Ducati’s dropping a stunner in India: the Panigale V4 Tricolore, a limited-edition collector’s bike capped at 1,000 numbered units celebrating Made in Italy excellence. Priced at ₹77,00,000 ex-showroom, bookings are live but very few units headed our way. Inspired by the 1984 750 F1’s iconic livery (40 years on), it nods to Ducati Superbike legends like the 1988 851 Desmoquattro.
Mr. Bipul Chandra, Managing Director, Ducati India: “The Panigale V4 Tricolore is Italian craftsmanship at its peak — luxury, rarity, and racing heritage for true enthusiasts.”
Panigale V4 Tricolore: Aldo Drudi’s Asymmetric Livery Magic
Crafted by Aldo Drudi and Centro Stile Ducati, this Panigale V4 Tricolore special edition rocks a first-ever asymmetric Tricolore livery blending Italian flag whites, reds, greens with black-and-white checkers on the fairing. Number 1 plates mimic elite models like Panigale V4 R or Multistrada Pikes Peak.
Built on the new Panigale V4 (7th-gen Superbike), it flaunts taut aero lines, revised chassis, Ducati Vehicle Observer (DVO), and Race eCBS. Track-ready upgrades make it a Ducati Tricolore first:
- Carbon fiber 5-spoke rims: -0.907 kg lighter vs. V4 S forged rims; 12% front / 19% rear inertia drop
