This innovative engine, developed in collaboration with Porsche, delivered a potent blend of power and performance, exceeding the output of any previous Harley Davidson powerplant. The V-Rod Vrsca also boasted a modern, aggressive aesthetic with a sleek, low-slung profile, a contrasting black and chrome color scheme, and a distinctive tubular frame that emphasized its performance-oriented nature.
