Ducati Launches Panigale V4 Tricolore in India at ₹77 Lakh

Ducati has brought the ultra-exclusive Panigale V4 Tricolore to India, priced at Rs. 77 lakh (ex-showroom). The Tricolore comes draped in the colours of the Italian national flag and features various exclusive parts and finishes over the standard Panigale V4.

In terms of its engine and frame, the Panigale V4 Tricolore is identical to the normal Panigale V4 in that it employs the same 1,103cc liquid-cooled, V4 powerhouse, which makes 216 hp as well as 120.9 Nm of torque. This also has the same expensive suite of rider aids as the latest Panigale V4.

For instance, the wheels, chain guard, heel guards, swingarm cover, alternator cover, and exhaust guard are all finished in carbon fibre. This has also got the huge 338.5mm front disc brakes – the largest on any production bike that is mated to a Brembo MCS 19.21 master cylinder as well as top-of-the-line Hypure callipers, which bring this bike to a halt. As a result of all these lightweight parts, the Tricolore weighs 188kg, which is 3 kilos less than the Panigale V4 S.

This is not just special parts which make the Tricoloure stand out, although it is the attention for detailing the small things which will truly seal the deal for the buyers. With the production limited to just 1,000 units globally and only ‘very few’ coming to India, the Tricoloure is quite sure to be a rare sight on the road.

Each bike will come with a numbered plate on the steering head and a certificate of authenticity. The Tricolore’s 6.9-inch TFT display has also bespoke animation upon turning the key, and the key itself bears the number of the bike.

At Rs. 77 lakh, the Ducati Panigale V4 Tricolore is certainly an indulgence only a few, well-heeled collectors can afford, and considering that some will come to India, it is unlikely we will be seeing one on the road anytime soon.

While the Rs. 77 lakh will actually get you the luxury sedans like BMW 3-series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the Tricolore is actually not the most expensive Ducati in India today. That is a title which belongs to the brand’s WSBK homologation special, Panigale V4 R, that commands Rs. 85 Lakh.
