Ducati has partnered with LEGO to create a brick model of the Ducati Panigale V4 R. The brick model is the latest addition to the LEGO Technic line.
The Ducati Panigale V4 R is claimed to be the most powerful Ducati of all time, thanks to the 998cc Desmosedici Stradale R, an engine created to race in the WSBK championship.
LEGO’s recreation of the Ducati Panigale V4 R is incredibly detailed, with an exclusive 2-speed gear box that activates the V4 engine, and working suspension.

The LEGO Technic Ducati Panigale V4 R measures 32cm in length, 16cm in height and 8cm in width. It is the first LEGO model in history to include a gearbox to simulate different speeds and riding techniques.
Other features include the steering and suspension, front and rear disc brakes, as well as detailed kickstand, exhaust pipe, windscreen and dashboard.
“We have all been children fond of LEGO bricks,” said Alessandro Cicognani, Ducati Licensing Director. “I think it’s easy to understand that this new licensing agreement is like a dream come true. Two excellences that share the same values of dedication, passion and attention to detail come together to give life a unique experience.”
“Being one of the first to have built with bricks the model of an icon such as the Ducati Panigale V4 R was exciting,” stated Paolo Lazzarin, General Manager of LEGO Italia. “The model is the brainchild of the partnership with the Ducati Design Centre and I am convinced that LEGO fans of all ages will appreciated the attention-to-detail in this amazing motorcycle replica.”
The LEGO Technic Ducati Panigale V4 R model includes 646 pieces and is designed for fans aged 10 and above. It will be available in Ducati Dealerships, in the Ducati Online Shop, in LEGO stores, in the LEGO Online Store and in LEGO Brand Retail Stores from June 1. It is priced at $89.99.
