Some partnerships just make sense. Ducati’s relationship with Lamborghini is one of them.
Both hail from Italy’s Motor Valley. Both manufacture high-performance luxury vehicles. That’s why it was no surprise when the Italian OEMs teamed up in 2020. The bond only grows stronger with the arrival of the 2026 Ducati Panigale V4 Lamborghini.
The third entry in the collaborative project pairs Ducati’s range-topping superbike, the Panigale V4 S, with Lamborghini’s new hybrid supercar, the Revuelto. While the limited-run Pani retains its core components, several key features draw it closer to the 1,001-horsepower Lambo.
Ducati Centro Stile joined forces with Lamborghini designers to fashion the Panigale’s aerodynamic winglets and tail piece after the Revuelto’s sharp, aggressive lines. Even the bike’s forged wheels match the pattern found on the Lambo’s rims. Styling wasn’t the only objective, though. So was performance.
Lightening the load is a titanium silencer. Pair the homologated slip-on with the V4 Lamborghini’s full carbon-fiber bodywork and you have the lightest Panigale V4 of the bunch, at 408 pounds (without fuel). That’s four pounds lighter than the standard Panigale V4 S.
Rounding out the add-ons list is a model-specific seat, plexiglas racing windscreen, dry clutch kit, and adjustable billet rearsets. The 63 theme, referring to 1963, the year in which Ferruccio Lamborghini founded the automaker, runs through the project. Ducati will produce 630 examples of the 2026 Panigale V4 Lamborghini and even more exclusive is the Speciale Clienti, which allows 63 select Lambo customers to personalize their Panigale V4 Lamborghini directly with Ducati Centro Stile. Be forewarned, neither option goes easy on the pocketbook.
The Panigale V4 Lamborghini retails for $78,400 USD ($88,800 CAN), while the Panigale V4 Lamborghini Speciale Clienti starts at $100,400 USD ($120,000 CAN). If you need a few days to scrimp and save, fret not, deliveries to North American customers won’t begin until December 2025.
It's worth noting that the Panigale V4 S carries a $33,895 price tag. Do the V4 Lamborghini’s styling updates, performance upgrades, and factory farkles justify the price hike? Hell no. Probably not. However, the clients Ducati has in its crosshairs may measure value differently. That’s to say, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Panigale V4 Lamborghini quickly sells out. After all, some partnerships just make sense.
