Like its 1199 counterpart, the Ducati 1299 Superleggera is a limited edition version of the company's venerable superbike platform, and it focuses on being the lightest, most powerful, street-legal machine that Borgo Panigale can produce. Upping the ante this time around, Ducati has used a carbon fiber chassis (frame, swingarm, wheels, and bodywork) for the 1299 Superleggera, in addition to an array of other exclusive components and exotic materials. Also of note is the Akrapovič race exhaust, which looks like it fell right off Ducati's World Superbike project. When combined with the rest of the race kit, the Ducati 1299 Superleggera makes 220hp, and tips the scales at 162kg (wet). Truly impressive.
