Jason Statham recently shared some exciting news on his Instagram account – he’ll be riding the Ducati Superleggera V4 in the upcoming film, Expendables 4. This stunning motorcycle is not only the fastest Ducati available, but it’s also one of the most exotic bikes on the market. With its sleek design and impressive specs, the Ducati Superleggera V4 is sure to turn heads wherever it goes.
The renowned Hollywood actor, Jason Statham, is widely recognized for his impressive action scenes. Among his notable works is the Expendables film series, in which he was seen riding a Ducati Desmosedici RR motorcycle. During the time of the movie’s release, the said motorcycle was not only one of the fastest models produced by Ducati but also one of the fastest motorcycles globally. Currently, as filming for the fourth installment of the Expendables franchise is ongoing, the fastest Ducati model available today is the Superleggera V4. It is one of the fastest motorcycles globally, and we may witness Statham once again riding the latest and the quickest Ducati machine in the upcoming movie. Statham shared glimpses of him and the motorcycle by uploading videos and photos of himself riding the bike.
In June of 2020, the inaugural Ducati Superleggera V4 emerged from the production line and was promptly handed over to its first customer. The 001/500 variant of this model found its way to Belgian Ducatista, Filip Van Schil, who happens to own several other stunning Ducati bikes.
Despite being a loyal Ducatista, receiving such a warm welcome left him quivering with emotions.
According to him, it was an unimaginable experience to have ordered the bike first and receive it directly from the company while feeling the passion of the people working at Borgo Panigale. He believes that experiences like these are what make Ducati stand out compared to other motorcycle manufacturers.
The Superleggera V4 001 was presented by Claudio Domenicali, the CEO of Ducati Motor Holding, and was then given to its proud new owner. This special event was held at the Centro Stile Ducati.
The Superleggera V4 is a unique motorcycle that has been approved for road use. What sets it apart is that its chassis, which includes the frame, subframe, swingarm, and rims, is made entirely of composite material. This has resulted in a weight saving of 6.7 kg for these components when compared to the Paigale V4 MY20. The manufacturing process of these components involves using advanced techniques borrowed from the aerospace industry, such as thermography, ultrasound checks, and tomography, to ensure the highest standards of quality and safety.
