Ducati Panigale V2 receives a new White Rosso Livery
What's the story
Ducati has unveiled the Panigale V2 donning an all-new White Rosso Livery. It is expected to hit the Indian shores along with the normal variant. The white Panigale V2 features subtle red accents around the headlights, air intakes and on the rims. The company had earlier released a teaser video of the Panigale V2, which suggested that it would replace the Panigale 959 in India.

The changes with the White Rosso Livery
The new White Rosso Livery on the Ducati Panigale V2 makes it look more subtle. However, the aggressive stance of the motorcycle is maintained with the Racing red highlights on the wheels and intakes. Another difference is the housing of the V2 badge that now looks larger and sits in the lower half of the fairing, allowing it to distinguish itself from the V4.
