Ducati Panigale V4 R
Just one year after the introduction of superbike Panigale V4, the Italian motorbike developed a high-performance version of V4 R. Panigale V4 R is the commercial version of Ducati's racing car at WSBK. Not only is the commercial version of the WSBK racing car, Ducati Panigale V4 R also owns a design inspired directly from MotoGP racing. Specifically, the flanks of the two sides are made of carbon materials similar to Desmosedici GP design of Ducati in MotoGP. After the Aprilia RSV4 RF LE, the Panigale V4 R is the second commercial superbike in the world to have aerodynamic wings. In addition to helping the car look more pitiful, this wind wing also significantly increases the air compression force on the car at high speed. Thus, the body is kept more stable. Besides the wind vane, the Panigale V4 R's bodywork has also improved aerodynamics with wind slots on both sides inspired by the racing Desmosedici GP. These wind slots direct the wind into the interior and increase the heat dissipation efficiency of the engine. The Panigale V4 R has a design emphasis on a scratched aluminum 16-liter fuel tank and a gloss coating. In addition to reducing the vehicle's weight, the aluminum fuel tank is also a distinguishing feature of the standard Panigale V4 with the body color fuel tank. The Panigale V4 R still has a TFT electronic clock panel similar to the standard Panigale V4, but is upgraded with a higher revving display. This dashboard also displays the speed limit feature when entering Pit Pititer which allows to customize the maximum speed limit when the vehicle enters the pit lane. Providing the power for the Panigale V4 R is the Desmosedici Stradale R V4 998 cc engine which gives power up to 234 horsepower and 112 Nm of torque (using Akrapovic's full system exhaust system). Under WSBK, racing cars must have engine capacity not exceeding 1,000 cc and a commercial version is required. That's why the 1,103 cc engine on the standard Panigale V4 is reduced to the 998 cc on V4 R.
