Ducati Superleggera V4: a concept of technological power [VIDEO]

The character, the details, the same strength expressed by Ducati Superleggera V4 These are the themes described in the film proposed by Ducati on Youtube.

A story that includes the interventions of Alessandro Valia, Official Ducati Tester, who underlines the sensations felt on the bike and the potential that this bike can express.
A project that foresees 500 specimens with exclusive aspects such as the use of carbon fiber for the frame, swingarm and wheels, as well as the use of titanium and magnesium for other parts. Functional choices for reducing weight.
The same aesthetic as Ducati Superleggera V4 is characterizing, starting from the refined and expressive luminous signature, but observing above all the streamlined and articulated aerodynamic layout which includes biplane appendages that recall the studies carried out on the 2016 Ducati MotoGP. Based on the indications, 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), a factor to add to the sophisticated chassis and electronics. During the film, the refinement work is also followed, noting the growth and definition of a sports car with high dynamic performance.
A motorcycle equipped with an engine 4 cc Desmosedici Stradale R V90 998°, whose mass is contained, which is combined with an Akrapovič approved exhaust. The power amounts to 224 horses compared to a dry weight of 159 kg, the basic power/weight ratio is 1,41 HP/kg. But it is possible to reach a figure of 234 horses, adopting an Akrapovič solution in titanium included in the Racing Kit, considering in this case a weight of 152,2 kg. The indicated ratio becomes 1,54 HP/kg, a high-sounding value.
