For those seeking a thrilling experience while maintaining social distance, Ducati has unveiled its fastest and most technologically advanced motorcycle to date, the 2021 Superleggera V4.
Headquartered in Bologna, Italy, Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. has crafted the most exclusive Ducati motorcycle ever, with production limited to just 500 numbered units, each coming with a certificate of authenticity. The first unit was handed over to Belgian Ducatista Filip Van Schil, a proud owner of nine other Ducati bikes.
Renowned for its exceptional engineering, Ducati’s new Superleggera V4 boasts cutting-edge technology and aerodynamic design. Constructed primarily from carbon fiber, the frame, swinging arm, and rims contribute to an impressive power-to-weight ratio of 1.54 hp/kg, while the motorcycle’s “Biplane” wings generate substantial downforce.
Suitable for both road and track use, the street-ready model delivers 224 Horsepower, which can be upgraded to 234 Horsepower with the included racing kit. Weighing only 336 lbs, this translates to 7 Horsepower per pound, surpassing the performance of an F1 car.
Packed with advanced features such as cornering ABS, slide control, wheelie control, power launch, a multimedia system, data analyzer, and GPS, this special motorcycle offers a comprehensive riding experience.
While specific top speed figures are not disclosed by motorcycle brands, it is safe to assume that this Ducati reaches speeds exceeding 200 mph.
The price for the new Ducati Superleggera V4 stands at $100,000 USD, significantly higher than the typical $20,000 to $25,000 range for a top Ducati superbike.
