The Ducati Superleggera V4 Centenario is rated at 228 hp in road configuration and 247 hp with its racing exhaust. Those are two different manufacturer-published setups—not one interchangeable headline figure—and Ducati says the higher-output racing configuration also uses Ducati Corse Performance Oil. The figures remain subject to change while homologation is ongoing.

Road power and racing power are different specifications

Ducati’s UK announcement lists peak output, torque and wet weight without fuel for each configuration. The racing figures require the racing exhaust; Ducati’s global model page also associates that configuration with Ducati Corse Performance Oil. All values below are Ducati claims, not independent measurements.

Configuration Maximum power Maximum torque Wet weight without fuel
Road 228 hp at 14,500 rpm 117.6 Nm at 10,500 rpm 173 kg (381 lb)
Racing 247 hp at 14,750 rpm, with racing exhaust 126.3 Nm at 12,500 rpm, with racing exhaust 167 kg (368 lb)

Ducati’s global page gives claimed power-to-weight ratios of 1.32 hp/kg for the road configuration and 1.48 hp/kg for the racing configuration. Its US launch material expresses the racing figure as 0.67 hp/lb. These ratios use Ducati’s stated configurations and weights; they are not independent test results. Ducati UK specifications; Ducati global model page.

What makes the engine a 1,103 cc unit

Ducati says the Centenario uses a project-exclusive 1,103 cc Desmosedici Stradale R 1100. The company describes the increase from 998 cc as a longer stroke: 53.5 mm rather than 48.41 mm. Ducati also lists titanium intake valves, titanium connecting rods and engine bolts, two-ring lightweight pistons, tungsten inserts in the crankshaft and hand-adjusted desmodromic valve timing. The manufacturer presents these choices as part of the engine’s lightweight, high-performance design; the published specifications do not amount to independent validation of performance.

Ducati’s US launch announcement and UK specification detail the engine and its components.

Lightweight construction goes beyond the engine

The official specification lists carbon-fiber front and rear frames, a carbon-fiber double-sided swingarm and an Öhlins NPX25/30 Carbon pressurized fork with carbon-fiber outer tubes. Ducati’s model page also identifies carbon-ceramic brake discs and a carbon-fiber chassis, swingarm and subframe. Ducati describes some of these technologies as world firsts; that status is the manufacturer’s claim, not an independently established finding. Ducati global model page; Ducati UK announcement.

Limited production, with specifications still subject to change

Ducati announced a road-legal edition limited to 500 numbered motorcycles. The company says homologation is ongoing and that specifications may change; its global page also cautions that some component images may change during homologation and industrialization. Treat the figures here as current manufacturer-published claims, not necessarily final certified specifications. Ducati’s launch materials do not establish a retail price, delivery timing, regional allocation or current availability. Ducati US launch announcement; Ducati UK announcement.
