Ducati's New V4 Superbike Sounds Incredible

With the reveal of Ducati's new V4-powered superbike just days away, why not get a little preview with this testing footage?

A couple of months ago, Ducati dropped a massive bombshell by declaring the impending end of its V-twin sports bikes. It breaks a tradition that goes back decades, but have a quick watch of the video above, and we reckon you might just be OK with what the Bologna bike firm has in mind for the first installment in its new era of superbikes.

Yes, this testing footage may be potato-spec, but the sound is the important thing here. And Ducati’s new MotoGP-inspired V4 belts out a rather brilliant din, don’t you think?

It serves as a nice little taster ahead of the engine’s full reveal, which Ducati has announced will be happening at Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli on 7 September. We can’t wait to see what’s been cooked up…

I think you mistyped “Youtube top 10 most shocking pranks (gone wrong) (gone sexual) (cops called)” for “Carthrottle” in your Google search bar

  1. Stop saying first. We don’t do that here.

  2. Bikes aren’t disallowed, here. Who are you to tell that to the staff?

Yes CARthrottle but if they didn’t want bikes why do you think they made a bike community

Hey Ducati, if you happen to have any of those engines just laying around, I NEED one for my Miata. Thanks.

Seriously though, think of how sick that would be! 👌

It’s far too low-pitched for that, but I can hear the resemblance

“If we can’t continue making an engine, just double the number of cylinders!”

If only BMW followed that logic. The current M5 would have a V20, and the M3 a V16…

Aren’t BMWs chassis cars and not engine cars?

A V20 powered M5…That would be amazing…
