Fancy a Superquadro for the shelf? Pocher’s Panigale V2 is the answer
Ducati’s Superquadro era may be ending, but Pocher’s ultra-detailed model kit offers fans a surprisingly accessible route to owning a slice of the twin-cylinder legacy.
With Ducati steadily shifting toward new-generation engines, the Panigale V2 Superquadro Final Edition effectively marks the closing chapter for one of the firm’s most characterful powerplants.

But if the real thing sits firmly in modern-classic territory (and is likely to stay there price-wise), Pocher reckons it has a more attainable alternative.
The premium model manufacturer has unveiled a 1:4 scale Ducati Panigale V2 Superquadro Final Edition kit, officially licensed by the Italian marque and designed to capture the bike’s engineering flair in miniature form. And while it won’t bark into life on a Sunday morning, it might just be one of the most cost-effective ways of “owning” the last of the breed.
For those unfamiliar, Pocher is something of a heavyweight in the high-end model world. The company specialises in large-scale kits that lean heavily into realism, often blending die-cast metal with finely moulded components to recreate everything from classic cars to exotic motorbikes. These aren’t quick weekend builds either, and are intentionally aimed squarely at patient enthusiasts who enjoy the process as much as the finished product.
With that last point in mind, the Panigale kit packs more than 700 parts and is said to require upwards of 30 hours to complete, promising a properly involved assembly experience rather than a simple slot-together affair.
Detail is, unsurprisingly, a major selling point, with the cockpit featuring lifelike switchgear and a digital dash, while the exposed Superquadro engine, suspension hardware, chain drive and bodywork have all been faithfully reproduced. Even the bike’s aggressive stance and aerodynamic lines appear to have survived the shrink ray intact. And if the £789.99 asking price for the full kit is a little out of your price range, you could instead opt for the slightly cheaper (and probably quicker to build) V2 engine kit, which is priced at £159.99.
Of course, it won’t replace the sensation of riding a Ducati twin at full chat, but as the industry edges forward — and engines like the Superquadro fade into history — kits like this offer a tangible reminder of what made them special.
