Ducati has pulled the covers over its latest collectors edition motorcycle , with the Panigale V2 acting as the basis for the V2 Superquadro Final Edition . The Italian brand describes the Panigale V2 Superquadro Final Edition as “ a token of gratitude and love for the Superquadro family of engines , the most sophisticated twin-cylinders ever produced by Ducati ”. The V2 Superquadro Final Edition is therefore the climax of a long series , which began over thirty years ago , of 90 ° V2 engines with Desmodromic four-valve per cylinder distribution . This collector ’ s Panigale , produced in a limited and numbered series of 555 units , is a tribute to the Superquadro engine , whose story comes to fruition with Nicolò Bulega ’ s conquest of the first Supersport world title . The first Superquadro engine was created in 2011 for the 1199 Panigale . The name derives from the high ratio between bore and stroke , which in the 1285cc engine has allowed it to deliver a benchmark maximum power figures for a twin-cylinder .

The technical solutions of the Superquadro twin-cylinder have set new standards for refinement and sophistication . The crankcases were made by Vacural casting , with aluminium pressed-in cylinder liners equipped with NikaSil coating which allowed the heads to be fixed directly on the crankcases . The head , clutch and oil pan covers are made of magnesium . All this has helped produce an extremely compact and rigid engine , a stressed element of an innovative chassis based on an unprecedented monocoque frame . The Desmodromic valve train has seen the adoption of “ super-finished ” rocker arms coated with DLC treatment to reduce friction and increase resistance to fatigue . The mixed
