Ducati India has launched the Panigale V4 SP at a staggering price of Rs 36.07 Lakhs (Ex. Showroom, India) in the country. It marks the return of the initials “SP” (Sport Production) on the fairing of a Ducati super sports bike, after many years. Ducati Panigale V4 SP bookings are now open across all the company dealerships in Delhi – NCR, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Kochi, Kolkata & Chennai, with deliveries starting immediately. For those asking, it is a track-only model and cannot be used on public roads.

Ducati Panigale V4 SP comes with a Winter Test livery in matt black with bright red details and exposed brushed aluminium fuel tank. The 'Winter Test' livery is inspired by the Ducati Corse bikes used in the pre-season tests of the MotoGP and SBK Championships. Being the Italian brand's flagship model, it differs itself from the Panigale V4 S through the inclusion of steering head machined from billet which shows the progressive number of the bike. It features adjustable rider foot pegs in billet aluminium and carbon front mudguard as standard. Some of the accessories offered by Ducati specifically for track riding are open carbon clutch cover, caps for removing the license plate holder and mirrors and Ducati Data Analyzer+ (DDA+) with telemetry kit and GPS module.
