And no surprise, the Italian gun was grinning from ear to ear. The Temerario, a new high-performance electrified beast from Sant’Agata Bolognese, is packing a brand-new twin-turbo V8 paired with three electric motors. The combined grunt? A wild 920 horses, launching the stuning car from 0–100km/h in just 2.7 seconds — and 0–200 in a staggering 7.1. Top speed? 343km/h. Yep, it’s proper quick.

Top speed? 343km/h. Yep, it’s proper quick…

Pecco, a self-confessed Lamborghini fan, jumped at the chance to sample it. “I’d never felt anything like it,” he said.“Rather than feeling like a turbo, it’s more like a naturally aspirated engine with a wild intake system. Hitting 10,000rpm is unbelievable. But what shocked me most was how easy it is to drive. It’s a stunning combination.”

That lofty 10,000rpm redline is more reminiscent of a bike than your typical supercar — no wonder it got Pecco’s attention. It’s a unique nod to performance engineering from both Ducati and Lamborghini, which are both under the Volkswagen Group umbrella.

The number 63 on Pecco’s GP bike also connects him to the brand — Lamborghini was founded in 1963, and the link is more than just symbolic. Between Ducati’s Desmosedici and Lambo’s latest track-slaying tech, it’s clear both Italian brands are at the cutting edge.

While the Temerario HPEV isn’t available to the public just yet (and still going through the final type approval stages), if Pecco’s reaction is anything to go by, it’s going to be a serious bit of kit when it hits the road. Stay tuned for more as we keep an eye on when this high-revving hybrid monster is officially released, we might hit Lambo up for a long term family car!

This marks the third collaboration between the two icons of Italian engineering and style, following the Diavel 1260 Lamborghini and the wild Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini. With shared roots in the heart of Italy’s legendary Motor Valley, Ducati and Lamborghini have blended their passions for high-performance, precision engineering, and unmistakable design to create something truly special.

“With the Panigale V4 Lamborghini, we continue our mission to craft the most beautiful and exclusive motorcycles for the road,” said Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali. “We’ve taken inspiration from the Lamborghini Revuelto and applied it to our most advanced superbike to date.”

Revuelto-Inspired Design Meets Panigale Performance
The new Panigale V4 Lamborghini is based on the latest-generation Panigale V4 S platform but features extensive aesthetic and component upgrades designed in collaboration with Lamborghini’s Centro Stile. The result? A stunning machine limited to just 630 numbered units, each dripping with supercar-inspired styling and materials.

Visually, the bike features exposed carbon-fibre bodywork finished in a bespoke livery drawn directly from the Revuelto’s colour palette: a mix of Verde Scandal, Grigio Telesto, and Grigio Acheso. The forged aluminium wheels mimic the style of the Revuelto, while the aerodynamic wings and tail unit have been reworked by Ducati’s design team to better mirror the aggressive lines of the Lamborghini hypercar.

Everywhere you look, the bike is a tribute to Lamborghini. From the custom saddle inspired by the Revuelto’s interior, to the carbon-fibre heat shields, heel guards, and mudguards, attention to detail is off the charts. The carbon weave follows Lamborghini’s signature herringbone layout—perfectly symmetrical down the centreline.

Performance: Lighter, Faster, Sharper
Under the skin, this is still a thoroughbred Ducati. Power comes from the Desmosedici Stradale 1103cc V4, putting out a monstrous 218.5hp thanks to a dedicated engine calibration and a full Akrapovič titanium exhaust with carbon end caps. The Panigale V4 Lamborghini weighs in at just 185kg, nearly 2kg lighter than the standard V4 S, giving it a ferocious 1.18 hp/kg power-to-weight ratio.

The bike features all the tech Ducati can throw at it, including the Ducati Vehicle Observer (DVO) predictive electronics suite, Race eCBS, Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 suspension, and a dry clutch. Billet aluminium levers, footrests, and counterweights add to the premium feel, while extras like a racing tank cap, carbon clutch cover, open license plate delete kit, and brake cooling ducts are also included in the crate for track-day addicts. And yes, each bike is delivered in a customised wooden crate with a matching paddock stand, certificate of authenticity, and fitted bike cover.

Speciale Clienti: Lamborghini Owners Only
For those lucky enough to own a Lamborghini Revuelto, Ducati is offering an even more exclusive version: the Panigale V4 Lamborghini Speciale Clienti. Limited to just 63 units, this variant allows Lamborghini customers to work directly with Ducati’s Centro Stile to colour-match their Panigale to their supercar—or select from a curated palette of options. Even the triple clamp engraving and rear stand are customisable. It’s the ultimate flex—a matching Ducati and Lamborghini pairing, designed down to the last bolt.

Full Racing Look Available
Completing the package, Ducati is offering an exclusive line of matching gear, including a helmet, leather suit, and jacket in the same colour scheme as the bike. Buyers of the Speciale Clienti variant can even customise the leather suit to match their unique livery.

Availability
Deliveries of the Ducati Panigale V4 Lamborghini are scheduled to begin in September 2025, and with just 630 examples globally (plus 63 Speciale Clienti bikes), this latest collector’s edition is expected to sell out faster than a Desmosedici on a straight.

Stay tuned for local availability and pricing as it’s confirmed—and if you’re lucky enough to secure one, we want to feature it!
