The Ferrari V4 Superbike Concept

Israeli industrial designer Amir Glinik has created a Ferrari motorcycle concept that's pretty impressive. The bike uses drive-by-wire technology, a modified "V4" based on the engine of a Ferrari Enzo car, hand controls adapted from an F-16 fighter jet and buttons based on those found on the steering wheel of Ferrari's Formula 1 racecars.

"Vintage and modern Ferrari projects influence my design," Glinik notes. "It's a mix of what I find to be the best Ferrari lines with the latest technology I could think of in terms of engine, gear and driving management."

Unfortunately there are no plans currently to actually produce any of the motorcycles beyond this concept. You can see more pictures of the motorcycle over at Luxist HERE, and a yellow version of the bike HERE.
