Motorcycle Ducati Superleggera V4 in 1/12 scale. Tamiya reference 14140.

Model to mount and paint. Paints and glue not included.

The Superleggera V4 is a road version of the Panigale V4 from the Italian manufacturer Ducati. The focus was on optimal lightweighting through the use of carbon fiber in the fairings, chassis and swingarm. Its eye-catching design is characterized by carbon fiber biplane fins on either side of the front fairing for better aerodynamics. The engine is the Desmosedici Stradale R, a 998 cm3 V4 equipped with Ducati's Desmodromic timing system. This motorcycle uses an Öhlins suspension and a Brembo braking system.

In addition, the installation of the Akrapovič titanium silencer - specific to the racing kit - with engine preparation makes it possible to obtain a superb weight/power ratio of 1.54hp/kg.

Only 500 examples of the Superleggera V4 were produced.
