After teasing the public for some weeks, MV Agusta has finally revealed its F4Z superbike, a collaboration with Italian design house Zagato. MV released the pictures in a Twitter post, with a message saying the F4Z will be shown at Chantilly Arts and Elegance show in France on September 4.
Not many details have been revealed about the new F4Z superbike, save a couple of teaser videos which really didn’t show much at all. From the pictures, we can see Zagato’s stunning wrap-around bodywork, eschewing MV’s current design style of flat and brutally angular panel lines.
We assume the 2017 F4Z will be using some variant of MV’s current F4-series inline four-cylinder, and that the MV Agusta trellis frame will hold everything together. A single Cyclopean headlight is tucked under the front fairing, and the windscreen looks to be a tilt-adjustable oval piece.
The single-sided swingarm from the F4 series superbikes is also retained, and we think it can be safely assumed this is more a styling exercise than anything new, technology wise. No word on if this will become an actual production machine, or will merely be displayed as a concept bike.
MV Agusta has had a troubled year, embroiled in financial turmoil and acrimonious discussion with its 25% shareholder, Mercedes-AMG. Milan-based Zagato is an independant design house which has produced designs for concept and production cars for many of the world’s automakers, notably Aston Martin and Alfa Romeo.

Headlamp only face straight. When cornerings at night, sure KO.
Maybe it has the intelligent lighting system like the cars, ikut steering dan signal… mana tau kan…
Anyway, Zagato is one of my favourites (more so then Pininfarina). I still remember the Alfa Romeo SZ, such a beauty.
Now I’m curious to know how many motorcycles you’ve seen before.
WIN!!!
Very cheap headlamp, only lelong for 1 Euro bailout.
Its official that MV Agusta is having financial issue .. Can someone tell me is it safe to buy a MV Agusta bike now ?
If u dun trust in P1 then, do u trust in Mesidis now?
Oooh… product from the company proton sold for 1 dollar.
Sold for €1 plus umpteen millions of debt, u conveniently forgot that part.
Hmmmm… The bike seems to resembles pokeball design…yaiksss
MV Agusta is in financial problem , can anyone tell me is it safe to own a MV Agusta bike ? will all the bike owners end up with spare parts sourcing issue later ?
Wow!!..stunning Italian design
Zagato as it is always be… Uniquely Zagato be it a sport car or now, a sport bike!
That front arch fairings covering the headlight have some AM inspired profile. Perhaps he designed this right after Vanquish Zagato.
Wow, so sexy!
