Description
Introduced to the world at the Milan Motor Show in 2011, the 1199 Panigale was developed around a monocoque rather than Ducati's traditional trellis-frame. It makes liberal use of famed Italian manufacturer Ducati's race experience and extracts 195hp out of a 1198cc liquid-cooled L-Twin engine. In an inventive twist, the engine itself is part of the bike's frame, and connected directly to the airbox/monocoque, swing arm and seat rail. The result is a lightweight and extremely durable vehicle. A wealth of electronic components helps to control engine output, suspension characteristics and more. The bike's sleek design has won it plaudits and awards from around the world.
This scale model assembly kit depicts the Tricolore version of the thoroughbred Ducati 1199 Panigale S. As its name suggests, the Tricolore came in a 3-color scheme: red, white, and green to match the colors of the famous tricolore italiano national flag, in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of Italian reunification. It shared most of the base bike’s revolutionary design, including the 1,198cc L-Twin engine integrated into the monocoque frame and directly connected to the swing arm, damper unit, and so on.
