reams matter
The moment we have all been waiting for has finally arrived.
We share our further step towards engineering excellence with you, Ducati enthusiasts around the world.
Every product we craft is a declaration of our lust for perfection. But none is comparable to Superleggera. In this project, we modeled the most advanced carbon fibre into futuristic aerodynamic-driven shapes. Here we realized our dreams as engineers, manufacturers and passionate riders.
The new Superleggera V4 is, first and foremost, a true statement. It is where we draw the line between trying and doing. It is our foremost pioneristic creature.
And I am very proud to present to you our greatest masterpiece of engineering, technology and design by giving you the story of its deepest secrets and its most refined details.
A story of style, sophistication, performance and trust.
Dedicated to all dreamers.
Claudio Domenicali.
Ducati Motor Holding CEO.
1708 is a project that can only be implemented in Borgo Panigale, Bologna, at Ducati Motor Holding. It is a project where excellence, engineering and dreams come together in a direction that is as aspirational as it is performative. It is such an ethereal and yet so extremely concrete project, made of matter, sounds, futuristic technologies, speed and very strong emotions.
Interview with
Stefano Strappazzon,
Superleggera V4 Project Coordinator.
We talked about it with Stefano Strappazzon,Superleggera V4 Project Owner.
“It’s every designer’s dream to work on a project like Superleggera V4. It’s a chance to develop solutions that you could otherwise never bring to market. It’s a unique opportunity to sit down with the team at the start of the project knowing that we’re all there to try to do the best that the company can do, to create a new benchmark from an engineering and research point of view”.
Real dreams are anything but inconsistent. From dreams, ideas are generated, ideas become projects, projects become prototypes and prototypes become results and emotions. We must never underestimate dreams. The history of Ducati, as well as its present, show that dreams are the fundamental inspiration behind every project. Without a vision, even utopian, it is not possible to evolve.
“Projects like the Superleggera V4 are demonstration projects, where we show what we can do. But they are also important moments of innovation for the company. Using tests on composite materials we define processes that have a positive influence on the entire company’s know-how.
And the result is amazing, both for the bike’s specs and its performance and, more importantly, as can be seen in the ecstatic faces of our riders when they get off the bike after testing”.
An investment in research and development that is really important for us, especially if we consider that it focuses on just 500 limited edition models.
The Superleggera V4 is an extremely Ducati project, in which we progressively engineer each unknown, cross feasibility barriers and shape lightness into the total emotion of speed.
With so much weight being saved and the road-going power figure of 224hp (234hp when equipped with the track-only full Akrapovič exhaust system), the Superleggera V4 has been equipped with what can only be described as a weapons-grade electronics package to help manage the raw potential on road and track. Performance is further ensured thanks to huge advancements in aerodynamic profiling which led to the inclusion of carbon fibre biplane wings that create staggering levels of downforce.
Every 1 of the 500 Superleggera V4 models sold is a demonstration of the technological innovation and the most advanced engineering that Ducati is capable of. As well as delivering incredible emotions and experiences to all of the lucky owners, each model comes with a few extra features. A welcome gift in the form of a specially sculpted reproduction will be issued, and to make it as unique as possible, this prestigious sculpture will be numbered to match its life-size counterpart. A letter of acknowledgement and fully featured certificate of authenticity is also included.
