Ducati has launched a new Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini at the latest MotoGP round at Misano, with the latest family project drawing inspiration from the Huracán STO – the car maker’s zenith of performance – and using the latest model Panigale V4 S as the two-wheeled technical base.
The front mudguard, tank cover, seat, belly pan and tail, grille extractors, vents and air intakes draw inspiration from the Huracan STO, while all the carbon components are made using the same texture visible on the cars that originate from Lamborghini’s Bolognese factory.
The machine has adjustable footpegs and lightened Rizoma brake and clutch levers in billet aluminium, while the heel guards, saddle pad, dashboard cover and ignition switch cover are all in carbon fibre as well.
The same carbon fibre is also assigned engine heat protection duties, and can also be found the headlight support, rear mudguard and subframe guards.
The bike has a titanium Akrapovic silencer with carbon fibre end cap.

The name of the model and the serial number are shown on a metal plate inserted in the central tank cover. The number also appears on the TFT dashboard during ignition, together with a ‘celebratory’ animation showing the Ducati and Lamborghini badges and the silhouette of the model.
A total of 630 units will be manufactured in a Verde Citrea/Arancio Dac livery – a specific colour combination of the Huracán STO. Brembo wings and brake calipers are also coloured in Arancio Dac, the latter with a contrasting black logo. The Öhlins stays and fork legs are black.
In addition to the 630 units, Ducati is also offering an even more exclusive series of 63 bikes, called Speciale Clienti, which are only available to Lamborghini customers who then have the option of customising their machines even more – and can even get some snappy leathers, helmet and jacket included in the package!
The Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini is powered by the 1103cc Desmosedici Stradale engine, and the claimed wet weight is 197.5kg.
No price yet, but the Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini will be available in Australia and New Zealand in the second half of 2023.
