Ducati Panigale V4 Lamborghini launched in India at Rs 1 crore

V4 Lamborghini and the Diavel 1260 Lamborghini.

This new episode of the union between the two companies stars the most high-performance and sophisticated models in the ranges of the two brands: the Panigale V4 S, the latest generation Ducati Superbike; and the Lamborghini Revuelto, the new paradigm in the super sports car arena. Both models represent the ultimate expression of sporting performance of the two brands and are equipped with the most refined and high-performance engines, that fully represent their technical philosophy and design approach: the Ducati Desmosedici Stradale and the Lamborghini V12.

Commenting on the launch, Bipul Chandra, Managing Director, Ducati Inda said: “With the Panigale V4 Lamborghini, Ducati continues to celebrate the perfect blend of performance, design, and exclusivity that defines both Ducati and Lamborghini. This collaboration brings together two iconic Italian brands that share a passion for engineering excellence and craftsmanship. The Panigale V4 Lamborghini is not just a motorcycle, but a collector’s masterpiece that embodies innovation, sportiness, and the unmistakable spirit of Italian automotive artistry. We are excited to bring this extraordinary machine closer to enthusiasts and collectors in India.”

The inspiration behind the Panigale V4 is the Revuelto, Automobili Lamborghini's first HPEV (High Performance Electrified Vehicle) hybrid super sports car, the new benchmark in terms of performance, on-board technology and driving thrills.

The absolute driving pleasure experienced behind the wheel is provided in no small part by a total of 1015 hp generated by the powertrain, which combines the power of a new V12 internal combustion engine with three high-density electric motors and an innovative dual-clutch transverse gearbox.

The extensive use of carbon fibre and other ultralight materials has led to the best weight-to-power ratio in Lamborghini history: 1.75 kg/CV. This translates into top performance, with 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 2.5 seconds, and maximum speed of over 350 km/h.

Ducati Panigale V4 Lamborghini

The technical foundation for the Panigale V4 Lamborghini is the new V4 S, a motorbike which is particularly advanced thanks to an integrated approach balanced between aerodynamics and design, an extremely effective chassis, and major electronic innovations such as the Ducati Vehicle Observer (DVO) and Race eCBS.

To create the V4 Lamborghini, Ducati's Centro Stile worked alongside Lamborghini's to design the unmistakable livery and a series of unique details inspired by the Revuelto, creating an exclusive bike limited to 630 numbered examples.

The forged aluminium wheel rims have been specifically designed for this motorbike and feature the same style as those of the Revuelto, while the tail piece and wings have been reworked by Ducati's designers following the lines of the super sports car from Sant'Agata Bolognese.

The Panigale V4 Lamborghini is rendered particularly unique by the exclusive Lamborghini-inspired livery based on the black colour of carbon fibre with visible texture, details in Verde Scandal, Grigio Telesto and Grigio Acheso, and the dedicated seat, which takes inspiration from the interior of the Revuelto. The motorcycle will be offered in India in this exclusive Lamborghini livery.

As further proof of the attention to every single detail in this collaboration between the two brands, the bodywork and remaining components such as the heat shield, heel guard, and front and rear mudguards are entirely in carbon fibre, using the same weave featured in Lamborghini's super sports cars. On the bike's symmetry line, where the weave intersects, the typical herringbone design is found, the result of artisanal work of the highest precision.

The bike is equipped with an approved Akrapovic titanium silencer with carbon end caps, which together with a dedicated calibration for the engine, bring the maximum power of the Panigale V4 Lamborghini to 218.5 horsepower. The high number of carbon fibre components, combined with the silencer, bring the weight of the bike down to 185 kg, almost 2 kg less than the Panigale V4 S, with a power-to-weight ratio that thus goes from 1.15 to 1.18 HP/Kg.
