At the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy, Ducati has presented the new Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia, a limited and numbered collectors item of which only 163 will be produced. The engine celebrates the Azzurro of the Italian national sports teams with a special color scheme, the same with which Pecco Bagnaia and the Ducati Lenovo team triumphed on Mugello in 2024.
Exclusive and pure expression of Italian excellence, a tribute to the color of the national sports teams of Italy and the victory of Francesco Bagnaia during the Mugello Grand Prix last year, which is the Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia in a nutshell.
The Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia brings enthusiasts back to the extraordinary date of 2 June 2024 when, on the day of the Republic, the Ducati Lenovo Team raced in the Grand Prix of Italy with a special Azzurro colors, a tribute to the color of the national sports teams of Italy.
Bagnaia and Bastianini achieved the first and second place and scored a dream twist with two Italian drivers on the highest step of the stage.
The presentation of the Ducati Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia took place during the prestigious Salone Degli Arazzi in the Palazzo Piacentini in Rome, the home base of the Mimit, the symbolic place of Italian entrepreneurial and industrial excellence.
The very exclusive Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia, signed by Pecco Bagnaia, was presented by Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali in the presence of the Minister of Enterprises and Made in Italy, Adolfo Urso. At the end of the event, Andrea Abodi, Minister of Sport and Youth Affairs, also brought a farewell greeting.
“To present the Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia at the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy today, a great honor and marks the highlight of a project that reflects the pure essence of Made in Italy. I remember with great emotion the Grand Prix of Mugurello last year, which ended our home, precisely in the Awards in ‘Alt, precisely in the Azz at the Azzz at the Azzz -CIRCOUT’ precisely victory in ‘AzzzoTonization’, precisely in the Azz -Cirit of the Azzzo -CIRCUuit ‘, precisely in the Azzurro victory’. Republic.
A success full of meaning and converted into something tangible for our Ducatisti thanks to 163 unique engines – 1 such as Pecco’s first place and 63 as its starting number in the MotoGP – which embody the passion and sporting soul of Italy, expressions of our uniqueness on the international stage. On behalf of Ducati I thank Minister Urso and Mimit for receiving us and making this occasion even more important. ”
The presentation event was held under the auspices of Altagamma, the foundation that brings together the companies of the high Italian cultural and creative industry and opens the series of activities that are promoted by Mimit for the Italian National Day of Made in Italy, which takes place every 15 April and the promotion of the excellence of the country.
The basis of the Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia is the new V4 S that was presented last July during the WDW 2024 and the subject is an important evolutionary jump thanks to the integrated approach between aerodynamics and design, a fully reviewed chassis and innovative electronic solutions such as Ducati Vehic.
In addition to the unique color scheme, Ducati has also tackled the Tricolore Italia under the skin. For example, five -spoke carbon wheels are mounted that lower the weight by 950 grams in relation to the forged wheels of the Panigale V4 S. According to Ducati, the inertia on the front has been reduced by 12% and at the back is reduced by 19%, making the engine in particular much easier to change direction.
The new Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia is also the first production engine in the world equipped with the front Brake Pro+ brake system consisting of two Brembo T-Drive brake discs with slats with a diameter of 338.5 mm and a thickness of 6.2 mm, which enlarge the braking power and the consistency of performance, and GP4 are gp4 and gp4’s gp4. For use on the road and are equipped with cooling ribs.
This system, which was used by the official Ducati drivers in the 2024 Race of Champions, is derived from the racing claws used in the Superbike World Championship on the most demanding circuits. Finally, a radial MCS 19.21 brake pump is provided with a loose set mechanism, just like on the MotoGP and the Superbike Racers.
The special equipment of the Tricolore Italia is completed by a dry clutch, adjustable footrests of solid aluminum and a GPS module. Those who want to use it on the circuit also have a racing tank cap of solid aluminum, airducts for the calipers, a carbon open clutch cover and a kit for removing the license plate holder.
According to Ducati, the experience of driving on this collector’s item is even more special thanks to an Alcantara saddle, racing plexiglass and a special dashboard animation when you put the engine on contact. In addition, every Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia has the original Pecco Bagnaia signature on the tank and it is supplied in an exclusive personalized wooden box.
Like all other Ducati motorcycles for collectors, this model is also unique due to the steering plate made of solid aluminum with the name of the model, the number of the unit, the profile of the circuit and an inscription in honor of the Bagnaia lap record.
The Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia comes with a certificate of authenticity and a special motorcycle cover, which are supplied in a special box that is adapted to the color scheme. The number of the unit is also on the aluminum badge on the ignition key.
Finally, the unique character of the Tricolore Italia is reinforced by the possibility reserved for owners, to complete his look with a Limited Edition Professional Pack, made from Fijn Kangaroate Lake, with a color scheme that matches that of the motorcycle.
The Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia is produced in a very limited edition of 163 pieces, but the bad news is that all 163 units have already been sold. Two copies have been sold to Dutch customers, who will have to put € 98,000 on the table for that when they put it on the license plate. Without a license plate (and therefore without BPM) that is still € 85,000.
