When you talk about collaboration and crossover of brands within the same family, it’s usually weak. When those brands are Ducati and Lamborghini, they stop being lame and start looking cool.
Enter the Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini. This is a very limited edition of the V4 S (which is actually a patch-nut type motorcycle) with a lot of styling cues. Also Banana Lamborghini Huracan STO. It adds some spicy bits to the Street Fighter formula for something truly desirable and moreish.
Based on the Streetfighter V4 S Panigale V4 S, meaning it packs a 200-horsepower 1,103cc V4, Ohlins electronic suspension and enough safety electronics to keep even the most demanding racer from crashing into low Earth orbit. The Lamborghini version adds a new Akrapovic muffler, Lamborghini-like wheels and revised body panels inspired by the very aggressive Huracan STO design.
The best thing about the Streetfighter Special is that it comes factory fitted with a dry clutch. If you’re not a Ducati fan, you’re wondering why this is cool. Basically, it makes road cycling objectively bad because he’s not happy about it It slips but makes the craziest and most disastrous sound. This is like Satan’s own trumpet Washing machine full of car accidents. It’s nice.

It’s not the first time the high-powered Italian automakers have teamed up. It is definitely the coolest. Earlier cooperation existed 1260 Lamborghini DiavelInspired by Cyan.
Ducati will build 630 models for the public only, with an additional 63 models for existing Huracan STO owners to match their vehicles. If you want any of these things, be prepared to pay exorbitant Italian prices for them. The “regular” Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini sells for up to $68,000, and if you’re invited to buy one of the 63 specials, it’s $83,000.
