LEGO recreates Ducati Panigale V4 S racer in a stunning 1:4 miniature version

Ducati stable is loaded with high-performance road-legal bikes, but none better than the Panigale V4 S.  For those who cannot afford the real thing, LEGO has the next best option – a buildable set that’ll be the perfect gift for a motorhead.

The Italian marque’s DNA flows in this breathtaking design of a racing demon that comes with the rush of acceleration and precision handling on the chicanes. Now it’s your chance to build the iconic Ducati bike from scratch and show off on your workstation setup or living room shelf.

This lifelike recreation in a 1:4 scaled-down version replicates every little detail of the racer and the mechanical intricacies as well. When put together the 1603-piece brick model is strikingly close to the real thing. The builders have gone down to the level of emulating the sophisticated 3-speed pedal gear shift that sets the 1 cm plastic Desmosedici Stradale 3 hp engine in motion. The rear wheels spin to engage the chain, setting the cool LEGO bike in motion. Add to that the realistic front and rear suspension, and a mechanically similar steering input, and you have a simulated experience of a MotoGP or Superbike.

LEGO Technic Ducati Panigale V4 S model measures more than 30 cm in height, 43 cm in length and 15 cm in width when completely put together by experience or using the companion app. Draped in the signature Ducato red, the set can be displayed on a dedicated stand to look like a miniature copy of the Panigale V4 S. Priced at $200, the LEGO set is slated to go on sale in stores and online portals on January 1, 2025. The set is targeted towards people aged 18 or older, and we already love the idea.
