Ducati 1199 Panigale S; 10, 18 seconds the quarter mile

Yesterday we were talking about the record achieved by Al Lamb with a modified Honda CBR1000RR. Today I bring you a video of the first time the Ducati 1199 Panigale S by Pattersons & Bunbury Ducati on a drag racing track. The result is 10, 18 seconds, which is not bad for a nearly 100% original bike.

Well 100% no, because the first thing they have changed is the whole exhaust and they have installed another 70 mm diameter complete system throughout its travel. Anyway, the sound is still impressive. The weather is hoping to improve it because Wayne, the driver, spent almost half of the trip with the front wheel in the air. And to finish fixing it, at the end of the journey the wheel began to skid at about 200 km / h. It is scary to think how far these people will be able to go, because if they reached 8.9 seconds with a Ducati 749 with turbo and took 214 hp, now, starting from the 195 hp of the Panigale, it seems that the figure will be even more stratospheric.
