2023 DUCATI PANIGALE V4 R – 一萬六千五百轉 繞樑三日 240hp 絕代風華
2023 DUCATI PANIGALE V4 R採用以往只在MotoGP和Superbike才會使用到的”軍事”技術，例如鈦合金連桿採用槍鑽研磨gun drilled技術製作。即係咩？沿桿縱向鑽直徑 1.6 毫米的孔，允許機油從頭部流向小端，提高了極端條件下的潤滑和可靠性。

活塞重量也減輕了5克，相當於其原有重量的2%，從而減低慣性力，令活塞高速上落時可以更敏捷。活塞表面也經過類金剛石納米塗層DLC處理，能減低磨擦力，同時更耐高溫和耐磨。

2023 DUCATI PANIGALE V4 R還有輪廓更激進的進氣凸輪，令進氣哇佬的升程增加了1 毫米，配合其他細微改動，改善了高轉速下的呼吸效率，從而達到賽車排氣配置中的最大功率。在TRACK MODE並換上全部Racing kit及使用特殊賽車機油時，在15,500rpm火力全開的情況下，峰值輸出高達240.5 hphp！在12,000rpm時，扭力高達11.35kg-m！
當換上全套賽車喉之後，PANIGALE V4 R乾重只有167kg，濕重只有188.5kg。即係每Kg重量，有近1.28hp馬力去推動！絕對嚇死人。

因為一對碳翼和白色一號MotoGP廠花，令到這臺新款Ducati Panigale V4 R相當易認。這輛終極超跑將首次以編號系列生產，並在鋼坯鋁製轉向器上，顯示編號和型號名稱。
FRAME
Aluminum alloy “Front Frame” with optimized stiffnesses
FRONT SUSPENSION

Panigale V4 R的核心動力是新的998 cc Desmosedici Stradale R V4機器，能夠在六檔時達到 16,500 rpm。在符合歐 5 標準的情況下，轉數上到15,500 rpm 時提供能提供218 hp馬力，這數據已足以傲視同群。
FRONT WHEEL
3-spokes forged aluminum alloy 3.50″ x 17″
FRONT TYRE
Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP 120/70 ZR17
新的 Desmosedici Stradale R 儘管進行了所有改進，但由於排氣系統符合嚴格的 Euro-5 認證所產生的限制，與以前的版本相比，其性能略有下降。 然而，這款發動機的全部潛力通過安裝賽車排氣裝置在賽道上得到體現，使其達到 237 馬力，比前代產品高出 3 馬力。
REAR SUSPENSION
Fully adjustable Ohlins TTX 36 unit
with hydraulic spring preload adjuster
Aluminium single-sided swingarm
Adjustable pivot position +/- 3 mm
REAR WHEEL
3-spokes forged aluminum alloy 6.00″ x 17″
REAR TYRE
Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP 200/60 ZR17
咦乜唔係240.5hp咩？未講完，新的 Desmosedici Stradale R開發原來涉及油品供應商Shell和Ducati Corse合作開發的特殊機油。新的高性能機油保證機械摩擦減少 10%，所以最大功率能進一步增加 3.5 hp，達到240.5hp。
WHEEL TRAVEL
(FRONT/REAR) 125 mm (4.9 in) – 130 mm (5.1 in)
這種賽車高性能機油的配方是使用了賽車型添加劑，並只限應用於乾式離合器。如果濕式離合器採用添加了這種賽車型添加劑機油的話，會導至扭矩傳遞出現問題。簡單講即係太滑了，浸在這種機油的極力子片在高轉時會咬得不夠緊而打滑。
FRONT BRAKE
2 x 330 mm semi-floating discs
radially mounted Brembo Monobloc Stylema®
(M4.30) 4-piston callipers

以2023 年版本的Desmosedici Stradale R還配備了新的乾式離合器，這是源自杜卡迪官方團隊在 WorldSBK 中使用的版本而開發的。離合器的直徑和軸向長度已減小24毫米，最重要是重量減少了約 800 克。
DRY WEIGHT
172 kg / 167 kg with full racing exhaust
KERB WEIGHT
193.5 kg / 188.5 kg with full racing exhaust
為了進一步拋離對手，提高賽道性能，Panigale V4 R 採用了與 WorldSBK賽車相同的傳動比，就像 Panigale V4 S 2022 一樣，一檔（+11.6 %)、二檔 (+5.6%) 和六檔 (+1.8%)。 因此，一檔在賽道騎行中變得更有用，在制動時提供更好的牽引力，在離開彎道時提供更好的加速。 此外，一檔和二檔之間較小的差距，讓DQS快速換檔可以更有效地工作，增加了賽車模式的威力。
