Andrea FerraresiDirector of Strategy and Style Center at Ducati, commented after the brand received the Good Design Award 2025: “Receiving the Good Design Award is a great pride for us. Each line and each volume of the Panigale V4 is born from a precise vision, in which design and performance must dialogue in harmony.”
He concluded by stating that “This recognition validates what it means to design a Ducati: creating motorcycles capable of generating emotions at first sight and fulfilling that promise once in motion, thanks to the integration of beauty and technology”. Its design arises from the idea of reinterpreting the stylistic principles of the emblematic 916 with a modern touch, fusing them with Ducati’s sporting DNA.
The objective was to create a motorcycle capable of paying tribute to the history of the Italian manufacturer, while incorporating all the innovations and experience acquired thanks to its successes in the World Superbike Championship.
