Ducati has taken the covers off its latest special edition superbike — the Lamborghini edition of the Panigale V4 — aimed at international markets. This limited-edition marvel brings together two of Italy’s most iconic performance brands and is built to turn heads and excite collectors around the world.
Production
To maintain its exclusivity, Ducati is only making 693 units of the Panigale V4 Lamborghini edition. In addition to this, another 63 units will be produced specifically for Lamborghini Ad Personam clients. These ultra-exclusive bikes will be reserved for owners of Lamborghini cars from the Ad Personam customisation program, making them even more special.
The number 63 isn’t just random — it represents 1963, the year Lamborghini was founded. This detail is carried forward visually as well, with the lower fairing of the motorcycle showcasing the number ‘63’ in bold.
Design
Visually, this bike draws direct inspiration from the Lamborghini Revuelto Ad Personam supercar. It sports a stunning all-black bodywork, tastefully contrasted by striking yellow accents in all the right places. The tail section and winglets are styled to mimic the aggressive aerodynamics of the Revuelto, giving the bike an unmistakable presence even at a standstill.
One particularly eye-catching detail is the yellow-finished brake callipers, adding a pop of colour to the otherwise stealthy aesthetic. It’s clear that Ducati didn’t just aim to make a fast bike, but one that delivers the flair and sophistication you’d expect from a Lamborghini partnership.
Performance
The bike is based on the Panigale V4 S, but gets some serious upgrades under the skin. Powering the bike is Ducati’s 1,103cc Desmosedici Stradale V4 engine — already one of the most powerful production bike engines in the world. Thanks to the inclusion of an Akrapovic titanium underbelly exhaust with a carbon fibre tip, the bike now makes 2.3bhp more than the standard version.
This brings a slight performance bump while enhancing the exhaust note and reducing weight. Speaking of weight, the use of carbon fibre on multiple components — including the fairing, mudguards, and other trim bits — has helped shave 2kg off the bike’s overall wet weight compared to the standard V4 S.
Unique Touches
Each unit of this limited-edition bike will carry a billet aluminium plate on the steering head, engraved with its unique production number — a classic collector’s touch. It adds to the exclusivity and gives every owner a personal connection with their machine.
As a further nod to exclusivity, Lamborghini Ad Personam owners will be offered additional customisation options. These include a custom livery, special brake callipers, custom seat, exclusive wheels, logos, and even a unique Plexiglas windscreen to suit individual tastes.
