HomeFuture-forward for 30 years: the style of the Ducati 916 has been passed down, generation after generation, evolution after evolution, as far as the Panigale that, with this special edition, celebrates a legacy of beauty, performance, and victory.
The livery of the Panigale V4 SP2 30° Anniversario 916 is inspired by the Ducati 996 that triumphed in the 1999 WorldSBK Championship. One of the most beautiful Ducati race bikes ever built, the details of which are adopted by the Panigale, but given a modern twist.
The main details of the special livery are the tricolour bands on the top fairing and tail section and the number holder plate with world champion’s number “1” that, together with the red front mudguard, references those years. From side on, the 916 logo is modernised and given a gold border, another tribute to the past. The connection to Carl Fogarty’s bike is enhanced with the visual separation of the tank and fairing, achieved with the polished black colour of the upper fairing.
