Italian superbike maker Ducati on Thursday launched its flagship motorcycle model Panigale V4 SP in India priced at Rs 36.07 lakh (ex-showroom India).

The bike is inspired by the Ducati Corse bikes used in the pre-season tests of the MotoGP and SBK Championships.

Introduced for the first time on the legendary Ducati 851, this abbreviation identified the versions that formed the basis for development of racing bikes used in the Sport Production Championship, a precursor of the current Superstock. Even today, in Ducati, the acronym "SP" is used to recognize a production bike with specific technical equipment that makes it faster on the track.

Bookings are now open across all Ducati dealerships in Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Kochi, Kolkata and Chennai, and deliveries will start with immediate effect, Ducati India said in a statement.

Key features

The Panigale V4 SP differs from the Panigale V4 S with a dedicated livery, steering head machined from billet which shows the progressive number of the bike, equipment enriched with chassis contents and the engine designed to increase its dynamic performance when used on the racetrack, according to news reports.

Panigale V4 SP is powered by a 1,103 cc engine and is capable of delivering 214 hp of power at 13,000 rpm, and 12.6 Kgm of torque at 9,500 rpm.
