Hyperrealistic finger painting artist Paolo Troil reveals “Centauro,” a Streetfighter V4 with a special livery
“Centauro” to join “Minotauro,” a Lamborghini Huracán EVO with a similarly special color scheme
Both models were available for viewing at Ducati and Lamborghini’s “Art of Creating Myths” event
A guy named Paolo Troilo has finger-painted on the Streetfighter V4 that was the life of the party in Ducati’s 2023 World Première.
The dynamic duo showed off a stunning “Verde Citrea/Arancio Dac” color scheme, with 630 units available for discerning clientele (the kind willing to put down $79,000 USD for the bike alone).
Today, Ducati and Lamborghini move to a highly personalized medium that evokes a special blend of both speed and emotion.

Troilo has titled his artwork “Centauro,” and the bike follows in the wheel track of “Minotauro,” a similarly stunning work that Troilo completed on a Lamborghini Huracán EVO.
Here’s an excerpt from Paolo himself detailing how Centauro’s theme came to life:
Centaur was born from the idea of mythologizing a feeling. Feeling beyond one’s capabilities is the strongest feeling. When I looked at the Streetfighter V4, I felt this, and I felt [an increase] in my capabilities.
