, as can also be seen from how the driver's boot caresses the asphalt of the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli. Just a sequence proposed by Ducati to underline the first test following the lockdown, checking the Ducati Performance package.

Overall 500 unit for this example distinguishable by observing the mechanics, the electronic part and the setting aerodynamics, for example the aforementioned biplane appendages which recall the studies done on the 2016 Ducati MotoGP. The vertical load is 50 kg at 270 km/h (20 kg more compared to the solution adopted on the new Panigale V4 and the Panigale V4 R) , taking up the information.
Amounts to 224 horses the power expressed by Desmosedici Stradale R engine. A lightweight 4 cc 90° V998 engine combined with an approved Akrapovič exhaust. The data can increase to 234 horses with a titanium Akrapovič system included in the Racing Kit. Evaluating a dry weight of 159 kg, i.e. 16 kg less than a Panigale V4, the basic power/weight ratio is 1,41 HP/kg; while with the aforementioned Racing Kit in light of the indicated 234 horsepower and a weight value of 152,2 kg, the indicated ratio becomes 1,54 HP/kg.

Functional choices keeping weight containment in mind. The luminous signature is also distinctive, in one aesthetic vision as gritty and powerful as her strength.
