Own a slice of Ducati history…
After the announcement that Ducati will no longer be making the Superquadro V-twin engine, there is only one way to go about it and that is to go out with a bang.
The Panigale V2 Superquadro will be the last of the current “middleweight” Panigale V2 model’s bloodline. This, despite the fact that the V2 is currently enjoying some impressive results on the racetrack.
The Superquadro engine was first used in the 2011 1199 Panigale.
Over the years the engine found its way into Ducati’s smaller-capacity models like the 899, 959, and the current Panigale V2.
It helped win the first Supersport world title for Ducati in 2023 with Nicolò Bulega and won the MotoAmerica Supersport title in 2022 and 2023.
The new limited-edition Final Edition model pays tribute to Nicolò Bulega’s World Supersport title in 2023. The by Drudi Performance is Ducati’s traditional white, red, black, and grey paint.
Like all current Ducatis, the Panigale V2 comes with a full suite of electronic rider aids. The bike comes with a six-axis IMU which refines many of the bike’s systems. Standard on the Final Edition are: ABS Cornering EVO, Ducati Traction Control (DTC) EVO 2, Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) EVO, Ducati Quick Shift up/down (DQS) EVO 2, and Engine Brake Control (EBC) EVO. Access to all of the V2′s features is via the 4.3-inch full-color TFT display, while the bike uses all LED lighting.
Just 555 numbered units celebrate the history of the last Superquadro twin. These include:
- Dedicated Superquadro Tribute livery
- Billet aluminium triple clamp with progressive number
- Dedicated rider seat
- Dedicated dashboard animation at key-on
- Dedicated contact key
- Carbon fibre silencer end, front and rear mudguard, swingarm protection, chain guard, clutch cover, and shock absorber protection
- Sport grips
- Adjustable footrests machined from solid
- GPS module
- License plate holder removal kit
- Mirror removal kit in billet aluminum
- Tank cap machined from solid aluminum
- Dedicated motorcycle cover
- Certificate of Authenticity
The Panigale V2 Superquadro Final Edition features the Superquadro V2, with a displacement of 955 cc with 155 hp at 10,750 rpm and torque of 76.7 lb-ft at 9,000 rpm.
It’ll cost a collector a bit more than a mil and a half and will start making its way to dealerships from December…
It was announced earlier in the year that the Ducati brand in South Africa changes ownership from the end of 2024, with the VW group looking after the brand.
As soon as we have more detail, we’ll get that info out.
What’s Ducati’s next big thing?
We’ll know after the World Ducati weekend.
