Luxury superbike brand Ducati has decided to celebrate Ducati 916 anniversary by building a special 916-dedicated version of the Panigale V4. Basically, Ducati is presenting a special limited-edition bike - just 500 will be built. Bike number 5 is to be auctioned, with proceeds going to a fund-raising effort in memory of Carlin Dunne. The bike is priced at Rs 54,90,000 ex-showroom in India.

Starting from Saturday morning, the Panigale V4 25° Anniversario 916 will go on display at Ducati Island (the space Ducati traditionally sets aside for its fans during American races). 

The Panigale V4 25° Anniversario 916 will arrive in dealerships starting from October 2019 at a price of Rs 54,90,000 Ex-showroom (price is country specific).

Sergi Canovas, Managing Director of Ducati India said, "The Ducati 916 is one of the most iconic motorcycles to have come out of the Borgo Panigale factory and it redefined design and performance at its time. At Ducati, we’re very proud of our heritage and what better way to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the 916 than to produce an ultraexclusive version of the Panigale V4, recognizing our present and the past. The Panigale V4 25° Anniversary 916 is coming to India and I’m sure bike enthusiasts and collectors alike will appreciate its uniqueness."

"I’m thrilled to be here at this event," stated Carl Fogarty after riding the Panigale V4 25° Anniversario 916 onto the stage at Pebble Beach.
