2023 Ducati Panigale V4 SP2 packs 228 hp and a lot of racing hardware:
Ducati wrapped up a months-long campaign of introducing new models by unveiling the 2023 Panigale V4 SP2. Developed with track use in mind, it's an evolution of the Panigale V4 that benefits from numerous upgrades that have trickled down from the firm's racing program.
The 210-horsepower output is impressive, especially considering the V4 SP2 tips the scale at 381 pounds. Riders can also order an optional titanium exhaust system developed with Akrapovič. It increases horsepower and torque to 228 and 97, respectively, and it reduces the SP2's weight to 370 pounds. Put another way, in this configuration the V4 SP2 weighs 75 pounds less than Ford's 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine.
Most of the visual changes were made to improve function rather than form. For example, the tip of the brake and clutch levers are milled to reduce air resistance. The brushed-aluminum fuel tank is exposed, and the SP2 is only available in flat black with red accents.
