The 2015 bike is said to use an updated version of the four-cylinder crossplane crank engine found in the current R1, and not a three-cylinder as predicted a couple of years ago.

As well as styling changes, the new R1 is expected to be available in two variations; a racing version rumoured to make 230hp and feature revised traction control and electronic suspension, and a standard version making less power from the ‘CP4’ engine with dual-clutch transmission available

Don't you hate it when you don't get to hear a decent sound bite of the bike?

Doesn't sound like a crossplane crank anymore does it?

Hard to tell tbh but I did hear they were keeping the cross plane crank so not sure tbh.

The 2015 Panigale may well have a tiptronic gearbox according to the rumours.

Interesting. I assume Audi have started to work their magic. Amazing if they have made it so small..
