Dedicated to Mugello Victory and the Azzurro Spirit
On March 19, 2025, at the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy (MIMIT) in Rome, Ducati officially unveiled its new collector’s model: the Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia. This exclusive edition, limited to just 163 units, commemorates the historic 1-2 finish by Francesco Bagnaia and the Ducati Lenovo Team at the Mugello GP held on Italy’s Republic Day, June 2, 2024.
Clad in a special Azzurro (the traditional blue of Italy’s national teams), the number of units—163—symbolically combines Bagnaia’s racing number “63” and the number “1” signifying his victory. Each motorcycle comes equipped with a fuel tank signed by Bagnaia himself. The launch event, held in the “Tapestry Hall” of Palazzo Piacentini, saw Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali present alongside Minister Adolfo Urso, emphasizing the bike’s unique heritage and significance.
Claudio Domenicali, CEO of Ducati:
“The Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia is the embodiment of ‘Made in Italy’ excellence. The victory at Mugello, dressed in Azzurro, remains vividly etched in our memories. This triumph has now taken shape in the form of these 163 motorcycles.”
Based on the latest V4 S model unveiled at the 2024 World Ducati Week, this special edition has undergone a comprehensive evolution in aerodynamics, chassis design, and electronics. Key standard features include:
- Carbon Fiber Five-Spoke Wheels: 0.95 kg lighter than forged aluminum wheels, significantly reducing front and rear rotational inertia for enhanced cornering performance.
- World’s First “Front Brake PRO+” System: Features 338.5mm x 6.2mm Brembo finned T-Drive discs combined with GP4 Sport Production calipers (also with cooling fins), offering superior braking power and fade resistance.
- MotoGP-Derived Dry Clutch: Along with adjustable billet aluminum rearsets, a dedicated GPS module, and more.
- Carbon Fiber Components: Including front and rear fenders, chain guard, and swingarm cover, matched with an Alcantara seat.
- Exclusive Dashboard Animation: Plays on startup to highlight the bike’s special status.
- Custom Wooden Shipping Crate: Each unit is delivered in a unique crate with a certificate of authenticity.
Owners also gain access to a matching professional riding suit made of kangaroo leather, designed in the same Azzurro livery as the bike.
The top triple clamp features engravings of the model name, serial number, Mugello Circuit layout, and Bagnaia’s lap record—sealing its identity as a one-of-a-kind collector’s piece.
All 163 units have already been sold, underscoring the model’s extreme exclusivity.
