In 2001 Ducati introduced the limited production (only 500 were built). 996 R. the suffix standing for ‘Racing'. which featured Öhlins suspension (rear and front). carbon fibre bodywork. a revised and more streamlined fairing. but most importantly the newly redesigned engine. the Testastretta (narrow-head) which actually displaced 998cc. The engine got its name from the narrower angle between the intake and exhaust valves. down to only 25 degrees. which was designed by Ing. Marchetti. coming from Ferrari F1. It featured more aggressive camshafts. titanium con rods and a shorter stroke and wider bore. which allowed it to rev more safely at high RPMs. It produced 98. 5 kW (136 bhp) at 10. 00 RPM with a maximum torque of 105 Nm at 8000 RPM. Most of the chassis was the same as the 996 SPS. but using a new Brembo braking system. with thinner discs and 4-pad. 4-pot calipers with 34mm pistons.
