“Announcing this engine is like having a new baby and bringing it to life. In the future, we will have an electric engine but for now, let’s excite having an exciting engine like this,” said Ducati boss Claudio Domenicali of the engine.
“This engine is super close to the MotoGP engine, the angle of the cylinder and the bottom of the engine is close to the MotoGP, we tried not to compromise. Of course, one is a race engine and has a shorter life, but wherever possible we tried not to compromise.”
