The first LEGO version of a Ducati motorcycle is coming. The Ducati Panigale V4 R is getting the LEGO Technic treatment combining the styling of the motorcycle with working parts of a high-level LEGO model.

“We have all been children fond of LEGO bricks and I think it is easy to understand that this new licensing agreement between Ducati and the LEGO Group is like a dream come true. Two excellences that share the same values of dedication, passion and attention to detail come together to give life to a unique experience”, said Alessandro Cicognani, Ducati Licensing Director. “Our hope is that the Ducati Panigale V4 R LEGO Technic can bring together, excite and entertain children and parents, but also all the fans who ride their motorbikes every day.”

In real life,

the Ducati features a track-tested 998 cc Desmosedici Stradale R engine that achieves 221 horsepower delivered at 15,250 rpm with a traditional exhaust and 234 hp at 15,500 rpm with the Ducati Performance by Akrapovič full-racing exhaust.

The LEGO model has a two-speed gearbox, an innovation for the company and exclusive for this reproduction, which activates the four-cylinder engine. The model also has an original front and rear suspension that move to simulate a GP ride – also a company first.

Additionally, it has front and rear disc brakes, a kickstand, exhaust pipe, windscreen, and dashboard as well as steering designed to give the bike realistic movement.

The LEGO® Technic™ Ducati Panigale V4 R measures 32 cm in length, 16 cm in height and 8 cm in width. It has 646 pieces – about half as many as the typical LEGO Technic car build.

The LEGO Technic Ducati Panigale V4 R model s designed for fans aged 10+ and will be available in. Europe at Ducati dealerships, in the Ducati Online Shop, in LEGO Stores, in the LEGO Online Store and in LEGO Brand Retail Stores starting June 1, priced at €59.99.

The company also sells LEGO Technic versions of the 2020 Land Rover Defender and Nissan GT-R. A new Lamborghini model from the toymaker is coming soon and Dom’s Dodge Charger from the “Fast & Furious” movies is now available for order.
