Ferrari
V4
The
Ferrari V4 superbike concept is a design created independently of Ferrari by
Israeli designer Amir Glinik.
While
the styling of the Ferrari V4 motorcycle might be controversial to say the
least, it certainly stands out from the crowd. And in part that's what a
Ferrari is supposed to do. The aesthetics of the Ferrari V4 motorbike have been
influenced by both classic and modern Ferrari vehicles, but revised and
repackaged into a motorcycle.
Under
the highly curvaceous bodywork of the Ferrari V4 motorcycle is, unsurprisingly
a V4 engine. This unit is derived from the Ferrari Enzo V12 block, which has
been cut down and redesigned into a V-four cylinder configuration. The engine
features ride-by-wire throttle control and is mated to a mono-block gearbox
that support the swing arm.
One
of the more unusual features of the Ferrari V4 superbike is is adjustable
ride-height suspension and dampening control. Riders can choose from two
separate ride heights and two shock damping styles for each ground clearance
setting.
The
brakes of the Ferrari V4 superbike concept consist of radial mounted discs and
twin calipers up front. Both front and rear brakes are electronically operated
and computer controlled to provide optimal braking under all road and weather
conditions.
A
weatherproof touch screen display is mounted flush into the top of the fuel
tank, directly in front of the rider. From this interface the rider can manage
bike systems or monitor information and diagnostic information, including;
radio, GPS, anti-theft device, RPM, speed, and current gear.
