The 848EVO Special Edition, with aluminium tank and the new Ducati Corse Development Team colour scheme, is the perfect gateway to the racing world. Sophisticated Ducati-developed electronics make the most of every drop of engine power while the Öhlins rear shock absorber and the 330 mm brake discs bring out the qualities of the Trellis frame

Dressed in the new official Ducati Corse Test Team livery of matte black and matte grey, the 848EVO Corse Special Edition takes the already exciting 848EVO and adds racing instinct with outright style and enhanced performance.

The brand new, lightweight aluminium fuel tank is beautifully formed in 2mm thick aluminium, brush finished and matte clear-coated with matte black and grey racing stripes that accentuate its Ducati Corse "feel". The tank reduces the model's overall dry weight by 1kg (2.2lb) to 167kg (368lb) and increases the model's fuel capacity by 2.5 Litres (0.66 US gal) to 18 Litres (4.75 US gal).

Equipped with full 8-level Ducati Traction Control (DTC) and the Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) system, the Corse Special Edition raises its game even further on the road or race track. Combine the enhanced electronic package with the superior feel of fully adjustable Öhlins rear suspension and 330mm front brake discs and it is clear that the brand new model fully deserves its "Special Edition" status.

The 848EVO Corse Special Edition uses identical DTC and DQS concepts as the 1199 Panigale. DTC monitors front and rear wheel speeds to detect rear wheel-spin under acceleration and electronically reduces engine power to optimise traction performance. DQS allows the throttle to remain open when changing-up through the gearbox, helping to save vital fractions of a second in the pursuit of faster laptimes. The 848EVO Corse Special Edition's new livery is set against red Trellis frame and black wheels.
