Number 001 of the limited and numbered series of 500 gloriously beautiful Ducati Superleggera V4 costing a whisker under £90,000 has rolled off the production line of the Borgo Panigale plant in Bologna, Northern Italy.
The super-bling Superleggera V4 is the only bike in the world approved for road use with a carbon fibre frame, swingarm and wheels.
In its bid to shed weight, the Superleggera makes extensive use of carbon fibre; the bike gets an all new carbon fibre front frame and carbon fibre bi-plane wings. The Italian motorcycle maker has also used carbon fibre for fairing, wheels, and even mudguards. At the heart of Superleggera V4 is the Desmosedici 998 cc V4 engine that has been made lighter and re-tuned to churn out 221 bhp and 119 Nm of peak torque. But slap on Akrapovic racing exhaust and the power can go all the way to 231 horses. The engine is offered in combination with a six-speed gearbox with DQS up/down quickshifter. The Superleggera V4 also gets host of electronic interventions like Ducati Traction Control system, Ducati Wheelie Control, Ducati Slide Control, different riding modes, and cornering ABS. The bike also gets Ducati Power Launch system.
