The most stunning Ducati Streetfighter V4 produced is a motorcycle that perfectly embodies the values of style , sportiness , and exclusivity shared by Ducati and Lamborghini , the two brands of excellence that have helped write the history of Italy ’ s “ Motor Valley ” and that have renewed and expanded their collaboration with this project . The result is a combination of technology , performance and beauty to deeply inspire enthusiasts from the very first look .
Applying the well-known “ Fight Formula ” to the technical base of the Panigale V4 S 2023 and integrating elements and stylistic features that are unmistakably Lamborghini , Ducati has created an exclusive all-new model within its range . The bike is produced in a numbered limited series of 630 units and reinterprets in a Ducati key the concepts that led to the creation of the Lamborghini Huracán STO , integrating technical and stylistic elements typical of Lamborghini DNA , including the exclusive livery in green and orange .
The Ducati Style Center , in collaboration with Lamborghini ’ s Centro Stile , redesigned the superstructures of this special bike , drawing inspiration from the Huracán STO . It features specially-made forged wheels enhanced by the titanium clamping nut on the rear ; the front fender design is inspired by the air ducts integrated in the Huracán STO ’ s “ cofango ”; the toe cap , radiator cover , wings , tank cover and tail are all made of carbon fiber , the same used for the super sports cars from Sant ’ Agata Bolognese .
The livery features the STO logo and the number 63 , which refers to the year in which Lamborghini was founded . This number , multiplied by ten , gives the 630 units to be produced by Ducati , each accompanied by a certificate of authenticity . The colors used for the bike are exactly the same as those used for the Huracán STO , with a base in “ Verde Citrea ” ( green ) and contrasting parts in “ Arancio Dac ” ( orange ). The model name and the progressive number are shown on a metal plate inserted in the central tank cover and an aluminum insert on the ignition key .
